Spacious 6DK Traditional House in Asakuchi, Okayama
This property is a traditional Japanese house located in a quiet residential area of Asakuchi City, Okayama Prefecture. Built in March 1953, this 72-year-old wooden structure offers a generous 74.36 square meters of living space across a 6DK layout, providing ample room for a family or multi-generational living. The house sits on a well-shaped, flat plot of land measuring 147.21 square meters.
The property comes equipped with an IH cooking heater, a bidet toilet seat, electricity, tap water, and propane gas. A critical note from the agent clarifies the current utilities: there is a sewerage manhole on the premises, but as the connection to the house has not been made, the existing toilet is a simple flush type. Furthermore, while there is currently no dedicated parking space on the property, the agent remarks that removing the existing block-built storage shed could potentially create space for parking.
The interior has undergone some renovation and features multiple Japanese-style rooms (washitsu) alongside a dining-kitchen area. The south-facing orientation ensures good sunlight. The property is situated in a non-designated urban planning area with ownership rights.
The surrounding area of Asakuchi offers a peaceful lifestyle within Okayama Prefecture. An interesting local fact is that the city is part of the historic Kibi region, known for its ancient burial mounds and connections to early Japanese mythology. For a major tourist attraction, residents can easily visit the iconic Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, approximately a 30-minute drive away, famous for its beautifully preserved Edo-period merchant houses and canals.
