A Historic Property in Rural Okayama
This property in Kumenancho, Okayama Prefecture, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Japanese history. The wooden structure, built in 1915, stands on a generous plot of over 900 square meters. Its 10DK layout provides a spacious and flexible living environment, characteristic of a bygone era.
The town of Kumenancho is situated in a serene, rural part of the prefecture, known for its agricultural heritage and tranquil setting. An interesting local fact is that the area is part of the Kibi Plain, an ancient region steeped in mythology and home to numerous keyhole-shaped kofun burial mounds from the 5th century. The closest major landmark is the historic town of Takahashi, approximately a 30-minute drive away, which is famed for its beautifully preserved Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, the highest elevated castle in Japan.
