Pet-Friendly Traditional House in Asago City with Ample Space
This unique property is a wooden two-story house built in 1911 (Meiji 44), offering a rare opportunity to rent a spacious traditional home in the Wadayamacho Oka area of Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture. The property is listed for rent at 50,000 yen per month with a 50,000 yen security deposit. It features a total floor area of 196 square meters on a generous 292-square-meter plot of land, complete with a garden and garage.
The property's facilities include an all-electric system, a public water supply, and a flush toilet connected to a septic tank. Important agent notes provide detailed insights: The house is all-electric. There are two warehouses/garages on the premises, but one is currently in use by the owner and is unavailable for tenant use (it houses a rice refrigerator, and a monthly 500 yen electricity fee for this will be deducted from the rent). The first-floor area with cedar plank flooring was originally a Japanese-style room that was remodeled due to termite damage. On a slightly elevated section of the land, there is agricultural land suitable for a home vegetable garden, though it is currently fallow. Pets are allowed for indoor keeping (1-2 dogs or cats). The second-floor wooden-floored area contains some remaining items and is excluded from the rental usage area. The passageways to the toilet, bath, and washbasin are adjacent to a dirt-floor area.
The area around Asago City is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Ikuno Silver Mine was one of Japan's most important silver producers during the Edo period and is now a fascinating historical site. The closest major landmark is the stunning Takeda Castle Ruins, often referred to as the "Castle in the Sky" for the spectacular sea of clouds that sometimes surrounds it, offering breathtaking views and a deep connection to Japan's samurai past.
