Share House "Shōyasha" in Nishiawakura Village
This property is a unique share house (Shōyasha) located in the scenic Nishiawakura Village, Okayama Prefecture. It is designed to foster community through shared living spaces, particularly a counter kitchen where residents can cook and socialize together, making it ideal for hosting friends and parties. The property is also well-suited for mid-term stays such as workations or internships, with monthly plans available. A notable perk is the inclusion of usage tickets for the "amoca" coworking space. Availability for monthly plans is subject to vacancy and requires separate consultation.
The property is equipped with an induction cooking heater, a system kitchen, a furnished dish cupboard, and a separate bath and toilet (B/T). There are two toilet locations, with shared bath and toilet facilities. Utilities include a sewer system and public water supply. The unit comes furnished with a refrigerator, washer-dryer, bed, curtains, and lighting in all rooms. Additional amenities include a bicycle parking area, motorcycle parking space, a theater room, a closet, an indoor washing machine space, flooring, and air conditioning.
Special notes specify that Room 3 is a 13.2m² Western-style room with a monthly rent of 40,000 yen (currently recruiting). The agency commission is 0.5 months' rent plus consumption tax. Handover is immediate, and the management style is巡回管理 (patrol/roaming management). A key feature of the property is its south-facing orientation.
Nishiawakura Village is nestled in the Chugoku Mountains, renowned for its commitment to sustainability and its "百年の森林" (100-year forest) initiative. The area offers a tranquil, nature-rich environment perfect for a retreat from city life. The closest major landmark is the Awa Kura Onsen, a hot spring resort just a 2-minute walk from the Awa Kura Onsen Station, providing relaxation and a taste of local culture.
