A Spacious Home in Fukuoka's Historic Setting
This 5DK house in Usui Town, Omuta City, offers a generous living space of 109.45㎡, ideal for families or those who appreciate room to breathe. Built in 1956, the property carries a sense of history while providing a blank canvas for modernization. The layout includes multiple tatami rooms and Western-style spaces, blending traditional Japanese living with contemporary comfort.
Omuta City is part of Fukuoka Prefecture's rich coal mining heritage, once fueling Japan's industrial revolution. The area now offers a quieter pace of life with easy access to nature. Just 15 minutes by car takes you to the Omuta Coal Industry and Science Museum, housed in a striking red-brick building that was once the headquarters of the Mitsui Miike Coal Mine.
The property sits on a 262.42㎡ plot with space for parking two vehicles - a valuable feature in residential areas. While the house shows its age, the solid wood construction and large windows create a warm atmosphere. The neighborhood maintains a traditional feel, with local shops and restaurants serving regional specialties like mentaiko (spicy cod roe) and motsunabe (offal hotpot).
