Traditional Property on the Historic Nakasendo Trail in Nakatsugawa

This property is a traditional Japanese house located along the Nakasendo, within the preserved streetscape of the former Ochiai post town. Its position in this historic area offers potential for various uses beyond residential, such as a cultural or commercial venture. The property is connected to the municipal water supply and is within an area where connection to the sewer system is possible, with the necessary piping already in place.

The property's equipment includes a separate bath and toilet room, a municipal water supply, a cesspit system, and propane gas. It is important to note the property's condition: it is currently vacant and requires both cleaning and repairs. The seller will not bear any of the repair costs. The location is designated as a Key Landscape Planning Area, meaning any renovations or rebuilding will require an application to the city. Additionally, part of the land is classified as agricultural field, which would require conversion for non-agricultural use.

The area is rich in history as part of the Nakasendo, one of the five major routes of the Edo period connecting Kyoto and Edo (modern-day Tokyo). A short drive away is the scenic Magome Pass, a famous section of the trail known for its stone-paved path and stunning mountain views, offering a direct connection to Japan's feudal past. The property itself, with its 144.85 sqm building on a 329.71 sqm corner plot, features two toilets, a system kitchen, a monitor intercom, and parking for two or more vehicles, making it suitable for multi-generational living.
