Japanese address

Full description

A house on a high ground in Soni Village with a fine storeroom on the left and a fine shed on the right. From in front of the house, you can see the distant Soni Plateau, blackened from a recent controlled burn, and the grassland in front can be cultivated as farmland to enjoy a lifestyle with agriculture. / Upon entering through the entrance, there is a fine kitchen ready for immediate use. Facing the kitchen is a spacious living-dining room with flooring, and a Japanese-style room is also attached, making it comfortable to relax after meals. / Recommended features of this house: the water-related facilities (bathroom and toilet) are very clean. Interesting about this house is the large storage shed on the opposite side of the living-dining room across from the kitchen, which allows for various DIY projects and creative pursuits. / This property includes farmland in the sales contract, so prior approval from the Agricultural Commission is required. / Toilet note: 1F exterior is Japanese-style with septic tank

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.
