Compact and Convenient Rental Apartment in Fukui City
This rental apartment, located in the Hōei 3-chōme district of Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, offers a compact and affordable living solution. The unit is a one-room layout with a total private area of 16.84 sqm (approximately 5.09 tsubo) and is situated on the 4th floor of a 4-story steel-framed building constructed in February 1988. The monthly rent is 24,000 yen with an additional 2,000 yen monthly management fee. A significant advantage for renters is the zero deposit and zero key money requirement, making initial moving costs very manageable. The property is also pet-friendly, subject to consultation, and allows for two-person occupancy, room sharing, and even use as a home office or SOHO.
Key equipment and features translated from the agent notes include a warm-water washlet toilet, a combined bath and toilet room, an IH cooking heater, storage space, a shoe box, air conditioning, an indoor washing machine space, lighting fixtures, a monitor-equipped intercom, and city gas. The unit is on the top floor and has an east-facing balcony. Special notes indicate that if a pet is kept, an additional key money (equivalent to one month's rent or more) will be required. An optional 24-hour support service is available for 16,500 yen per two years. Water charges are billed based on actual usage. Importantly, there is a repair item pending completion; until the work is finished, the monthly rent will be 20,000 yen. After the repairs are completed, the rent will return to the listed 24,000 yen per month.
The area around Fukui City is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Fukui Prefecture is known as the "Dinosaur Kingdom" of Japan, boasting some of the country's most significant fossil discoveries. The closest major landmark is the historic Fukui Castle ruins, a short distance away, which now serve as a peaceful park with reconstructed gates and moats, offering a glimpse into the region's samurai past.
