Spacious and Affordable 4DK House for Rent in Himeji
This charming two-story wooden house, built in May 1975, offers a surprisingly spacious and flexible living environment in the Otsu ward of Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. With a total floor area of 76.72㎡ (approximately 23.2 tsubo), the property features a 4DK layout. The interior breakdown includes three Japanese-style rooms (6 tatami mats, 6 tatami mats, and 4.5 tatami mats) along with a 4-tatami mat dining-kitchen area. The house is equipped with separate bath and toilet, a two-burner gas stove, and includes a balcony. Parking for bicycles and motorcycles is available on-site, and a car parking space is also provided free of charge.
Key rental terms are notably tenant-friendly. The monthly rent is a very affordable 20,000 yen with no additional monthly management or common area fees. There is no security deposit (敷金), no key money (礼金), and no renewal fee, as the contract is on a two-year fixed term without an automatic renewal charge. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate occupancy. The agent's notes specify that the property is suitable for seniors and allows for considerable flexibility: pets are negotiable, musical instruments are permissible, DIY projects are allowed, and even use as an office space is possible. Prospective tenants are required to have insurance for the two-year lease period.
The house is conveniently located just a 4-minute walk from Hiramatsu Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway Aboshi Line, providing easy access to central Himeji and the wider region. The area is part of the historic city of Himeji, famously dominated by Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most spectacular and well-preserved feudal castles. Often called the "White Heron Castle" for its elegant white plastered walls and graceful appearance, it is a premier tourist attraction drawing visitors from around the world and offering a stunning backdrop to daily life in the city.
