Location
This marks an approximate area, not the exact building. The circle is a rough radius from the listing's published address, so you can see the neighbourhood without us guessing at a precise spot.
Full description
The previous owner's strong commitment to home construction resulted in a comfortable living space with high ceilings and a traditional hearth (irori) in the Japanese-style rooms. Although the narrow road limits parking to small vehicles, the neighbors are kind; the house is old but water facilities and bathrooms have been renovated, and annual maintenance during visits keeps it in good condition, highly recommended for living. The shed and field behind the house are spacious, providing sufficient room to grow your own crops. The field paths are well-maintained through regular grass cutting and are praised by neighbors. Recommendation: A complete property with house, storage shed, and field all included.

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
