Dia Palace Sakae-machi: A Spacious 3LDK Apartment with Stunning Kanmon Strait Views
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and well-maintained 3LDK apartment in the desirable Sakae-machi area of Shimonoseki City. The apartment, located on the 3rd floor of a 9-story building, offers a generous 77.34 sqm of living space complemented by a large 20.41 sqm balcony. Built in March 1991, the unit has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation in late 2025, including a complete overhaul of the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and washbasin areas, as well as new wallpaper and flooring throughout, ensuring a move-in ready condition that rivals new construction.
According to the agent's special notes and remarks, this is a vacant property, and viewings can be scheduled free of charge. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the agent with their preferred dates. The agent's recommendation highlights several key features: "A life overlooking the Kanmon Strait," "A location that offers both excellent convenience and quiet serenity," and "Good sunlight and ventilation." The property is described as a "spacious 3LDK apartment recommended for families," with the added reassurance of a large number of households in the building and two elevators for smooth and efficient movement within the complex. The agent notes that viewings are available at any time and invites interested parties to make inquiries freely.
The building itself is a robust SRC (steel-framed reinforced concrete) structure with security features including an auto-lock system. The location is highly convenient, with Shimonoseki City Municipal Hospital just a 2-minute walk away, and everyday amenities like convenience stores and supermarkets within a short walking distance. While the nearest major train stations, Habu Station and Shimonoseki Station, are approximately a 30+ minute walk, the area is well-served by local facilities.
The surrounding area of Shimonoseki is rich in history and natural beauty. The city is famously known for the historic Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185, which marked the end of the Genpei War and the rise of the samurai-led Kamakura shogunate. A major landmark visible from the property is the iconic Kanmon Strait, the narrow waterway separating Honshu and Kyushu, which is always bustling with ship traffic and is beautifully illuminated at night.
