Traditional Japanese Home with Rural Views in Chikujo Town
This property, listed as Chikujo Town No. 121, is a traditional Japanese wooden house located in the peaceful, rural setting of Chikujo Town, Fukuoka Prefecture. Priced at 3,000,000 JPY, it offers a generous land area of 285.15 sqm and a building area of 100.82 sqm. The layout is a 4K configuration, providing four rooms plus a kitchen.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment and facilities include a separate bath and toilet (B/T), a cesspit (汲取), propane gas, a well, and a home vegetable garden. It is a registered property with the town's Akiya Bank program, which means subsidies are available for its purchase. A critical point from the notes is that the house requires large-scale renovation. The home garden area is specifically noted as 3.02 tsubo (approximately 10 sqm). The property's key features are its registration with the Akiya Bank, views of the surrounding rice fields and田园风景 (rural scenery), and a view of the mountains.
The location offers a quiet residential neighborhood. It is a short 7-minute walk to Chikujo Town Nishi-Kakuda Elementary School and a 17-minute bicycle ride to Chikujo Town Shiida Junior High School. Public transport is accessible via the Community Bus, with the National Route 10 Takinomoto bus stop just a 1-minute walk away. For regional travel, JR Hyūdō Main Line's Buzen-Matsue Station is a 4-minute drive, and Shiida Station is a 6-minute drive. The property includes parking for two or more vehicles and faces south.
Chikujo Town is situated in the northeastern part of Fukuoka Prefecture, an area known for its agricultural heritage and serene landscapes. An interesting local fact is that the town is part of the wider Buzen region, which has a history of pottery and ceramic production dating back centuries. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Kokura Castle in Kitakyushu City, approximately a 40-minute drive away, which offers a glimpse into the region's samurai history and features beautiful gardens.
