Historic 160-Year-Old Home in Hagi, Yamaguchi
According to the agent's notes, the property's condition is not bad for its age, though repairs are needed to the flooring and other areas. A significant recent upgrade is the main house roof, which was completely re-thatched in Reiwa 4 (2022). The home is equipped with a shower, a separate bath and toilet room, a toilet, and running water. It is important to note that personal belongings remain in the house, but they will be removed upon finalization of a contract. This property is officially registered with the local Akiya (vacant house) Bank.
The surrounding area of Hagi is steeped in history as a former castle town of the Mori clan and is renowned for its well-preserved samurai districts and pottery. An interesting fact is that Hagi is famous for Hagi-yaki, a type of pottery highly prized in Japanese tea ceremonies for its unique, rustic aesthetic. The closest major landmark is the historic Hagi Castle Ruins, a scenic site offering panoramic views of the city and the Sea of Japan.
