Tokyu Resort Town Tateshina Kobushi-dai: A Mountain Retreat with Wooden Charm
This 3LDK detached villa, built in December 1987, offers 86.11 m² of living space within the expansive Tokyu Resort Town Tateshina Kobushi-dai. The interior features partial wood-paneled walls, creating a warm, mountain-cabin atmosphere that embraces the natural feel of wood.
