Fishing Retreat Old House in Minamiise, Mie Prefecture
This property, originally purchased for fishing enjoyment, is a traditional wooden two-story house on a 146.6 tsubo (approximately 484 square meters) plot of land in Minamiise Town, Mie Prefecture. The seller notes that while some repairs are needed, the location is ideal for fishing enthusiasts, with a boat landing nearby providing immediate access to the water. A dedicated parking space is not included on the property, but a monthly parking space can be rented nearby for 3,000 yen.
The sale is for the land with the existing old house attached. The transaction will be conducted on an "as-is" basis (現状有姿) and as a public record sale (公簿売買). The property is for sale only and cannot be rented. The asking price is 2.5 million yen, with a minimum acceptable price of 1.8 million yen indicated by the seller.
The surrounding Minamiise area in southern Mie Prefecture is part of the scenic Ise-Shima region, known for its rugged coastline, abundant seafood, and deep connections to Japanese mythology and maritime culture. An interesting local fact is that the area's traditional "Ama" female free-divers, who harvest shellfish and seaweed, have been practicing their sustainable fishing methods for over 2,000 years. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine), one of Shinto's most sacred sites, located roughly an hour's drive north.
