Wood-frame 1987 build on a quiet Yokoze street, 13 minutes from the station; 99 sqm of lived-in simplicity with tatami rooms and bones that read honest. Septic system and kerosene heating, asbestos survey pending.

Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.

From the listing

Recommended features: A Japanese-style single-story home built in Showa 62 (1987) in Yokoze Town, Chichibu District. Approximately 82 tsubo (82.84 sqm) of land. Calm room layout centered on Japanese-style tatami rooms with nostalgic charm. Good access to Yokoze Station and Route 299; balanced location with both nature and convenience. Some minor repairs needed, but ideal for those wanting to renovate with DIY or remodeling to their own preferences. Recommended for those wanting to begin "countryside living that's not too remote." / Asbestos survey not yet conducted. / For renovations, energy efficiency standards (thermal insulation, etc.) apply in principle only to the renovated portions. However, for structural repairs involving columns, beams, and foundations, structural calculations and reinforcement including existing structures may be required. Consult with architects and specialists for details. / This property is now 39 years old; some aging deterioration and specifications based on construction standards at the time are evident. We ask for purchase with full understanding of current condition. The sales price has been set after comprehensive consideration of the above situation and building condition. This property will be delivered in current as-is condition. The seller bears no responsibility for defects./ Repairs needed: Some minor repairs required.
