This property, listed as "No. 274 Funatsu no Ie" (Funatsu's House), is a traditional two-story wooden house located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Funatsu, Kihoku Town, Mie Prefecture.

According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with an IH cooking heater and is fully electrified (All Electric). Utilities include electricity and tap water, with a septic tank system. A special note indicates the property's elevation is 6.0 meters above sea level. All area measurements are based on the official registry, but the current condition takes precedence. It is also noted that, as of now, an old water heater remains on the premises. A key feature is that this property is registered with the local Akiya Bank (Vacant House Bank), highlighting its status and potential for revitalization.

The area of Kihoku Town in Mie Prefecture is known for its stunning coastal scenery along the Kumano Sea, part of the larger Kumano region revered for centuries. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kumano Kodō is a network of ancient pilgrimage routes registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting hikers and spiritual seekers from around the world. The closest major landmark is the sacred Kumano Nachi Taisha, one of the three grand shrines of Kumano, famous for its breathtaking Nachi Falls, located approximately a 40-minute drive away.
