A Spacious Traditional Home in Gifu's Serene Countryside
This property presents a substantial traditional Japanese house on a generous plot of land in the tranquil town of Yoro, Gifu Prefecture. Built in January 1961, the wooden structure offers a classic layout with nine rooms plus a dining kitchen (9DK), providing ample space for a large family or those seeking room to grow. The total building area is 213.26 square meters (approximately 64.51 tsubo), set upon a vast land area of 745.91 square meters (about 225.63 tsubo).
Essential property details from the agent notes include the following facilities: Propane gas, city water supply, and sewerage system. Special notes on road access specify it fronts a public road on one side to the south, with a width of 4.9 meters. Critical remarks include details of an extension built in Showa 38 (1963), with the exact date unknown, and a separate wooden single-story building of 49.53 square meters (approx. 14.98 tsubo) constructed in Heisei 8 (1996), again with the exact date unknown. The property has a history of renovation, and there are formal notification matters for prospective buyers.
The property is currently vacant and includes parking for up to three vehicles. The land is designated for residential use within an area not subject to urban planning lines, offering flexibility. The terrain is gently sloped, adding character to the expansive grounds.
The area surrounding Yoro is known for its natural beauty and historical significance. A fascinating local attraction is the Yoro Park, site of the legendary "Yoro Waterfall," which, according to folklore, flows with *sake* instead of water, bestowing longevity on those who drink from it. The park is a major landmark featuring beautiful gardens, museums, and the unique "Site of Reversible Destiny." This peaceful region of Gifu offers a retreat from city life while remaining connected, with the Yoro Railway providing local access.
