State-of-the-Art & Naturally Rich: A Superb Akiya in Yamaguchi's Shunan City
This exceptional property in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is a remarkably well-maintained two-story house built 58 years ago. It features a charming exterior with white walls and an orange-red roof. A key convenience is the parking space directly in front of the entrance, allowing for easy unloading. The property also includes an earthen-floor garage (土間ガレージ), which, while the entrance is too narrow for a car, is perfect for storing motorcycles, bicycles, tires, or outdoor gear.
The interior is in excellent condition with minimal leftover items. The stylish blue walls create a pleasant atmosphere, complemented by brick-patterned wallpaper in a former closet area as an accent. The kitchen features tile-patterned wallpaper in a matching blue. The bathroom is notably attractive with brick tiling and a unique blue bathtub. A built-in step provides a convenient seat for washing. The floor tiles feature a hexagonal, honeycomb-like design in trendy colors. The shower and kitchen are connected to the sewer system and are fully functional. However, the bathtub is currently not connected to the sewer and cannot drain; repairs would be needed to use it. The toilet is also clean and stylish. The hallway features an attractive alternating floorboard pattern, and the lighting is good throughout.
The layout is a practical 4K. The upstairs room, located above the earthen-floor garage, is also clean and free of leftover items. The previous owner lived here with their mother as a comfortable place to spend time together near a care facility, and this thoughtful, caring touch is felt throughout the home. The property is in a highly convenient location: the Chugoku Expressway's Kano Interchange is a 5-minute drive away, and within a 10-minute walk are a hospital, elementary and junior high schools, a library, and a supermarket.
The surrounding area of Shunan City in southeastern Yamaguchi is rich in nature, featuring the Chugoku Mountains and the Seto Inland Sea, along with a large coastal industrial complex famous nationwide for its factory nightscape views. The Kano-ue area where the property is located offers day-trip access to the naturally flowing hot spring "Ishifune Onsen" and "Seseragi·Toyoshikari Park," which features auto-camping and agricultural experiences. Interestingly, it is also the only place on Japan's main island of Honshu where the endangered Hooded Crane migrates. The closest major landmark is the spectacular Shunan Industrial Complex, a premier destination for viewing Japan's iconic factory nightscapes.
