Description
This house for sale in Uruma, Okinawa sits on a 1,171 m² freehold plot with 211 m² of living space over two floors. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a landscaped garden.
Maehara is a quiet residential pocket of Uruma, on the east side of Okinawa's main island. The house is family-sized, with an open-plan living area, a traditional Japanese room and a dedicated parking area. By Japanese standards the plot is generous, and the property is in good condition and ready for occupancy from early September 2026.
The House and Its 1,171 m² Plot
The land is freehold, and the garden is landscaped rather than left as plain lawn. There is room for a barbecue table, a vegetable patch or a children's play area. The source mentions the possibility of a pool or extra landscaping later. Any such project would need local permits and a local builder's opinion, so ask before you plan on it.
The living area totals 211 m² on two floors. Parking is the other practical point. The dedicated area takes several cars, and in this part of Okinawa that matters, because almost every household runs on two or more vehicles.
Inside: Open Plan Living and a Japanese Room
The living room, dining area and kitchen run into one another, so whoever is cooking is still part of the conversation. The living room opens directly onto the garden, and large windows bring in plenty of daylight. The kitchen has modern appliances, generous counter space and good storage.
There are three bedrooms. The main bedroom is the largest, and its windows face the garden, so you wake up to greenery rather than a neighbour's wall. The other two bedrooms work for children, guests or a home office. Two bathrooms mean mornings don't turn into a queue.
The traditional Japanese room is the detail most overseas buyers ask about. It can serve as a quiet reading corner, a tea room or a guest room. It gives the house a distinctly local character that a standard Western-style layout would not.
Living in Uruma, Okinawa
Uruma sits on the Katsuren side of the island, away from the busier resort strip on the west coast. The ruins of Katsuren Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are within the city. A road built across the water, the Kaichu Doro, links the mainland to the islands of Henza, Miyagi, Hamahiga and Ikei. That makes a Sunday drive out to the sea easy, with beaches and seafood restaurants along the way.
The climate is subtropical. Summers are hot and humid, winters are mild, and typhoon season in late summer and autumn is a normal part of island life. If you are considering a holiday home in Okinawa, ask about the building's construction and insurance for storm cover. It is also worth asking who would look after the garden while you are away.
Getting There: Airport and Transport
Naha Airport is the gateway, roughly an hour by car from Uruma depending on traffic and the route. Naha has frequent domestic flights from Tokyo and Osaka, plus some regional international routes. Public transport here is limited. The nearest rail is the Yui Rail monorail at Tedako-Uranishi Station, reached by a bus ride of 30 minutes or more. Plan on owning or renting a car. Schools, shops and healthcare are within a reasonable drive, though you should check exact distances for your own routine.
Buying a Second Home in Japan
Foreign nationals can generally buy property in Japan, and freehold land rights give long-term security. Banking, residency and tax steps vary from buyer to buyer. Most overseas purchasers work with a bilingual agent and a judicial scrivener for the registration. A house like this suits a full-time family move, a second home in Japan or a long-stay base for part of the year. It is a considered purchase in the Okinawa real estate market, not a quick flip.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Uruma from Naha Airport?
Expect about an hour by car, depending on traffic and the route you take. The nearest monorail stop, Tedako-Uranishi, is a 30+ minute bus ride from the house, so most people drive.
Is this house suitable as a holiday home?
The size, garden and parking suit family stays well. Since public transport is limited, guests would need a car. Think about who will maintain the garden and the house between visits.
Can I add a pool or extend the house?
The plot is large enough that extra landscaping or a pool is conceivable. Whether it is allowed depends on local planning rules, so check with a local builder or the municipality before committing.
