Full description

Introduction: Located near Gotsu Honmachi Iraka (roof-tile) Street, a 55-year-old single-story property. Gotsu Honmachi is located about 2 km from the mouth of the Kando River (Class 1 river). Historically, it prospered as a key hub for river transport on the Kando River and maritime commerce on the Japan Sea. The historic streetscape lined with registered tangible cultural properties (like the former Gotsu post office and former town hall) is beloved as a landmark named 'Iraka Street' by locals and visitors. The interior comprises two Japanese-style rooms and a kitchen in a compact layout. Recommended for single individuals seeking a detached house. Usable furnishings are available, including lighting, low table, and bed. Will be transferred free of charge to interested parties. The water heater has been removed and will need to be newly installed. No parking on site. Paid parking is available nearby; please consult at the viewing if interested.
