Traditional Japanese Home with Garden Space in Nakatsugawa
This property is a detached second-hand house located in a quiet residential area of Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture. Built in October 1983, this 42-year-old traditional Japanese-style building spans a total floor area of 118.41 square meters on a generous 493.43 square meter corner plot. The layout is a spacious 5DK, offering five rooms plus a dining-kitchen area, making it suitable for multi-generational living. The home features a south-facing orientation, a monitor-equipped intercom system, and a unique attic storage space. At the rear of the building, there is a dedicated home vegetable garden area and a storage shed.
According to the agent's notes, the property is currently vacant and requires cleaning out, with the seller responsible for removal. Several repairs are needed, specifically the replacement of a toilet seat and the bath boiler tank. The seller will not bear the costs for these repairs. The property does not include a dedicated parking space, but it is possible to rent parking from a neighboring landowner. The home is equipped with a toilet, bath, running water, sewer system, and propane gas.
The property is situated in the Sakashita area, approximately a 3-minute drive from JR Chuo Main Line's Sakashita Station, providing convenient rail access. The surrounding region of Nakatsugawa is part of the scenic Kiso Valley, historically known as the Kisoji, one of the five major routes of the Edo period. A major nearby landmark is the historic Magome-juku, a beautifully preserved post town on the Nakasendo trail, offering a glimpse into Japan's feudal travel history with its stone-paved paths and traditional architecture.
