Important notes for prospective tenants indicate that viewings may not always be possible depending on application status or the condition of the unit before/after a tenant moves out. The managing company, Maruyu Housing, handles inquiries in order, so replies may take time, and no viewing or contract is confirmed until an agent makes contact. They offer online support from viewing to contract, welcoming inquiries from those living on remote islands or outside the prefecture.
The current tenant is scheduled to move out on April 3rd. Estimated initial costs start from approximately 210,000 yen (plus separate parking contract). Monthly fees include a "Marusapo 24" service at 2,750 yen and a guarantee company (Epocard Co., Ltd.) fee of 50% at initial contract and 1.5% monthly.
The Urasoe area offers excellent access to Naha. An interesting local fact is that Urasoe was once the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom's government before it moved to Shuri. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum and its surrounding park in nearby Itoman, a profound site dedicated to the history and legacy of the Battle of Okinawa.
