Traditional Japanese House with Mountain Views in Minobu Town
The house is well-equipped for comfortable living. It features propane gas for hot water and cooking, a separate bathroom and toilet, and windows in both the bath and washroom. The property uses a septic tank system and has a refrigerator included. The interior boasts classic Japanese elements including a tatami room (washitsu) with a decorative alcove (tokonoma). All living rooms are spacious, each over 6 tatami mats in size. Practical amenities include a bicycle parking area, motorcycle parking, ample storage with closets (oshiire) and a storage room (nando), a garden, an indoor space for a washing machine, a traditional sunken kotatsu (hori-gotatsu) for cozy winters, and air conditioning.
Special features make this home particularly appealing. It is pet-friendly (subject to consultation), offers a flat parking space, and enjoys excellent sunlight and sweeping views—reportedly even offering a glimpse of the peak of Mount Fuji. Important notes: Prospective tenants must first register with the Minobu Town Akiya Bank system. The download link for the registration application documents and usage flow is: https://www.town.minobu.lg.jp/akiya/riyou.html. The handover date is negotiable.
The property is located in the peaceful area of Hirasu, Minobu Town. This region is deeply connected to Japanese Buddhism, being home to the famous Kuon-ji Temple, the head temple of the Nichiren Shu sect of Buddhism and a significant pilgrimage site. The serene natural surroundings, combined with the area's rich cultural heritage, provide a tranquil and historically immersive living environment far from the bustle of city life.
