This rental apartment offers a compact yet functional living space in the peaceful residential area of Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture. The property is a 1DK layout with a total floor area of 27 sqm (approximately 8.16 tsubo), located on the 2nd floor of a 5-story steel-framed building constructed in April 1986. The monthly rent is 40,000 yen, with a monthly common area fee of 4,000 yen. Key money is required for one month's rent, while the security deposit is waived.

Essential equipment and features include a combined bath and toilet unit, a gas cooktop, a closet, air conditioning, a space for a washing machine, an auto-lock building entrance, and an elevator. The building is managed by a property management company. Special notes from the agent indicate that keeping pets is negotiable, with small dogs and cats permitted, though an additional one month's rent as key money is required in such cases. Utility costs for water are paid separately by the tenant. Joining a guarantee company is mandatory. The lease contract is for a standard 2-year term with a renewal fee waived. Early termination penalties apply: within the first year, a penalty of two months' rent is required, and within two years, one month's rent. Additional move-in costs include a house cleaning fee of 20,000 yen. A fire insurance policy costing 20,000 yen for two years is also required, though details may vary depending on the tenant and conditions.
The apartment is conveniently located just a 7-minute walk from Makiochi Station on the Hankyu Mino Line, providing easy access to central Osaka. The surrounding area of Minoh is renowned for its natural beauty, being part of the Meiji no Mori Minoh Quasi-National Park. A short trip from the station leads visitors to the famous Minoh Park, a scenic spot particularly stunning in autumn when the maple trees turn vibrant red and yellow, and home to the iconic Minoh Waterfall, a popular destination for hiking and nature walks.
