A Rustic Log House in Kanagawa's Serene Countryside
Nestled in the lush greenery of Kiyokawa Village, this authentic log house offers a unique retreat just 40 minutes by bus from Hon-Atsugi Station. The 228-tsubo (755.43㎡) property features a charming 1LDK layout with an additional free space on the second floor, perfect for creative use. Built in 2017, the 89.64㎡ home showcases handcrafted details like antique lighting fixtures and Italian castle tiles in the entryway.
The surrounding area of Kiyokawa is known for its pristine natural environment, with the Tanzawa Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop. An interesting local fact: the village maintains one of Kanagawa's last remaining populations of fireflies, which illuminate the streams in early summer. The nearest major attraction is the Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park, offering hiking trails through old-growth forests just 15km north.
Inside, concrete bathtubs and wood-fired design elements create a rugged yet refined atmosphere. The south-facing wooden deck overlooks the property's wooded expanse, where the sound of a nearby brook enhances the tranquil setting. This is countryside living with thoughtful craftsmanship at every turn.
