Traditional Japanese Kominka with Spacious Land in Iwata, Shizuoka
The house itself is a 60-tsubo (approximately 198 sqm) wooden structure that is currently occupied. The seller provides candid notes on its condition: while it has been cleaned and is livable, it requires work. Specific issues mentioned include a leaking roof and some wear and tear on the flooring. The seller is flexible regarding the future of the property, stating that the buyer is welcome to renovate the existing kominka or demolish it to build anew. The sale includes the house and its portion of the 200-tsubo land, with a clear asking price of 58,000,000 yen.
