Spacious 2K Apartment in Kokura, Kitakyushu with Southern Exposure
This well-maintained apartment, located in the Airtopia Hanabusa building in Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City, offers a comfortable and convenient urban lifestyle. The property features a 2K layout, providing distinct living and sleeping areas for privacy and functionality. The unit has a total floor area of 23.99 square meters (approximately 7.25 tsubo), with a south-facing balcony measuring 1.7 square meters, allowing for excellent natural light.
Key equipment and facilities include city gas, air conditioning, hot water supply, ample storage space, a balcony, and the presence of a traditional Japanese-style room (washitsu). A special note confirms the unit has a desirable southern orientation, and a recent upgrade includes a replacement of the water heater, ensuring modern convenience and efficiency.
The building itself is a 10-story reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in June 1974, containing 54 units. Monthly fees include a 6,400 yen management fee and an 8,480 yen reserve fund. While the building does not have dedicated parking available, the property is in move-in ready condition and is suitable for immediate occupancy.
The location is highly accessible, situated within a 5-minute walk from Tangu Station on the Kitakyushu High-Speed Railway, with Peace Street Station an 8-minute walk and Kawaraguchi-Mihagino Station a 10-minute walk away. The area is part of Kitakyushu's bustling commercial zone. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kokura Castle, a historic landmark, was famously spared from bombing during World War II because it was obscured by clouds, leading the B-29 bomber *Bockscar* to divert to Nagasaki instead. The closest major tourist attraction is the beautifully reconstructed Kokura Castle and its surrounding gardens, a symbol of the city's samurai history.
