From the listing

A single-story property built in 1983 standing along the Keikawa River, about 10 minutes west by car from the city center. Interior layout includes 5 Japanese-style rooms and a dining kitchen. Despite being single-story, it receives excellent natural light. From the veranda you can enjoy the seasonal scenery along the Keikawa River, with cherry blossom rows and rapeseed flowers blooming along the riverbank in spring. The property has a spacious parking area with room for approximately 5 cars. Hot water equipment needs to be newly installed. Most household items have been removed; some large furniture remains and will be offered free to interested parties upon consultation. Unwanted items will be removed before handover. Special notes: Part of the land and building is within a landslide hazard zone (Yellow Zone / steep slope area). Repair items: No hot water equipment (bath house uses firewood heating and is unusable; both bath and kitchen have gas piping installed) / Toilet can be converted to flush system with septic tank installation / Poor door/window fit in some areas / Corrugated roof deterioration in storage building / Other equipment and fixtures may require repair based on inspection results.
