Location
This marks an approximate area, not the exact building. The circle is a rough radius from the listing's published address, so you can see the neighbourhood without us guessing at a precise spot.
Full description
This property is located in Miyata-cho in the northern part of Hikone City. Miyata-cho is a former village situated in a natural setting, positioned west of Sawayama and east of Toriiomoto-cho, within the Toriiomoto school district. This is a wonderful Meiji-era folk house, and we hope it will be carefully cherished by those who use it. The property has an attractive character that would interest anyone seeking a folk house over 100 years old.

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.
