Full description
A 2-storey house situated uphill from the prefectural road. The water facilities, kitchen and living area underwent barrier-free renovation approximately 20 years ago. In recent years, double-paned windows were installed as part of ongoing maintenance. The property shows signs of careful, thoughtful stewardship. Appliances such as refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine may be available for use by agreement. The 2nd floor comprises two 6-tatami rooms connected in a row, with a tokonoma alcove, decorative shelf, and storage spanning both rooms, creating an impression of one large space. The property's greatest feature is the outstanding view from this vantage point. Despite excellent visibility, the terrain shields it from strong typhoon winds. Water facilities are clean and in working condition. The Tara-ji district shares water recognized in the Heisei Famous Water Hundred Selections, managed communally by the hamlet. The rear yard is where the mountain begins, ideal for vegetable gardening. The vehicle garage is located along the prefectural road, with parking for 2 cars. The creek runs just behind the parking area.
