Pure City Kogane: A Well-Appointed Studio Apartment in Kitakyushu
This studio apartment, located in the Pure City Kogane building in Kitakyushu's Kokurakita Ward, presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking a compact and convenient living space. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate occupancy, making it an ideal candidate for a workspace, second home, or primary residence. The asking price has been recently adjusted to 1.9 million yen, reflecting an attractive value proposition.
The apartment is equipped with city gas, air conditioning for cooling and heating, a hot water supply system, and a balcony. The building itself offers the convenience of an elevator, a bicycle parking area, and an on-site garbage disposal area. Key special features of this unit include excellent sunlight exposure, a corner room layout for added privacy and light, and an exterior finished with tiling.
As noted by the agent, the unit is currently vacant. Those searching for a vacant room for purposes such as a workspace or second house are encouraged to inquire. For any other questions or unclear points, please feel free to ask.
The property is situated in the Kogane 2-chome area, a short 8-minute walk from the Kawaraguchi-Mihagino Station on the Kitakyushu High-Speed Railway. This provides excellent access to the wider Kitakyushu metropolitan area. The building is a reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in April 1985, standing 6 stories tall with this unit located on the 3rd floor. The monthly management fee is 8,000 yen with a 1,000 yen reserve fund. The unit has a wall-core area of 16.53 sqm (approximately 5 tsubo) with a 1.98 sqm northwest-facing balcony. The building complex contains 29 units in total and is under full entrusted management.
The surrounding area of Kokurakita Ward is rich in history and culture. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kokura Castle, originally built in 1602, was famously *not* bombed during World War II because cloud cover obscured it on the day of the planned air raid, leading to the atomic bomb being diverted to Nagasaki instead. Today, the reconstructed castle and its beautiful gardens serve as a major tourist attraction and a central park for the city.
