Oriental Kokurakita: A Renovated Ground-Floor Apartment in a Quiet Residential Area
This 2LDK apartment in the Oriental Kokurakita building offers a comfortable and convenient lifestyle in a quiet residential neighborhood of Kitakyushu's Kokurakita Ward. The property is situated on the popular first floor, a feature that is especially appealing for families with young children as it eliminates concerns about noise transmission to units below. The apartment benefits from two-sided natural light due to its corner unit position, creating a bright and airy interior.
A comprehensive interior renovation was completed in April 2020, ensuring modern and move-in-ready conditions. The renovation included the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, flooring, walls, washbasin, plumbing pipes, water heater, and fittings. The kitchen features a built-in system kitchen with a three-burner gas stove. The bathroom and toilet are separate, and the unit is equipped with a shower, shower-equipped vanity, heated toilet seat, and bathroom dryer. The living and dining area includes a counter, and the layout allows for flexible furniture arrangement. The building offers secure living with an auto-lock entry system and a TV monitor intercom.

The area of Kokurakita is a well-established part of Kitakyushu City, offering a balanced urban-suburban feel. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kokura Castle was originally scheduled to be the target for the "Fat Man" atomic bomb in August 1945, but cloud cover over Kokura led to the bomber diverting to its secondary target, Nagasaki. The closest major tourist attraction is the reconstructed Kokura Castle, a historic site surrounded by a beautiful Japanese garden, which is approximately a 40-minute walk or a short bus ride from the property.
