A Historic Three-Building Set in Snow Country for Just 100 Yen
Critical agent notes translated from Japanese detail specific conditions and required buyer responsibilities. The land consists of two plots: Plot A is 462.80 sqm of residential land, while Plot B is 234 sqm currently registered as farmland; changing its designation to residential land requires consultation with the Agricultural Committee. The buildings currently have no property registration, meaning the buyer must handle the building indication/preservation registration and the demolition registration for old structures. The property is 'unconnected to a road' (misedo) and located outside of urban planning zones. The toilet is a pit latrine style, as there is no main sewer line; installation of a septic tank is required. This is a direct sale between individuals without a real estate agent, so there will be no mandatory explanation of important transaction details. Due to these variable factors, cost estimates cannot be provided.
The main house is a 5DK layout with two additional mushroom cultivation rooms, featuring spacious Japanese-style rooms with excellent sunlight. Notably, the kitchen area has partially collapsed, likely due to snow weight, offering an 'open-air' experience that necessitates renovation. The bathroom is exceptionally large. The two-story dozo features thick earthen walls for natural insulation and includes built-in storage, even within the staircase. Many antique paulownia wood chests remain on the premises. The separate warehouse and a potential adjacent forest (subject to negotiation) add further value. The region is a heavy snowfall area, making snow shoveling and roof snow removal mandatory winter tasks.
The area around Nakano City is popular for relocation, particularly for its robust support for those taking up farming. An interesting local fact is that the nearby former Toyota Village is said to be the mountainous setting inspiration for the famous Japanese folk song "Furusato" (Homeland). The closest major landmark is the renowned ski resort areas of Nagano, such as those near the Joetsu region, which hosted events during the 1998 Winter Olympics and continue to attract visitors from around the world.
