This rental apartment, located in a quiet residential neighborhood of Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, offers a compact and economical living solution. The monthly rent is 19,000 yen, with an additional 3,000 yen monthly common area maintenance fee.

Special notes highlight the quiet residential area and the two-sided natural light.
Additional monthly running costs include a 500 yen town fee, a 1,100 yen trouble support fee, and a 700 yen fire insurance premium equivalent. One-time move-in costs include a 20,000 yen rental guarantee fee, a 22,000 yen key replacement fee, and a 33,000 yen end-of-contract cleaning fee. The rental contract requires a two-year term with no renewal fee and mandates enrollment in a rental guarantee program.
The area, Kanazawa's Naruwa district, is known for its peaceful atmosphere. Kanazawa is a city rich in history and culture, famously home to one of Japan's three great gardens, Kenrokuen.
