Renovated Family Home with Traditional Charm in Tomakomai
This spacious 5LDK detached house in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, offers a comfortable and updated living space on a generous 211.50 sqm plot. The property features a total floor area of 104.89 sqm, providing ample room for a family. The house was originally built in December 1974, but has undergone significant renovations to ensure modern comfort. Key updates include a complete overhaul of the water areas in October 2017, with the kitchen, bathroom, and washbasin all replaced. Interior renovations at the same time involved replacing the wallpaper and installing new flooring. Most recently, in November 2025, the exterior was refreshed with new roof and wall coatings, and the inner windows were also replaced.
The property is equipped with a range of modern amenities for convenience. The kitchen features a system kitchen with a counter and a gas cooktop.

The house is all-electric, barrier-free, and south-facing. It also comes with a free parking carport. Additional equipment includes public water supply, propane gas, and a sewer system. A unique traditional feature is the presence of an irori (sunken hearth), adding a touch of classic Japanese atmosphere.
Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the home is just a 2-minute walk from the "Usu-no-Sawa 5-chome" bus stop, providing access to JR Chitose Line's Tomakomai Station via a 32-minute bus ride. The property includes a carport, ensuring parking is hassle-free even in snowy conditions, and an entrance vestibule (genkan fukeshitsu) for protection from rain and snow. The current status is vacant, allowing for immediate move-in.
The area of Tomakomai is a major industrial port city in Hokkaido, but it also provides access to the natural beauty of the region. An interesting local fact is that Tomakomai is home to one of Japan's largest paper and pulp manufacturing complexes. For recreation, residents can easily visit the stunning volcanic caldera lakes and hot springs of the nearby Shikotsu-Toya National Park, a major national park and tourist attraction renowned for its scenic beauty and active volcanoes like Mount Usu.
