Full description
Yamato Town in Kumamoto Prefecture is located at the center of Kyushu, known as the 'navel of Kyushu.' At an elevation of 300m to 900m in this pure cool-zone area, conditions are ideal for growing delicious vegetables: cool climate with significant daily temperature variation, clear water from the mountains, and mineral-rich soil containing volcanic ash from Mount Aso.

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.
