Japanese address

Full description

The entrance to the building is narrow, so parking at the entrance is not possible; a nearby parking lot needs to be rented. / A view of the 1st-floor Japanese-style room. While some areas require repairs, the interior is generally well-organized. / A kitchen with under-floor storage. The structure is traditional, but electricity, gas, and water can be used without problems. / Remarks: Handed over in current condition; seller will dispose of personal effects; water damage from rain leaking into the 1st-floor Japanese-style room ceiling (not yet repaired; repair costs borne by buyer); although the lot frontage is less than 2m, reconstruction is possible with a Building Standards Law Article 43 permit application; however, the building footprint may need to be smaller than the current structure. / Surrounding information: Close to a major street; dense residential neighborhood.

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.
