A Spacious Traditional Home Near the National Treasure Usuki Stone Buddhas

The listing notes that the property is sold 'as-is' (現状有姿) and the transaction will be based on the registered land area (公簿売買). Importantly, the property also has rental potential, with an estimated monthly rent of 30,000 yen, offering an avenue for investment income. The vast 150-tsubo lot is the standout feature, providing immense freedom for gardening, creating outdoor living spaces, building a studio or storage shed, or even future expansion, allowing you to tailor the space to your lifestyle dreams.

Usuki City is a captivating blend of history, nature, and culinary excellence. As a former castle town, its streets are lined with stone-paved paths, historic buildings, traditional cafes, and old soy sauce and sake breweries, creating an atmosphere that feels like a step back in time. A fascinating fact about the area is that Usuki is famous for producing over 70% of Japan's cultivated fugu (blowfish), a winter delicacy. The closest major landmark is the Usuki Stone Buddhas (臼杵石仏), a National Treasure consisting of magnificent Buddhist carvings directly into the cliff face, dating back to the late Heian period. This serene and culturally rich environment, combined with the property's generous space and potential, makes it an ideal canvas for a peaceful home, a weekend retreat, or a creative investment project.
