From the listing

Located in the center of a hamlet with excellent leisure facilities within 10 minutes by car, including the sea, hot springs, golf courses, and campgrounds. The first-floor tatami room comprises three 8-mat rooms connected together, which can be converted into a spacious living area through renovation. The kitchen is spacious, suitable for multi-generational living. Water facilities (including bath and toilet) require renovation due to age. A tsubo-niwa courtyard garden reminiscent of an upscale restaurant sits below the stairs. The property is situated slightly inland from the prefectural road. It is located near the coast, approximately 15 minutes from the shoreline. Remarks: as-is transfer desired; seller will dispose of household items; hot water heater usability unknown; separate garage-workshop building; large refrigerator in workshop (usability unknown); sewer line runs in front road and can be connected; floor plan differs from current condition, current condition takes priority; electrical, gas, water, toilet, and bath facilities may require repairs.
