Japanese address

Full description

Recommended Points: The main house and barn are old, dating from the Meiji and Taisho eras, with over 100 years of history, creating a retro atmosphere that evokes the passage of time. [VR viewing available] / Other Remarks: There are three access routes to the property, but they have some difficulties. Two of them have narrow road widths. The other route involves a significant detour from Hamada and enters from the east side via an access road about 2.5m wide with a slope, which could be challenging during heavy snow in winter.
