Renovated Two-Story House in Himeji with Modern Amenities
This two-story wooden house, built in September 1993, is located in the Anari area of Shikamaku, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. The property is currently vacant and scheduled for a comprehensive renovation to be completed in early April 2026 (Reiwa 8). The renovation plan includes the complete replacement of the system kitchen, all toilets, the washbasin vanity, a monitor-equipped intercom, washing machine faucets, and bathroom faucets. Additionally, the exterior walls and roof will be repainted. All rooms except the Japanese-style room will have their walls and ceilings re-papered with new wallpaper. The Japanese-style room will have its tatami mats re-covered and its fusuma (sliding doors) and shoji (paper screens) re-papered. A full house cleaning and termite prevention work are also part of the plan. The installed equipment will come with a 10-year extended warranty covering the system kitchen, washbasin vanity, warm-water washing toilet seat, and multi-functional toilet seat sheet type.
The house features a 5DK layout with a total floor area of 103.19 square meters on a 107.44 square meter land plot (official register). Key equipment includes a system kitchen with a counter, an IH cooking hob, a bath with reheating function and dryer, a shower-equipped washbasin vanity, and a washlet toilet seat. Indoor amenities comprise a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The property is all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and comes with a parking space for two or more vehicles. Other facilities include public water supply, propane gas, sewerage, and hot water supply.
The location offers convenient access to daily necessities, with supermarkets like Aeon Co-op Takahama and Lawson stores, a home improvement store (Konan Pro), and a post office within proximity. The area is served by public transportation, with Sanyo Electric Railway's Tegara Station approximately a 24-minute walk away. While the neighborhood provides essential services, it is also within reach of Himeji's premier cultural landmark. The property is situated in a region steeped in history, famously home to Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most magnificent and well-preserved feudal castles, offering a stunning glimpse into the country's samurai past.
