From the listing
The vacant house was carefully renovated and operated as a limited-to-one-group-per-day 'hidden gem traditional farmhouse' minshuku. The bath, toilet, water heater, and other facilities were upgraded with the latest equipment. The rooms are lined with tatami mats made from Kumamoto-region rush grass, and attention was paid to fixtures like sliding doors. A dwelling where rural charm and modern comfort coexist. Additionally, when you ascend the mezzanine, the second floor has two small rooms, creating a somewhat secret-base-like space./ The sea is very close, making it an ideal 'recreational base' for those who enjoy fishing or desire a quiet lifestyle. Furthermore, for those considering relocation, Minami-Satsuma City offers generous support for migrants through the 'Home Purchase Subsidy', providing powerful backing. Migrants can receive up to 1.5 yen million (1 yen million for relocation + 500,000 yen area surcharge). With an effective burden of 1.1 yen million, this is a very favorable condition for substantially reducing relocation startup costs. The road is narrow, so a light vehicle is ideal, but parking can be arranged by borrowing from nearby residents./ Current status: Operating as a minshuku
