About this home
From the listing Feature Property Report: We are introducing a used residential home in Kubo, Himi City. If you've been looking at our Vacant Home Information Bank, you may have already noticed that homes in Himi often have close to 10 rooms, which is not uncommon. When we actually show homes to visitors, we often hear "it's too big…" This property is recommended for those thinking they'd prefer something a bit more compact. Let's take a look at the home. The kitchen is compact in the traditional style. The living room may be more practical to use, but for winter heating, a smaller space can be beneficial. A connecting room next to the dining area and rooms arranged in an L-shape. Since Himi City also offers renovation subsidies, connecting the kitchen and the front room to create a living area is a practical option. This property has three rooms in total. For singles or couples, this number of rooms offers plenty of comfort and is recommended. The natural lighting from the windows is sufficient and reflects off the flooring, creating a very warm atmosphere. The wide veranda is perfect for placing a small desk and chair to relax. The water areas are clean, so there is nothing that particularly needs to be done at purchase. The garage is spacious enough for one car, but there is also a parking space in front of the entrance, so you can park up to 2 cars total. In a downtown area, it's rare to find a property where you can park multiple cars within the lot, so this is also attractive. We look forward to hearing from you.

Thinking of renting it out?
What the published rules and maps say about letting this home to short-stay guests, line by line, with sources. This is not a verdict or advice. The town, the bank and the licensing office have the final word.
In Japan, home-sharing (minpaku) under the national home-sharing law is capped at 180 nights a year. A ryokan or inn licence is a separate route with its own building and zoning rules.
-
Local home-sharing ordinance
No home-sharing ordinance for Toyama Prefecture appears in the Japan Tourism Agency list of 1 April 2021.
That is not a statement that home-sharing is allowed here: the list may be out of date, and the national rules still apply.
