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
Vacant house in rural southern Hikone, Shimoshirakawa-cho. Originally used for business, it has an earthen-floor space that can be used as a shop or warehouse. Most importantly, all personal belongings have been neatly cleaned up, making it immediately usable. Please come for a viewing. / Remarks: No parking. No left-behind items. Sold as-is. The residential section has an attached retail shop and kitchen area, creating a large earthen-floor space. It can also be developed for business use. The earthen-floor area has underground spring-water equipment. Nearby are a self-governing association parking lot for visitors and a small park. A shrine is adjacent across the road.

Area and hazard data
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.
