No. 121 Nagashima House: A Spacious 5DK Home in Kihoku Town
This property, listed as 'No. 121 Nagashima House', is a detached house for sale in the quiet residential neighborhood of Kihoku Town, Mie Prefecture. Built in July 1971, this 54-year-old home offers a generous 5DK layout, providing ample space for a family or multi-generational living. The total floor area is 79.92 square meters, situated on a corner plot of land measuring 95.60 square meters. The property is a two-story wooden structure and is currently vacant, ready for immediate consultation on handover.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with electricity, a public water supply, a septic tank (汲取), and propane gas. A key feature highlighted is that this is a registered property on the local 'Akiya Bank' (vacant house bank) list, indicating it is part of a municipal initiative to match potential buyers or renovators with empty homes.
The home includes several desirable features: parking for two or more vehicles, a south-facing orientation, a system kitchen, two toilets, a bath with a reheating function (追焚機能), a monitor-equipped intercom, and suitability for two-generation living. Its location in a quiet residential area on a corner lot adds to its appeal.
Kihoku Town is situated in southern Mie Prefecture, an area known for its dramatic coastline along the Kumano Sea, part of the larger Kumano region which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The property is approximately a 20-minute walk from Kii-Nagashima Station on the JR Kisei Main Line, providing rail access. An interesting local fact is that the nearby waters are part of the Kumano-nada Sea, famous for traditional 'Ukai' cormorant fishing, a centuries-old method practiced in a few select locations in Japan. The closest major landmark is the sacred Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, a network of ancient trails through the mountains that lead to the grand shrines of Kumano.
