Affordable Apartment Living in Naha's Convenient Kobaru District
This rental apartment, unit 303 in the Mishima Apartment building, offers a practical and affordable living solution in the sought-after Kobaru area of Naha City, Okinawa. The property is a 2DK layout with a Japanese-style room measuring 6 tatami mats and a second room of 3 tatami mats, providing a total private area of 25.61 square meters (approximately 7.75 tsubo). The apartment is located on the third floor of a three-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in February 1970. A key feature is its corner unit position, which allows for two-sided sunlight exposure, ensuring the interior is bright and well-lit.
The apartment comes with propane gas for utilities and is equipped for cable television. The agent's notes provide critical financial details: The monthly rent is 32,000 yen with a monthly common area fee (management fee) of 1,000 yen. There is no security deposit (敷金), no key money (礼金), and no guarantee deposit (保証金). The brokerage commission equals one month's rent (plus parking fee, if applicable) plus consumption tax. An initial guarantee entrustment fee is required, starting from 23,870 yen (this varies depending on the guarantee company). Tenants must also enroll in a mandatory "Life Support" service for a monthly fee of 1,100 yen, which is prorated for both the move-in and move-out months. This is a fixed-term rental contract (定期借家契約) for two years. A renewal incurs an administrative fee of 16,500 yen (including tax), and early termination during the contract period will result in a penalty fee. The estimated initial costs will vary slightly depending on the move-in date due to prorated rent.
The location is highly convenient for daily life and commuting. It is approximately a 14-15 minute walk to the Tsubogawa Monorail Station, providing excellent access to Naha's public transport network. The First Kobaru bus stop is only a 2-minute walk away. The area is well-serviced with supermarkets, convenience stores, and hospitals nearby. For recreation, the Mizuumi (Lake) Park is right nearby, offering a pleasant route for walks and relaxation. The property is situated in a quiet area, adding to its residential appeal.
