Spacious 8DK Traditional House with Tea Room in Ina City, Nagano
This property is a spacious 8DK detached house located in a quiet residential area of Ina City, Nagano Prefecture. Built in September 1970, this wooden two-story home offers a generous total floor area of approximately 112.32 sqm (33.97 tsubo) on a large, flat plot of land measuring 488.72 sqm (147.83 tsubo).
