Compact and Bright Home in Kagawa's Tranquil Countryside
This compact single-family house, built in July 1982, offers a surprisingly bright and warm living environment. Located in Yokochi, Higashikagawa City, Kagawa Prefecture, the property is just an 8-minute walk from JR Sanbonmatsu Station. Its south side faces farmland, ensuring excellent sunlight and a cozy, warm atmosphere even during cold winters. The property is an ideal choice for minimalists, as a company dormitory, or as an investment property. While it is an older build, it is described as still very much in active service.
According to the agent's notes, the property features a bathroom with a window and includes closets. The location is noted as a quiet residential area on a regularly shaped plot of land. Special remarks clarify that the transaction will be based on the registered land size, with a disclaimer for non-conformity liability and non-indication of boundary lines. Upon a successful sale, a brokerage commission of ¥330,000 will be charged. Removal of any remaining items has been completed. The building structure is wood, with two above-ground stories. The floor plan consists of four rooms: three Japanese-style rooms (6 tatami, 6 tatami, and 4.5 tatami mats) and one Western-style room (6 tatami mats), plus a 4-tatami mat kitchen (K). The main source of natural light is from the south. The annual fixed asset tax for the 2025 fiscal year is ¥9,497. The land is zoned as Category II Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
The surrounding area of Higashikagawa is part of Shikoku's scenic Sanuki region, known for its traditional udon noodles and serene landscapes. An interesting local fact is that the city is home to the historic Hiketa Castle ruins, a site associated with the legendary Heike clan. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Kotohira-gu Shrine (Konpirasan), one of Japan's most important Shinto shrines, located approximately a 30-minute drive away and famous for its 1,368-step stone staircase leading to the main hall.
