With a monthly rent of just 20,000 yen and no key money (reikin) or security deposit (shikikin), the initial financial burden is significantly reduced.

The apartment features a balcony on the east-facing side, providing natural light. Key equipment includes an air conditioner, shower, space for a washing machine, and a gas stove. It is a corner unit on the top floor. Special notes from the agent indicate that cancellation within the first year of the contract incurs a penalty fee. A parking space is available for 3,000 yen per month, but it is limited to light vehicles (kei cars). The rental agreement requires a two-year term with no renewal fee, mandatory insurance (approximately 19,000 yen for two years), and enrollment in a rent guarantee program (Orico Fore Rent Insure). Credit card payment for rent is accepted.
