Special notes from the agent highlight the serene Japanese-style space for relaxation and a beautifully lit tsuboniwa (courtyard garden) that changes its expression throughout the day, bringing beautiful shadows and depth to the traditional space. The property is currently vacant and ready for viewing. The layout is 1SDK with a building area of 96.88 sqm on a 208.13 sqm plot. It was built in May 2024, making it essentially a new build. Parking is available for two or more vehicles.
The area of Ujitawara is famously known as the birthplace of Uji tea, specifically the 'Uji Gyokuro' and 'Uji Matcha' varieties, following the development of the tea cultivation method known as 'Uji-cha' in the Edo period. The region is deeply connected to Japan's tea culture. A major nearby landmark is the historic Byodo-in Temple in Uji City, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its Phoenix Hall, which is depicted on the 10-yen coin.
