Southern Sky Heights 2B: A Modern Apartment with Park Views in Ishigaki
This rental apartment, located in the Southern Sky Heights building in Ishigaki City's Tonoshiro district, offers a comfortable and convenient lifestyle in Okinawa. The 1K layout unit is situated on the 2nd floor of a modern 5-story elevator building, providing easy access. The apartment features a separate bath and toilet, a highly desirable layout, and includes both air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. A key feature is the inclusion of free Wi-Fi and internet, adding significant value for modern living.
According to the agent's notes, the property uses propane gas. Furthermore, a special remark highlights a major financial benefit: Even though this is an elevator-equipped apartment, the common area maintenance fee (共益費/管理費) is 0 yen. This is a rare find that reduces monthly outgoings.
The private area is 20.73 sqm (approximately 6.27 tsubo). The south-facing rooms offer a full view of a spacious park located right in front of the building, and on a clear day, you can even see the ocean in the distance. The location is exceptionally convenient, within walking distance of a supermarket that includes a Mister Donut. The property is pet-friendly, accepting both dogs and cats. A security company guarantee is required (Zenkoku Hoshoren, with a monthly fee of 1,200 yen plus a fire insurance premium of 790 yen). While the unit itself has no parking, a company-managed parking lot is available approximately 270 meters away for 4,400 yen per month for a kei car. The building itself is a sturdy RC (reinforced concrete) structure built in November 2018.
The area of Tonoshiro in Ishigaki is a central and vibrant part of the city. An interesting fact about Ishigaki is that it is the main transportation and commercial hub for the Yaeyama Islands, a stunning archipelago known for some of Japan's best coral reefs and starry skies. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Kabira Bay on the northwest coast of the island, renowned for its crystal-clear emerald green waters, black pearl cultivation, and picturesque scenery, often featured as a symbol of Okinawa's tropical beauty.
