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 north of JR Tokaido Main Line Hikone Station, at the foot of Sawayama mountain. The stone monument marking the site of Ishida Mitsunari's former residence (former lord of Sawayama Castle) stands across from the property. The property, positioned slightly uphill on the west side of the mountain, offers excellent views. The building is a steel-frame shop with residential use. The interior is very clean, and it is characterized by one exceptionally large room. We strongly encourage your consideration of this property. / Remarks: As-is transfer; significant renovation is necessary for residential use (boiler, air conditioning, some Japanese-style toilets, plumbing, flooring, ceiling, walls, tatami mats, etc.); drainage ditch installation work on the north side of the property is necessary; as the property has been vacant for a long time, the seller bears no responsibility for defects; removal or reinstallation of the damaged entrance vestibule is necessary

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.
