Spacious Traditional Home on a Generous Plot in Kasai City
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional Japanese house set on a substantial 479.19 square meter plot in the quiet residential area of Toyokura-cho, Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture. Built in January 1969, the 57-year-old wooden structure offers a total floor area of 123.89 square meters across two stories. The home is situated on a corner lot and faces south, ensuring excellent sunlight. The listing indicates the property is currently vacant, and the seller is open to negotiation regarding the sale of the land only, making it a versatile option for those considering a complete rebuild.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with a toilet, bath, electricity, water supply, sewerage system, a septic tank (汲取), and propane gas. Additional features include a system kitchen, two toilets, a bath with a reheating function, a monitor-equipped intercom, and parking for two or more vehicles. The property is also noted as being suitable for multi-generational living. A significant bonus is a separate warehouse (70.83 square meters, steel frame, flat roof, two stories) built in 1974, providing ample storage or workshop space.
The home is located in a peaceful neighborhood within Hyogo Prefecture. Kasai City is part of the Harima region, known for its historical connections and serene landscapes. An interesting local fact is that the area is home to the famous "Himeji Castle," a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most pristine and iconic feudal castles, located approximately a 30-minute drive away. The property offers a tranquil lifestyle while remaining within reach of major cultural landmarks.
