Tiare Makiminato Fine View: A Renovated Ocean-View Apartment in Urasoe
This property is a spacious 3LDK apartment located on the 7th floor of the 12-story Tiare Makiminato Fine View building in Urasoe City, Okinawa. Built in January 2016, the residence offers a generous 70.35 sqm (approx. 21.28 tsubo) of living space, featuring an all-Western-style room layout. The apartment is an exceptional find, boasting a sweeping ocean view from the living-dining area that stretches from Cape Zanpa to the Kerama Islands. The 24.51 sqm balcony not only provides a perfect vantage point for this stunning vista but also serves as an ideal spot for viewing fireworks.
Critical agent notes detail important features and upcoming improvements. The property includes an indoor washing machine space and is configured with all Western-style rooms. A renovation is scheduled for completion in mid-October 2025, which will include wall covering replacement, water heater exchange, and a full cleaning. The apartment is a corner unit, designed with barrier-free accessibility, and pets are allowed subject to building regulations. Parking is available for two vehicles at a cost of 9,000 yen per month, arranged in a tandem configuration. The location is highly convenient, with a Lawson convenience store just a 3-minute walk away, a FamilyMart within 6 minutes, and various banks, markets, and postal services within a 14-minute walking radius.
Inside, the apartment features a 16.2-jo (approx. 26.7 sqm) living-dining-kitchen area with a counter kitchen, three-burner gas stove, and water purifier. The three additional Western rooms measure approximately 6.1, 5.9, and 4.5 jo. Amenities include a separate unit bath and toilet, a vanity with independent washbasin, heated toilet seat, shoe storage, and built-in storage in all rooms. The building is equipped with an elevator, parcel delivery boxes, and security features including an auto-lock system and security cameras.
The surrounding Urasoe area offers a blend of residential comfort and Okinawan charm. An interesting local fact is that Urasoe was once the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom before the capital moved to Shuri in Naha. The property is within a reasonable distance of major attractions, with the famous American Village in Chatan—a popular shopping and entertainment complex with a iconic Ferris wheel—being a short drive away, offering a vibrant taste of Okinawa's unique cultural fusion.
