Spacious 1DK Apartment in Koto Ward, Tokyo
This well-maintained apartment, built in June 2002, offers a comfortable living space of 29.22 square meters (approximately 8.83 tsubo) in the desirable Koto Ward of Tokyo. The property features a 1DK layout, providing a distinct separation between the living/dining/kitchen area and the bedroom, a desirable feature for efficient space utilization. The apartment is currently vacant and available for immediate occupancy.
Key facilities and equipment include the ability to install a gas stove, a combined bath and toilet unit, a designated indoor space for a washing machine, flooring throughout, and ample storage space. The rental terms include a security deposit of one month's rent and a key money (reikin) payment also equivalent to one month's rent. A notable point is the renewal fee structure: a renewal processing fee of 0.55 months of the new rent and a separate renewal fee of one month of the new rent. The contract period is for two years, and the property is designated as a Safety Net residence. A guarantee company, Japan Safety (for individuals), is required, with an initial fee of 50% of the monthly rent and an annual renewal guarantee fee of 10,000 yen plus a 300-yen bank transfer charge. Insurance is mandatory, costing 18,000 yen.
The location is highly convenient, situated within a 10-minute walk from both the Toei Oedo Line and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line's "Kiyosumi-Shirakawa" Station. The area of Koto Ward is known for its blend of traditional shitamachi atmosphere and modern development. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kiyosumi Garden is a classic Japanese stroll garden originally developed by a wealthy merchant in the 1870s, famous for its stepping stones across the pond. The closest major landmark is the Tokyo Skytree, easily accessible via the Hanzomon and Asakusa lines, offering panoramic views of the metropolis.
