Heisei Apartments: A Quiet Coastal Apartment in Yomitan Village
This rental apartment, located in the peaceful coastal area of Naminoue in Yomitan Village, Okinawa, offers a comfortable 2DK layout with approximately 42 square meters of living space. Situated on the second floor of a three-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in 1992, the unit comes with air conditioning and is within walking distance of supermarkets for convenient shopping. The property features one free parking space, with the possibility of negotiating a second spot.
The monthly rent is 50,000 yen, with an additional 2,000 yen common area maintenance fee. Initial costs include a security deposit equivalent to two months' rent, no key money, and various other fees. The contract is a fixed-term lease for two years. Critical agent notes have been translated: The brokerage commission is one month's rent (plus parking fee) plus consumption tax. The estimated contract amount may vary slightly due to daily prorated rent depending on the move-in date. If the floor plan or interior photos differ from the actual condition, the actual condition takes precedence. Cancellation within less than one year incurs a penalty of one month's rent. Enrollment in Life Support is mandatory (1,100 yen per month, prorated for both move-in and move-out months). If a parking space certificate is issued, a 3,300 yen (tax included) administrative fee applies. For the two-year fixed-term lease contract, a 16,500 yen (tax included) administrative fee is charged upon renewal. There is a guarantee company usage fee (monthly charge) of 1,200 yen. The initial guarantee commission for the guarantee company (Zenporen) is 50% of the total rent. Depending on the contract details, the guarantee company and commission fee may change.
The Naminoue area of Yomitan is known for its serene atmosphere and proximity to the ocean. An interesting local fact is that Yomitan Village is famous for its rich pottery tradition, particularly Tsuboya-yaki ware, which has been produced in the region for centuries. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Emerald Beach, part of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium complex in nearby Motobu, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and marine life exhibits.
