Full description

Comments: Compact! These days you don't need a big house! No need for a field or parking lot either! Perfect for people like that. / Right in the middle between Takayama city center and Gero hot spring area. Both are 30 min by car! / The kitchen was expanded in 1987 (Showa 62), so it's spacious and easy to use. / For people who find aged character irresistible, this will be absolutely irresistible. / Neighbors are residential and the national highway passes nearby, so you'll want to carefully check the surrounding environment!

Ability to do home vegetable gardening

Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
