Compact and Convenient Apartment in Minokamo, Gifu
This affordable apartment in Minokamo City, Gifu Prefecture, offers a comfortable and practical living space. The unit is a 1K layout with a total private area of 20 sqm (approximately 6.05 tsubo), located on the first floor of a two-story wooden building constructed in February 1996. The monthly rent is a very reasonable 22,000 yen, with an additional 3,000 yen in management fees. A key advantage is the zero deposit and zero key money (礼金無敷金・精算無保証金・償却無), significantly reducing initial moving costs. Other move-in fees include a key replacement cost starting from 16,500 yen and a mandatory cleaning fee upon moving out of 38,500 yen.
The apartment is well-equipped for daily life. The unit features a separate bath and toilet, a shower, a gas stove (ガスコンロ可), ample storage space, and air conditioning in all rooms. It includes an indoor space for a washing machine and comes with a free bicycle parking area. The building is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood (閑静な住宅街) with no building directly in front. A major convenience is a FamilyMart convenience store located just a 3-minute walk away. Please note the current tenant is scheduled to move out on March 19th, and early termination of the contract within the first year incurs a penalty fee.
The Minokamo area provides a blend of suburban tranquility and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the city is known for its production of high-quality Mino washi paper, a traditional craft with a long history in the region. For recreation and nature, residents can easily visit the scenic Nagara River, famous for its traditional cormorant fishing (ukai), which is a designated UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and a major tourist attraction just a short distance away.
