Renovation Opportunity in Historic Tamatsukuri Onsen District
This property presents a unique renovation opportunity in the heart of the historic Tamatsukuri Onsen district of Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. The two-story wooden house, built in January 1963, offers a substantial floor area of 158.27 square meters (approximately 47.87 tsubo) with a 5LDK layout. The monthly rent is a remarkably low 30,000 yen, with no management fees, security deposit, key money, or renewal fees. A one-month free rent period is also included. The property is currently vacant and available for immediate occupancy.
Essential agent notes have been translated: The property is located just a 30-second walk from the Tamatsukuri Onsen hot spring town and near the popular restaurant 'Buzz-tei.' It is targeted towards those interested in operating a minpaku (private lodging) business within the onsen district. The building is noted to be in a considerably deteriorated state, making it suitable for buyers who wish to live in the property while conducting repair and renovation work to regenerate the building. The property will be transferred in its current 'as-is' condition, and the lessor will not perform any maintenance or repair actions. Additional notes mention the property is close to mountains and requires renovation/repairs. Facilities include running water, sewerage, a bicycle parking area, and a motorcycle parking space.
The surrounding area is deeply connected to Japanese history and mythology. Tamatsukuri Onsen is one of Japan's oldest hot springs, with a history stretching back over 1,300 years, and is famously mentioned in the ancient chronicle 'Izumo no Kuni Fudoki.' The area is serene and rich in cultural heritage. The closest major landmark is the iconic Matsue Castle, one of Japan's few remaining original feudal castles, located a short drive away and offering stunning views over Lake Shinji.
