Full description

Ocean and hot spring within walking distance. Reassuring structure and warmth. A fishing port town with the scent of the sea, Hirota Town. 20 minutes from the city center. Within walking distance you can soak in a hot spring while viewing the sea at Kurosaki Senkyō Onsen, and there is a fishing harbor so you can enjoy a life surrounded by the ocean! The interior has warm wood finishes, and the heavy exterior paired with the warm interior creates a sense of reassurance. The south-facing location means the 1st-floor Japanese room gets excellent sunlight! The Western room features large windows with a view, offering good views and mental/physical refreshment. The view from the balcony is expansive countryside landscape. With little traffic and only natural sounds, you can relax leisurely on the balcony. There is a spacious garden beside the house, allowing you to start a vegetable garden or pursue hobbies freely, a truly attractive feature! Just a short distance away, you can see the vast ocean spreading out in Hirota Town. Such a nearby ocean view is rare. You can fish from the breakwater, sit on the sandy beach and read a book, and experience great nature! / Remarks: No notable damage, personal property included (seller will arrange disposal of unused items), shared costs for community association, fire prevention association, and television shared antenna, television and NTT poles on property, neighboring boundary encroachments (bamboo and trees)
