Buy 3LDK Flat in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, Japan

The Lion's Mansion Minami-Fujisawa 604 unit is a pet-friendly apartment that is currently vacant, so it can be purchased for use as your own residential property, a vacation condo, or we can help you find a tenant so that you can rent it out as an investment property for the rental income. 

This flat has a 3LDK (3-bedroom) layout with 60.41 m² of floor space, and two balconies: one facing south and and one facing west with a total amount of 11.74 m² of space. The apartment is located on the 6th floor of an 11-story building with 34 units in total.

This pet-friendly apartment building has a steel and reinforced concrete structure and was built in 1997. 

The building is located in the coastal city of Fujisawa in Kanagawa Prefecture, and is within a 9-minute walk of Fujisawa Station on the JR Tokaido Line. You can see the location on Google Maps HERE.

Access to various designations from Fujisawa Station are as follows:
  • Yokohama Station: 20 minutes
  • Kawasaki Station: 37 minutes
  • Tokyo Station: 46 minutes
  • Enoshima Station: 9 minutes
  • Kamakura Station: 33 minutes
  • Shonan Beach Park: 10 minutes by train or 15 minutes by bicycle
Land rights for the apartment are freehold.

Features and amenities include a bathwater reheating function, laundry drying heater in the bathroom, bidet, built-in 3-burner range stovetop, system kitchen, fish grill, closets in each bedroom, and an indoor space for the washing machine.

Refurbishing and renewal of the interior and the plumbing was completed in August 2021. So, although the building itself is 24 years old, the interior of this unit is brand new with the latest modern furnishings.

The building is connected to city gas, is pet-friendly, has an auto-lock lobby, parcel delivery boxes, and an elevator. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis at a cost of ¥24,000 a month.

The monthly common area maintenance (CAM) fee is ¥11,780 and the monthly fee for the reserve fund for long-term repair plan is ¥12,140. The total monthly running cost is ¥23,920.

The listed price is ¥36,490,000. Additional fees include the brokerage fee (¥1,154,700), brokerage fee tax (¥115,470),  stamp tax (¥10,000), real estate registration tax (approximately 2% of asset value*), fixed asset tax (1.4% of total asset value*), and city planning tax (0.3% of total asset value*) for an approximate total cost of ¥38,679,400 to ¥39,044,300.

I think this flat would be a good fit for someone working in the city, but would prefer having easy access by train or bicycle to Enoshima and nearby beaches. Kamakura is only 33 minutes away on the quaint Enoden Line.

The building is pet-friendly and located within walking distance of Shinbayashi Park where many folks like to take their dogs for walks.

One major drawback about central Fujisawa is the heavy traffic found on weekends. When I lived in Fujisawa years ago, we would bike to the local department store or supermarket if we did any shopping on weekends. Over the past 20 years, the city has made some effort to establish more bicycle lanes making the city more accessible for the locals who want to avoid the weekend traffic jams of tourists heading for the beaches.
