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

Appeal point: Furnishings have been removed. Repairs are necessary. It might be a good property for DIY work. / Repair needs: Major repairs are necessary, roof, parts of exterior walls, boiler, and more. / Remarks: Expanded in Showa 39 (1964) and Showa 49 (1974). Parking available in the space behind the house formerly used as a storage shed. Since it is not connected to public sewage, sewer connection work is required (work cost 1 yen million or more). The building floors show indentations throughout. Partial replacement of corrugated metal exterior walls, roof inspection and repairs, and plumbing inspection and repairs are required. (Shio Elementary School will relocate as of April 2025.)
