Full description
Featured Property Report: This is a residence in Sakae-cho, Himi City. Sakae-cho is located slightly north of the downtown area. Across the street from the property is Bimioe Park, offering beautiful coastal scenery and summer fireworks to fully enjoy Himi's charm. This building was once a massage clinic beloved in the community, and traces of the waiting room and treatment room remain. Thick wooden beams overhead create a warm, old-house character. The layout, shop in front, living quarters in back, makes it attractive as a new business venue while preserving this aesthetic. The first-floor rear dining area has a traditional galley-style kitchen. A hallway (with a central courtyard) separates the private space, allowing client service and shop operations without revealing residential life. The property has not been vacant long, so utilities should be usable in its current state. Here is the second-floor western room and the adjoining traditional room facing the sea. Although there is one traditional room on the first floor, the second-floor room is easier to use as private space. Depending on intended use, a large open-space layout could also work. Some aging is evident, but no urgent repairs are needed. Those seeking a small-scale starting point while preserving the charm of a 70+ year old building are warmly welcome. We look forward to your inquiry.

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.
