Happiness K: A Modern Rental Apartment in Naha's Serene Orokucho Neighborhood
This modern rental apartment, located in the quiet residential area of Orokucho in Naha City, Okinawa, offers a comfortable and convenient lifestyle. The property features a 2LDK layout with approximately 51 square meters of living space, providing two separate bedrooms and a combined living, dining, and kitchen area. The apartment is situated on the second floor of a two-story reinforced concrete building constructed in 2009.
The property is well-equipped with modern amenities. Facilities include a gas stove, a counter kitchen, propane gas, a separate bath and toilet, air conditioning, CATV, internet-ready wiring with free internet service, a monitor-equipped intercom, an elevator, and an indoor washing machine space with a gas dryer for worry-free laundry even on rainy days. The building is reinforced concrete (RC construction).
Important agent notes regarding fees and conditions have been translated. The brokerage commission is equivalent to one month's rent (plus parking fee) plus consumption tax. Layout diagrams and photos are for reference, and the actual condition takes precedence. A guarantee entrustment fee applies: 70% of the total rent at the time of contract and a monthly fee of 1% of the total rent. However, the guarantee company and fees may change depending on the contract details. Enrollment in "Life Support" is mandatory at a monthly cost of 1,100 yen, prorated for the months of move-in and move-out. This is a fixed-term lease contract of 2.0 years; a renewal incurs an administrative fee of 22,000 yen (tax included). Early termination during the contract period will incur a penalty. A fee of 3,300 yen (tax included) is charged for issuing a parking space certificate if required. The contract requires one joint guarantor (within three degrees of kinship, under 65 years old, with income). A second parking space is not available.
The Orokucho area is a peaceful residential district within Naha, offering a respite from the busier city center while remaining well-connected. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Naminoue Shrine, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean, is considered the premier Shinto shrine in Okinawa and a guardian of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The apartment is also within a 10-minute walk of Oroku Station on the Okinawa Urban Monorail (Yui Rail), providing easy access to Naha Airport and the vibrant Kokusai-dori (International Street) shopping and dining district.
