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
Land Information: The land fronts on the north-side municipal road for approximately 80m and, combined with adjacent wildland extending to the south, forms a trapezoidal shape. / Repair Needs: Some repairs necessary / Notes: Although considerable time has passed since construction, maintenance has been performed properly; water facilities were renovated in 2018 (Heisei 30) and are ready for immediate use. New AC and hot water equipment will require installation or inspection. Mild deterioration is visible in outer walls and roof due to aging, but no structural issues are apparent in the main building.

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.
