Pacific Vista I: A Spacious 7th-Floor 2LDK with Panoramic Views in Wakayama Marina City
This property is a 2LDK apartment located on the 7th floor of the 10-story Pacific Vista I building in the popular resort area of Wakayama Marina City. With a generous exclusive area of approximately 73.25 m², this southwest-facing corner unit offers an open and airy feel, enhanced by balconies on three sides. The balconies are attached to each living room, providing excellent views over Wakaura Bay and the Marina City townscape from the 7th floor.
The layout includes a spacious approximately 16.0-jo (tatami mat) Living-Dining-Kitchen (LDK) area with south-facing openings, and two Western-style rooms. The approximately 9.0-jo Western-style room 1 also enjoys views of Wakaura Bay. The partition between Western-style rooms 1 and 2 can be closed to separate the space from the LDK, offering flexible living arrangements. The property features a well-equipped kitchen, a vanity bathroom with a view, a separate toilet, and an entrance hall with ample storage space.
According to the agent's notes, the building facilities include a trunk room, a laundry corner, and a pet foot-washing station. Within the Marina City complex, residents have access to Kishu Kuroshio Onsen, the Kuroshio Market (famous for its tuna cutting shows), Porto Europa, Wakayama Marina City Hotel, a marina, and a fishing park (note that facility use is mostly charged). The property is pet-friendly, subject to the building's specific regulations.
A critical translation from the Japanese agent notes for Equipment/Facilities is: Electricity: Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. The property does not have gas. Water is supplied by Wakayama City Municipal Waterworks. Hot water is provided via a gas heat source shaft unit system. Drainage and sewage go directly into the Wakayama City public sewer system.
The apartment building itself offers convenient amenities such as a carport approach for rainy days, an entrance hall, and a lobby on the first floor. Monthly running costs for this property total 38,376 JPY, which includes management fees, a special repair reserve fund, parking management fees, and basic charges for hot water and water supply.
The surrounding Wakayama Marina City area is a major leisure destination in Wakayama Prefecture. An interesting fact is that the nearby Kuroshio Market is one of the few places in Japan where you can witness a dynamic tuna cutting demonstration several times a day. The closest major landmark is the picturesque Wakaura Bay, a scenic spot known for its historic temples, like the famous Kimii-dera Temple, which overlooks the bay and is renowned for its early-blooming cherry blossoms.
