Compact and Convenient Apartment in Kirishima, Kagoshima
This affordable rental apartment is located in the quiet residential area of Kokubuhirose 2-chome, Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture. The property is an 8-unit wooden apartment building named 'Corp Tsuneyoshi 105', built in December 1984. It offers a compact 1K layout with a total private floor area of 19.8 square meters (approximately 5.98 tsubo). The unit is an advantageous corner room on the first floor of a two-story building, which means fewer interactions with other residents passing by.
Key equipment and features include a separate bath and toilet, a Japanese-style washlet (bidet toilet seat) which is the standard in Japan, ample storage space, air conditioning, and city gas. The apartment is currently vacant and the move-in date is negotiable. The monthly rent is a very reasonable 18,000 JPY with no administration or common service fees. There is no key money (reikin) required, and the security deposit is just one month's rent. A parking space is available for an additional 2,000 JPY per month. Other costs include a mandatory non-life insurance premium (approximately 8,000 JPY per year) and a requirement to join a rental guarantee scheme (50% to 100% of the monthly rent). The initial contract period is one year.
The location is highly convenient, with the 'Jieitai-mae' bus stop just a 5-minute walk away. The area of Kirishima is famous for its active volcanoes, lush nature, and numerous hot springs (onsen), being part of the Kirishima-Yaku National Park. A major nearby tourist attraction is the Kirishima Jingu, a historic and important Shinto shrine nestled in the forest, known for its connection to the mythological founding of Japan.
