Full description

Affordable size is the charm! / Recommended features: Built with a nostalgic Showa-era feel with warm atmosphere. Close to living facilities and hospitals; convenient location. / Contract notes: Termite treatment completed in Reiwa 7 (2025). / Remarks: The main house dates to the early Showa period and is 80-90 years old. The north-side bedrooms and living rooms were originally 4.5 tatami mats each; eave extensions with gentle-sloped tile roofing expanded them to 6 tatami mats each. The east side also has tile-roof eave extensions for the bathroom and storage. The barn has roof leaks during wind and rain. The main house also shows deterioration from wind and rain damage requiring attention. Road access: snow removal available. The area experiences significant snowfall in winter.

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.
