Compact and Affordable Apartment in Central Kochi City

This rental apartment offers a compact and economical living solution in the heart of Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. The property is a 1K layout with a total private floor area of 18 square meters (approximately 5.44 tsubo), comprising a 6-tatami mat Western-style room and a 2-tatami mat kitchen area. The building is a 4-story steel structure, with this unit located on the second floor.

Key financial terms make this an accessible option: the monthly rent is a low 20,000 yen with no additional management or common service fees. There is no key money (reikin) and no security deposit (shikikin). The contract period is 2 years with no renewal fee. However, tenants are required to join a rental guarantee scheme with an initial cost of 24,800 yen and purchase a small short-term insurance policy (e.g., Japan Small Amount & Short Term Insurance) for approximately 15,000 yen for a 2-year term. Please note that insurance details may change depending on the tenant or conditions.

Translated agent notes on equipment and features include: Bathroom and toilet are separate, there is storage space, air conditioning, hot water supply, and a bicycle parking area is available. A special note states that the floor plan diagram prioritizes the actual condition of the property.

The location is highly convenient, with multiple train stations within walking distance: Nyumyo Station on the Dosan Line is a 7-minute walk, Ohashidori Station is 11 minutes, and Kochijo-mae Station is 13 minutes. The immediate area provides essential services, but for a major landmark, residents are just a short distance from the historic Kochi Castle, one of Japan's few original castles that has survived since the Edo period without being destroyed by war, fire, or earthquake, offering a direct link to the region's samurai history.
