Historic Meiji Era Home in Akabekko Town with Garden Plot
In the heart of Yanaizu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, stands a remarkable traditional Japanese home dating back to 1868, the first year of the Meiji period. This historic property, identifiable by its distinctive red roof, is situated in the Iiya community on the western bank of the Tadami River.
The property's rich history parallels that of the Aizu White Tiger Corps during the Boshin War. While the 155-year-old structure requires substantial renovation, its potential is undeniable. The property will soon be reconfigured to include two buildings - the main house and a storehouse - due to road expansion work.
The spacious grounds enjoy excellent sun exposure, making it ideal for home gardening. Its accessible location presents interesting commercial possibilities, such as conversion into a café or restaurant. The property is located in Yanaizu Town, famous as the birthplace of Akabeko - the iconic red cow folk toy of the Aizu region.
