Historic Mining Town House with Garden in Tono
In the heart of what was once a thriving iron mining community, this traditional Japanese home combines tranquility with modern convenience. Located in Kamigocho, Tono City, Iwate Prefecture, this well-preserved 60-year-old residence sits on a generous plot of land spanning over 8,700 square meters.
The two-story wooden structure, featuring 119 square meters of living space, stands along a former national highway where traffic has significantly decreased, offering a peaceful environment while maintaining accessibility. Just 250 meters from the nearest railway station, this property occupies what was historically considered prime real estate in the area.
Despite its age, the house has been meticulously maintained by its current owner, making it immediately habitable. The property includes a beautifully landscaped garden showcasing various mountain flora, plus additional land with chestnut trees, allowing residents to experience the full spectrum of seasonal changes. The location offers convenient access to local amenities, including the area's only convenience store and traditional dining establishments.
