A Spacious Traditional Japanese House in Inazawa, Aichi
This property presents a rare opportunity to own a classic Japanese home, a "kominka," built in 1958. The single-story house offers a generous 146.14 sqm of living space across a 9DK layout, featuring multiple authentic tatami rooms. The design includes traditional elements such as ranma (transom windows) and tokonoma (alcoves), creating a deeply atmospheric living environment. The property sits on a substantial 571.89 sqm plot, providing a tranquil, green setting with a well-maintained Japanese garden featuring garden stones and plantings that offer a sense of peace and a connection to the changing seasons.
Key equipment and features include two toilets, a bathroom with a window for natural light, electricity, and a water supply. The house has a spacious entrance area with a dirt floor (doma), convenient for handling packages, and an outdoor deck area useful for laundry or small projects. The kitchen area includes a back entrance, creating a separate service route. The property is currently vacant, and the handover timing is negotiable. Please note that the exact construction date is not definitively known.
