Japanese address

Full description

Property Overview: Renovated and expanded in 1998 (Heisei 10); the interior is relatively well-maintained. The original section has sagging in part of the first-floor Japanese room, and the second floor requires repairs as it has been unused for an extended period. The property includes an outbuilding with an electric-shutter garage and storage shed, and there is a shrine (torii gate, small shrine, and stone monument) on the grounds. / Surroundings: Surrounded by rural landscape while conveniently located near supermarkets, hospitals, banks and other amenities. / Remarks: Installing a septic tank is necessary to use the municipal sewage system (subsidies available). Rain damage is visible; early repainting is recommended. The property is located in an earthwork-construction regulation zone. Renovations requiring building permits will require a survey report (not necessary for rebuilds). Furniture and personal belongings removal is negotiable.
