A Traditional Japanese Home Overlooking the Fishing Port of Kobe
This unique property, located in the Kobe area of Ehime Prefecture's Imabari City, offers a rare opportunity to own a traditional Japanese home with direct views of the active Kobe Fishing Port. Built in August 1967, this two-story wooden house stands on a generous 185.87 square meter corner plot, providing ample outdoor space and a sense of privacy. The total floor area is 85.71 square meters, arranged in a spacious 6K layout, making it suitable for larger families or those desiring multiple rooms.
The property is equipped with electricity, tap water, and telephone lines. It features a south-facing orientation in a quiet residential neighborhood, a system kitchen, two toilets, a bath with a reheating function, a monitor-equipped intercom, and parking for two or more vehicles. Its corner location and potential for two-family living add to its appeal. The home is currently vacant, and the handover date is negotiable.
The surrounding area of Namikata-cho is deeply connected to the Seto Inland Sea. An interesting local fact is that Imabari City is famous for its shipbuilding industry and is the starting point of the Shimanami Kaido, a spectacular 60-kilometer expressway that connects Ehime to Hiroshima via a series of breathtaking islands and bridges, popular with cyclists from around the world. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, part of this route and one of the world's longest suspension bridge complexes, offering stunning sea views.
