The property is located in Chibana 4-chome, Okinawa City, Okinawa Prefecture. The area is well-connected, with the Third Gate bus stop approximately a 10-minute walk away. Chibana is a part of Okinawa City, which is a major urban center in central Okinawa, known for its mix of local culture and American influences due to the nearby military bases. An interesting historical fact about the area is that the former Chibana Airfield, used during the Battle of Okinawa, is now largely redeveloped into residential and commercial zones. The closest major tourist attraction is the Okinawa Zoo & Museum (Okinawa Kodomo no Kuni), a popular family destination featuring a zoo, museum, and botanical gardens, located just a few kilometers away.
