Doer Shuri: A Modern Apartment in the Historic Heart of Okinawa
Located in the historic Shuri district of Naha City, Okinawa, Doer Shuri (Doeru Shuri) presents a well-equipped and conveniently located rental apartment. This 1LDK unit offers approximately 50 square meters of living space on the first floor of a three-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in 2003. The monthly rent is 83,000 yen, with a common area maintenance fee of 2,000 yen and a sanitation fee of 1,000 yen. A key feature is the no-guarantor requirement, simplifying the application process for tenants.
The property comes with a comprehensive set of facilities. According to the agent's notes, the equipment includes city gas, a system kitchen, separate bath and toilet, a unit bath, a shampoo washbasin vanity, a bathtub, an independent washbasin, a closet, a getabako (shoe storage), a monitor-equipped intercom, and an indoor washing machine space. Special remarks from the agent state: "We have a wide variety of properties available. We will search for a property that meets your wishes. Please feel free to visit our store or contact us." However, the agent explicitly notes that pets are not permitted, with the remark: "Pet conditions: We're sorry."
The apartment benefits from a south-facing primary exposure for good natural light. It includes one parking space at an additional 6,600 yen per month, with the possibility of negotiating a second space on a first-come, first-served basis. The location is highly accessible, being just a 9-minute walk from Gibo Station and a 3-minute walk from the Kannondo-mae bus stop. The area is served by nearby supermarkets like San-A V21 and Oona Shokuhinkan, and convenience stores.
The Shuri area is rich in history and culture, being the former royal capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. An interesting fact is that the distinctive red-tiled roofs seen on many traditional buildings in Shuri are a symbol of Ryukyuan architecture and status. The closest major landmark is the magnificent Shuri Castle (Shurijo), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a reconstructed symbol of Okinawa's unique cultural heritage, located just a short distance from the property.
