Spacious 5K Home in Kirishima, Kagoshima
This property is a detached house for sale located in the tranquil Kirishima Taguichi area of Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Built in January 1966, this 60-year-old home offers a generous living space of 80.89 square meters across a large 600.26 square meter plot of land. The layout is a 5K configuration, providing multiple rooms for flexibility. The property is situated in a quiet, south-facing residential neighborhood and is a corner lot, offering additional privacy and light.
Key equipment and facilities include a separate bath and toilet (B/T), electricity, tap water, a septic tank (汲取), and propane gas. The property features two parking spaces, a system kitchen, two toilets, a reheating function for the bath, a monitor-equipped intercom, and is noted as being suitable for multi-generational living. A critical note is that the house is located within a sediment disaster special warning area. Therefore, consultation with the city's architectural guidance department is required for any reconstruction, extension, or remodeling. Furthermore, the plot adjoins forested land, and ownership of that land requires notification to the city's forestry and fisheries department.
According to the agent's remarks, nearby facilities include the Kirishima City Kirishima General Branch Office (1.1km), Takeda Hospital (1.3km), Ota Elementary School (1.6km), Kirishima Post Office (1.1km), and the A-Co-op Kirishima store (1.2km). The property is an 18-minute walk from JR Nippo Main Line's Kirishima-Jingu Station.
The Kirishima area is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and deep cultural significance. It is part of the Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park, a volcanic wonderland featuring active peaks, hot springs, and pristine forests. A fascinating local fact is that the area's mythology states it is where the grandson of the sun goddess, Ninigi-no-Mikoto, descended to earth, making it a profoundly important site in Japanese Shinto tradition. The closest major landmark is the iconic Kirishima-Jingu Shrine, a grand and historically significant Shinto shrine nestled in the mountains, easily accessible from the nearby station.
