Spacious One-Room Apartment in a Quiet, Elevated Kagoshima Neighborhood
This one-room apartment offers a peaceful living environment in a convenient location, situated on a hilltop slightly removed from the hustle and bustle. The property is just an 8-minute walk from JR Minami-Kagoshima Station, making it ideal for commuting and daily errands. The unit itself provides a generous 13.5-tatami mat (approximately 26.5 sqm) living space, fully equipped with a kitchen, separate toilet and bath, and ample storage.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with a toilet, a separate bath and toilet, storage space, and is a corner unit. Utilities include propane gas and a water heater. On-site facilities include a bicycle parking area and a motorcycle parking space. Special notes indicate the property is currently vacant and ready for immediate occupancy. The initial costs include a key replacement fee starting from 13,200 yen. The rental agreement is for a 2-year term with no renewal fee, and it requires the tenant to join a rental guarantee program (first-time plan with a joint guarantor covering 50% of the total rent and fees). The building is a 6-unit, 2-story wooden structure built in January 1972.
The surrounding area of Minami-Shinmachi in Kagoshima City offers a blend of residential calm and urban accessibility. An interesting local fact is that Kagoshima is famously dominated by the active volcano Sakurajima, which frequently dusts the city with light ash, a unique aspect of daily life here. The closest major landmark is the historic Sengan-en Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage site and former villa of the Shimazu clan, offering stunning views of Sakurajima across the bay.
