Hongō Minka: A Traditional Mountain Retreat with Panoramic Views of Tokyo
This rare traditional Japanese house (Minka) is perched on a branch of Mount Tsukuba, a famous peak in the northeast of the Kanto Plain admired since ancient times for its beautiful and unique shape. The property offers a truly exceptional panoramic view of the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. Its mountain location provides a rich natural environment and spectacular vistas, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy stargazing and night views. The house is well-equipped with modern living facilities, allowing it to function perfectly as either a vacation home or a full-time residence.
At the foot of the property lies Lake Kasumigaura, the second-largest lake in Japan, and the city of Tsuchiura, which flourished as a strategic point along the lake's shore, offering urban convenience. Both central Tokyo and Narita International Airport are accessible in just over an hour by car. The property is bordered on the south side by a 4-meter-wide road for 15 meters. Please note that neighborhood association fees are required (amount to be determined). Because the area is within an Urbanization Control Area, permission is required for rebuilding or other construction.
