Spacious Land and Classic Home with Excellent Access to Kokura Station

The house itself, built in July 1961, is a wooden structure with a total floor area of 61.98 sqm (approximately 18.74 tsubo) and features a 4DK layout, providing ample living space.
Critical agent notes have been translated to provide essential details. The property's facilities include city gas, a public water supply, and a sewer system. Special notes regarding road access specify a one-sided road to the south, 3.7 meters wide, with a private road frontage of 2.6 meters. Important remarks indicate that parking is free of charge, but a setback of 0.30 sqm is required. The agent's remarks highlight the prime location: "Approximately a 10-minute walk to Kokura Station!!! It's an extremely good location! There is also a parking space, but even those without a car can walk to Kokura Station! It allows you to live in the city while also getting exercise to combat inactivity! The property is in a livable condition as-is, but rebuilding and reconstruction are also possible! There are notification matters."
The area of Kokura is a vibrant hub within Kitakyushu, known for its blend of modern amenities and historical charm. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kokura Castle, originally built in the early Edo period, was famously *not* bombed during World War II because cloud cover obscured it on the day of the planned air raid, leading to the atomic bomb being diverted to Nagasaki. The property's excellent access to Kokura Station places residents within easy reach of major transit links and the area's premier landmark, the reconstructed Kokura Castle and its beautiful Japanese garden.
