Sunny Partner Shiroma: A Bright and Convenient Apartment in Urasoe
This rental apartment, Sunny Partner Shiroma, offers a comfortable and practical living space in the well-connected Shiroma district of Urasoe City, Okinawa. The unit is a 1R layout with a total private area of approximately 15.5 square meters, located on the 4th floor of a 5-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in 1986. The property features multiple windows, ensuring excellent natural light and ventilation for a pleasant indoor atmosphere.
Key equipment and facilities provided include propane gas, air conditioning, a closet, and a shoe storage cabinet (getabako). The monthly rent is 33,000 JPY, with an additional common area maintenance fee of 2,000 JPY. Initial costs are structured with no security deposit (敷金) or key money (礼金). However, there is a renewal fee of 22,000 JPY (equivalent to one month's rent) applicable at the end of the standard two-year contract term. Special notes from the agent include the availability of a 24-hour reception service for a monthly fee of 1,000 JPY (tax excluded). It is also important to note that terminating the contract within the first two years incurs a penalty equivalent to one month's rent.
The location is highly convenient, with the Urasoe Shopping Center bus stop just a 3-minute walk away, providing easy access to shopping and public transport along Route 58. The area is part of Urasoe City, a central municipality on Okinawa Island known for its blend of residential comfort and urban amenities. An interesting local fact is that Urasoe was once the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom's government before it moved to Shuri. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Shuri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and former palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, located a short drive away in neighboring Naha City.
