Spacious Single-Story Kominka with Land in Higashimatsuyama
Key equipment and features of the house include a bathroom with a window, a bay window, propane gas, electricity, and a municipal water supply. Special notes from the agent are critical for prospective buyers. The property includes an unregistered extension of approximately 33㎡ (already included in the total building area) which was built without a construction confirmation. The toilet is a pit latrine (chumitori-shiki), and installing a septic tank would incur additional costs. Vehicle access to the parking space requires crossing a small section of neighboring private land; therefore, using a car would necessitate the removal of the western retaining wall and block fence. The adjacent farmland transfers require permission under the Agricultural Land Law. The property is sold with a disclaimer for non-conforming contract liability and without explicit boundary demarcation. However, a permit under Article 43 of the City Planning Act is in place, allowing anyone to rebuild on the land.
The Higashimatsuyama area offers a blend of suburban tranquility and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the city is known for its production of high-quality sweet potatoes, particularly the 'Beni Haruka' variety. For recreation and tourism, the area is within reach of the historic Kawagoe district, often called "Little Edo" for its beautifully preserved old merchant houses and iconic bell tower, providing a direct link to Japan's feudal past.
