Historic Ichiba-ya Residence in Akaiwa City
In the tranquil district of Shuso, Akaiwa City, stands a remarkable traditional Japanese home dating back to 1897. This spacious two-story wooden structure offers an impressive 158.67 square meters of living space, featuring a unique 12-room layout that preserves the architectural character of the Meiji period.
The property includes both a main house and a traditional storehouse (kura), set on a generous 409.67 square meter plot. The distinctive clay-tiled roof bears the name 'Ichiba-ya,' hinting at the building's historical significance as a local marketplace.
The interior showcases traditional elements including an earthen-floored entrance (doma), a living room with classic Japanese styling, and a central courtyard. Modern amenities have been thoughtfully integrated, including bathroom facilities and parking space for two vehicles.
Located within reach of Seto Station and just 10 minutes by car from Yoshii Interchange on the Okayama-Mimasaka Road, this property represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Japanese architectural heritage.
