From the listing

Located at the base of Mt. Yoroi. In front of the house, there is a field where daffodils bloom gloriously in spring. The elevated location on a path through the village offers excellent views of the surroundings. We introduce a property in one of the finest locations in Soni. The main house and separate building connect on the second floor. The first floor of the main house is primarily tatami rooms. Sliding doors and screens are in clean condition. The second floor has three tatami rooms and two Western-style rooms. Additionally, separated by a gallery, the separate building also has two tatami rooms. There are so many rooms that even a residence would feel underutilized. The water fixtures are as follows. The bathroom and washbasin have been renovated. However, the toilet remains a septic (pumped) system. If you seek comfort, it would be advisable to convert the toilet to a water-flushing system or install a septic tank. The first floor of the separate building was used as a farm work space, and family gatherings and BBQs were held there. Beyond farming, it could be used as a workshop, studio, or shop-like space. The main house also has garages and could be used for different purposes than the separate building's first floor. There is a pizza oven at the entrance of the property. "There is some firewood remaining, so please feel free to use it," according to the owner.
