This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) located in a tranquil rural area of Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture. The single-story home offers a generous 6DK layout, providing ample space for various living arrangements. The total building area is 142.51 square meters, situated on a sizable plot of land measuring 277.34 square meters. The property features a separate bath and toilet, electricity, a septic tank system, and propane gas. Water is supplied via groundwater, as there is no connection to the public water supply. The home also includes a garden and a separate outbuilding, with additional space suitable for a vegetable garden.
According to the agent's notes, the property requires significant repairs. The surrounding amenities include a post office approximately 3km away, a supermarket about 5.6km away, and a hospital roughly 5.7km away. For relaxation, several notable hot spring resorts are within a reasonable drive: Hahawai Onsen and Togo Onsen are both about 31 minutes by car, while Misasa Onsen is approximately 27 minutes away.
The area around Kurayoshi is part of the scenic Tottori countryside, known for its relaxed pace of life and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that Kurayoshi is famous for its production of "Nijisseiki" (20th Century) pears, a premier fruit variety. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Kurayoshi Shirakabe Dozo-gun, a district of beautifully preserved white-walled storehouses that offer a glimpse into the area's merchant history and now house cafes, shops, and museums.
