Spacious 4LDK Family Home with Garden in Hakodate's Serene West Kikyo Town
This charming detached house, located in the peaceful West Kikyo Town area of Hakodate, Hokkaido, offers a generous 118.26㎡ of living space across two floors. Built in May 1979, the property features a classic 4LDK layout, including three Japanese-style rooms (two 8-tatami and one 6-tatami) and one 6-tatami Western-style room. A key feature is the north-east facing engawa (veranda) on the first floor, which provides a tranquil space to enjoy the view of the private garden.
The property comes with several important notes translated from the agent's listing. The equipment includes a separate bath and toilet, a bathroom with a window, a shower-equipped washbasin, lighting fixtures, propane gas, tap water, a septic tank (汲取), and side gutters. Special remarks highlight that the land is a regular-shaped plot. Critical points for buyers to note are that the property is located in a 50-unit continuous development area (Kikyo/West Kikyo district) originally permitted in August 1969. Parking is available for 1-2 vehicles depending on the car model. The water heater boiler is unusable, and the area is non-sewered, meaning the toilet is a simplified flush type. All internal furnishings will be removed upon handover. The building completion inspection has not been finalized, and it was constructed under the old earthquake resistance standards. The property is within a Location Optimization Plan area but outside both the Residential Inducement Zone and Urban Function Inducement Zone.
The surrounding area of West Kikyo Town is known for its quiet, residential atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that Hakodate, as one of Japan's first ports to open to international trade, has a unique architectural blend of Japanese and Western influences, visible in its historic districts. The property is conveniently located, with Kikyo Station on the Hakodate Main Line a 14-minute walk away. For a major tourist attraction, residents can easily visit the iconic Hakodate Mountain (also known as Mount Hakodate), famous for its spectacular night view consistently ranked among Japan's top three nightscapes.
