Spacious Traditional Home in Shonai's Historic Heart

This property presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of land with a traditional Japanese home in the heart of Shonai, Yamagata. The residence, built in July 1965, is a two-story wooden structure offering a generous 90.47㎡ (approximately 27.36 tsubo) of living space. Its unique 8DK layout provides exceptional flexibility, comprising eight Japanese-style rooms (three 8-tatami, one 6-tatami) and four Western-style rooms (5, 6, 9, and 12㎡). The property sits on a sizable 330.57㎡ plot (approximately 99.99 tsubo) within a Category I Residential Zone, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The land is designated as residential, with a gentle slope and a current status as an unoccupied house (akiya).

Key features include parking availability, ownership rights, and a negotiable handover date. The property is located in an area not yet designated under the City Planning Act. The building has undergone the necessary construction confirmation process. The property is being offered through an agency, with the transaction being of a brokerage nature.

The home is situated in the Kanazawa area of Shinjo City, a region steeped in history as a former castle town and a vital post station on the old Ushu Kaido trade route. Today, Shinjo is a key transportation hub for the Shonai region. A major local landmark is the Shinjo Festival, one of Japan's three great float festivals, held annually in late August. The property is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the Shinjo Station, served by the Yamagata Shinkansen, providing direct high-speed rail access to Tokyo and other major cities.
