Affordable and Recently Renovated Apartment in Maizuru, Kyoto
This rental apartment, located in the quiet neighborhood of Kita-Tanabe, Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture, offers a surprisingly affordable living opportunity. The monthly rent is a low 25,000 yen, with no additional management or common service fees, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious individuals. The unit is a 1DK layout with a total floor area of 35 square meters (approximately 10.58 tsubo), featuring a 6-tatami mat Japanese-style room. The apartment is situated on the 2nd floor of a two-story, lightweight steel-framed building constructed in June 1978.
Key equipment and features of the property include a toilet, a 2-burner gas stove, ample storage space, air conditioning for cooling, lighting fixtures, and the advantages of being a corner unit on the top floor. The property uses propane gas. Important special notes from the agent clarify that there is no private bath in the apartment. However, a public bath (sento) is available nearby, and a coin laundry is also conveniently located. The kitchen and interior flooring/doors underwent renovation in November 2023, ensuring a fresh and modern feel. The unit is currently vacant and available for immediate occupancy.
The rental terms include a two-year contract with a renewal fee. A security deposit (shikikin) and key money (reikin) are not required. However, tenants must purchase fire insurance (approximately 18,000 yen for two years) and join a rental guarantee program (initial fee is 50% of the total rent, with a renewal fee of 30% every two years, plus a monthly remittance fee of 330 yen). The property can also be used for office purposes.
The surrounding area of Maizuru in northern Kyoto is rich in history and natural beauty, famously known for its intricate coastline and historic naval port. A major landmark not far from the apartment is the Maizuru Repatriation Memorial Museum, which documents the post-World War II repatriation of Japanese citizens and soldiers. The apartment is a 13-minute walk from Nishi-Maizuru Station on the JR Maizuru Line, providing access to the wider Kyoto region.
