Embrace Slow Island Living in a Spacious 5LDK Home on Etajima Island

Essential agent notes highlight that some renovation is required, particularly for the water areas (kitchen and bathroom). There are also water leak stains in the closets of the rooms on the west side of each floor, significant enough to have penetrated the ceiling boards. The compact bathroom is noted as easy to clean. The practical kitchen boasts a convenient back entrance and a large work counter, perfect for handling the day's fresh catch. Outside, there is space for a home vegetable garden.

The location is a major draw for those seeking an active, nature-filled lifestyle. Etajima Island is renowned for fishing, sea kayaking, cycling, and short hikes, with the calm Seto Inland Sea right at your doorstep. The property is just a 5-minute walk from the port, with ferry connections to Hiroshima City's Ujina Port (about 30 minutes) and Kure City (6km away). An interesting local landmark is the "Guchi Kiki Jizo" (Complaint-Hearing Jizo), a statue with a bench where locals are said to share their troubles. For a major tourist attraction, the historic Kure City, home to the Yamato Museum (featuring the famous battleship), is just a short ferry ride away, offering a deep dive into Japan's maritime history.
