Traditional Japanese Home with Land in Tamura City, Fukushima
This property is a traditional two-story wooden house, built in January 1959, offering a spacious 5DK layout across a total floor area of 101.63 square meters. It sits on a generous 239.14 square meter plot of land, providing ample outdoor space. The home has been vacant for approximately 15 years as of May 2024 and will require some building repairs at the buyer's expense. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood within a 5-minute walk (350 meters) from JR Bantetsu East Line's Kamimata Station.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes a toilet, bath, electricity, water supply, sewerage, a septic tank (汲取), and propane gas. Critical special notes must be considered: the electrical contract amperage is unknown. The toilet is a traditional Japanese-style pit toilet (汲み取り和式), and the toilet seat has been removed, meaning renovation is essential. The property has no parking space. The bath is heated by kerosene.
The area around Tamura City is known for its beautiful natural scenery within the Abukuma Highlands. An interesting local fact is that the region is famous for its traditional Kokeshi dolls, with a distinct style originating from the nearby Miharu Town. The closest major landmark is the historic Miharu Takizakura, a magnificent over-1,000-year-old weeping cherry tree designated as a national natural monument, located a short drive away and considered one of Japan's three great cherry trees.
