Historic 5K House in Hagi City with Renovation Potential
This property is a 75-year-old wooden house located in the historic delta area of Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The house requires significant renovation, with issues including floor subsidence, roof leaks, and outdated, poor-condition bathroom and toilet facilities. The layout is a spacious 5K (5 rooms plus kitchen/dining). The building covers 74.05 square meters on a 122.34 square meter plot of land, which is a corner lot in a quiet residential neighborhood.
The property's equipment includes city water, a cesspit (汲取), and propane gas (プロパンガス). It is registered with the local Akiya Bank (空き家バンク登録物件) and is noted for being close to the city center (市街地が近い). A special note (備考) states that priority is given to U-turn migrants (UJIターン者優先物件), referring to people returning to their hometown or region from urban areas. The price is listed as negotiable (価格応相談).
The location offers convenience with a convenience store a 9-minute walk away, a supermarket within a 12-minute walk, and Hagi City Hall approximately 20 minutes on foot. The area is part of Hagi, a city renowned for its pivotal role in the Meiji Restoration and its beautifully preserved samurai district. An interesting historical fact is that Hagi is the birthplace of several key figures who shaped modern Japan, and its streets retain the original grid layout from the Edo period. The closest major landmark is the Hagi Castle Town, a nationally designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings, which is just a short distance from the property.
