Traditional Japanese Home in a Quiet, Green Neighborhood
This property, listed as Vacant House Bank No. 24, is a charming traditional Japanese home located in the quiet, green residential area of Yachiyo Town, Ibaraki Prefecture. The house offers a peaceful environment with good sunlight and low surrounding traffic, making it an ideal retreat. The building itself is older and features a unique and rare-of-its-kind bathtub: a traditional "goemon-buro" (a deep, iron bathtub heated from below).
The property includes essential facilities such as a toilet, electricity, propane gas, and a well. It features Japanese-style rooms (washitsu), a storage room (nando), and a garden, including a south-facing garden. The home's layout is a 2DK, with a total building area of 42.14 square meters situated on a generous 273.82 square meter plot of land. The land is corner-lot and ownership is freehold. Parking is available for two or more vehicles.
Yachiyo Town is part of the scenic Yuki District in Ibaraki. The area is known for its agricultural heritage and tranquil countryside. A notable landmark within a reasonable drive is the historic Oarai Isosaki Shrine, a beautiful Shinto shrine perched on cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, famous for its stunning "Kamiiso no Torii" gate that appears to float in the sea at high tide.
