A 150-Year-Old Traditional House with Farmland and Forest in Higashihiroshima

This property offers a 150-year-old traditional house, known as a kominka, situated in the Kōchi-chō Ino area of Higashihiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The seller is letting go of the property due to increased hospital visits from a worsening medical condition. The house was intended for renovation, so materials such as lumber and windows remain on site. The interior has been cleaned, and the fields and mountain are being maintained. The house faces a field, providing an open view in a quiet location. While the sound of airplanes from Hiroshima Airport can be heard, it is not bothersome. The property has well water, and water flows from the mountain to the fields. As an old building, there are many areas needing repair, making it suitable for DIY enthusiasts, camping lovers, or those wanting to farm. The main house is a charming kominka nearly 150 years old. It sits in front of a field of a suitable size, with a mountain behind for outdoor activities. There are leaking roof sections, and the toilet, bathroom, and kitchen are non-functional (a sewage pit exists on the residential land, but the well pump needs replacement). Due to the many areas needing work, this property is recommended for those who wish to renovate and customize it, but not for those seeking a move-in ready home. Tools and a brush cutter can be included for the buyer. The nearest station is Ino Station (under 5 minutes by car, about 10 minutes by bike), and a bus stop is about a 10-minute walk away. The bus runs between Shiroichi Station and Hiroshima Airport, with a reasonable frequency. A car is convenient, but train, bus, and bicycle are also viable options. A hot spring facility is about 5 minutes away by car. Permission from the Higashihiroshima City Agricultural Committee (Agricultural Land Act Article 3) is required for the farmland, with processing taking about one month. Internet connectivity has been confirmed with SoftBank Air and Starlink. The property has not been surveyed, but boundary issues have not occurred due to deer fences and waterways. The neighbors are described as kind and considerate, offering a comfortable distance for those concerned about rural social dynamics. In-person viewing may be difficult due to the seller's health, but remote video tours are available.
