1860s wood house in Nara

From the listing

A house located beyond a small path, accessed by parking and climbing a slope. Though morning sunlight is blocked by an eastward-facing mountain, afternoon to evening sunlight is favorable. A small front garden overlooks a stream with potential for kitchen gardening. The earthen-floored entrance is well-proportioned. The left wall is covered in soot with what appears to be a firebox. Following the firebox leads to a remaining traditional goemonburo (wood-fired bath). The drain is rusted and cannot be used in its current state, but rather than demolishing it, repurposing it could be interesting. The kitchen at the rear entrance is somewhat dark due to the adjacent mountain, though mountain maintenance might improve this. The building's rear is half-covered with brush and undergrowth. The toilet remains a traditional Japanese-style squat toilet with septic tank system. The first floor still has many left-behind items, which will be organized after registering with the vacancy bank. The tatami mats are severely worn and will need replacement. In contrast, the second floor is completely empty. Even when occupied, the second floor was rarely used, no tatami mats were laid, and windows are just wooden storm shutters without modern sashes. There is room for DIY work such as wall painting and floor installation. Rather than a move-in-ready property, if you like the location and surrounding environment, this could become your own home with gradual improvements.
