Tamaki Heim: A Convenient and Affordable 2DK Apartment in Naha's Historic Shuri District
This listing presents Tamaki Heim, a compact and conveniently located 2DK apartment in the Shuri Toribori-cho neighborhood of Naha City, Okinawa. The property is situated on the second floor of a two-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in 1976. The apartment offers a functional layout with approximately 34 square meters of private floor space, suitable for individuals or couples seeking an affordable rental option in a well-connected area.
According to the agent's notes, the monthly rent is 35,000 JPY with an additional common area maintenance fee of 3,000 JPY. Notably, there is no security deposit (敷金) or key money (礼金) required. However, initial move-in costs are estimated at 250,000 JPY, which includes items such as a first-time guarantee commission of 20,000 JPY, a cleaning fee of 60,000 JPY (excluding tax), a lock replacement fee of 25,000 JPY (excluding tax), a renewal administrative fee of 23,000 JPY (excluding tax), and a 24-hour support service fee (2,500 JPY initial, 500 JPY monthly). The agent's commission is equivalent to 1.1 months' rent. The lease contract is for one year with renewal options, and a guarantor is required, though a guarantor proxy service is not available. The property does not include a parking space. The agent has noted that the move-in date is negotiable (入居応相談).
The location is a significant advantage. The apartment is just a 2-minute walk from the Tira 3-chome bus stop and, more impressively, only a 6-minute walk from the Shuri Station on the Okinawa Urban Monorail (Yui Rail). This provides excellent access to central Naha, including the prefectural office, Kokusai-dori (International Street), and Naha Airport. The Shuri area is historically rich, being the former capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. A major landmark within walking distance is the magnificent Shuri Castle (Shurijo), a UNESCO World Heritage site and a symbol of Okinawan heritage, though it is currently undergoing restoration after a fire.
