A Coastal Retreat in Mie's Fishing Community
This 68-year-old wooden house stands in Kaji-cho, Owase City, Mie Prefecture, offering remarkable views from its slightly elevated position. The property has been meticulously maintained with minimal leftover items, making it immediately habitable. Its 5DK layout spans two floors across 154m², providing ample space for comfortable living.
The surrounding Kaji-cho area is a small fishing community with fewer than 200 residents, known for its friendly atmosphere and traditional smoked fish specialty called "Kajiga no Aburi" that dates back a century. The region experiences significant rainfall of nearly 4000mm annually due to southeastern seasonal winds, yet maintains many sunny days. The property sits just 30 seconds walk from the sea, making it ideal for fishing enthusiasts.
The closest major landmark is the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring ancient trails through the mountainous Kii Peninsula. This historic network of paths connects various shrines and temples, drawing international visitors to experience Japan's spiritual heritage amidst stunning natural scenery.
