A Traditional Japanese Home with the Scent of the Sea in Itoigawa
The home comes with several outbuildings, including a single-story wooden annex built in 1987, a two-story earthen storehouse of unknown age, and another two-story wooden annex built in 1976, though these are unregistered. The property faces the old street at the front and connects to National Route 8 at the rear, with the sea directly in front. According to the agent's notes, the utilities are all connected: Tohoku Electric Power, public water supply, city gas, and public sewerage.
The agent's highlights paint a vivid picture of the area: "National Route 8 runs along the coast, lined with beaches that delight surfers. Behind the buildings lining the street are low mountains, making it a tranquil place where you can enjoy not only the bounty of the sea but also the bounty of the mountains." The property is just 350 meters from Momogawa Beach and 40 meters from a bus stop, blending convenience with a serene coastal lifestyle.
The surrounding Itoigawa region is renowned for its dramatic natural beauty and geological significance. It is famously recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark due to its unique jade deposits and tectonic history. A major landmark nearby is the stunning Kurobe Gorge, a deep V-shaped ravine known for its scenic railway and hot springs, offering breathtaking views of one of Japan's most pristine natural environments.
