Important notes for prospective tenants: Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for one person only—there is no waiting list. Contracts can be signed even before an in-person viewing. The estimated initial costs may include a prorated rent depending on the move-in date. Please inquire for details. If floor plans, videos, or photos differ from the actual condition, the actual condition takes priority. A dedicated app provides online support for post-move-in procedures, daily life, and emergency responses. No guarantor is required (though an emergency contact is), meaning no signature or seal certificate is needed. Contract fees and monthly rent can be paid by credit card. It's a 2-year contract with no penalty for early termination. The agent can accommodate company housing agencies and can arrange viewings, applications, and contract procedures outside of business hours with prior notice. For those living far away, remote viewings and application procedures can be conducted via smartphone or PC (IT explanation対応).
Additional costs are detailed as follows: a monthly guarantee commission fee (2.2% of total rent), a 24-hour support fee of 330 yen per month, a contract-time guarantee commission of 22,000 yen, a key set fee of 3,300 yen, a fixed cleaning fee of 50,000 yen, and a fire insurance of 18,000 yen (every 2 years, specified by the lessor).
The area of Urasoe is centrally located on Okinawa's main island, offering convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining a residential feel. An interesting historical fact is that Urasoe was once the capital of the Chūzan Kingdom, a precursor to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the ruins of Urasoe Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offer a glimpse into this rich past. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum and Park in nearby Itoman, a profound site dedicated to the lessons of war and the pursuit of peace.
