Spacious Traditional Japanese Home in Tsuruoka, Yamagata
This property is a substantial two-story wooden house built in July 1962, offering a generous total floor area of 186.84 square meters (approximately 56.51 tsubo) on an identically sized plot of land. The layout is a spacious 6SDK, featuring six Japanese-style rooms (two 8-tatami, two 6-tatami, one 10-tatami Western-style room, and a 5-tatami service room). The home includes a 9.9-square-meter balcony and a garden area.
Key equipment and features include a separate bath and toilet, city gas, and both water supply and sewer systems. Important special notes from the agent indicate that the property will be transferred with all remaining items and fixtures left as-is. The sale is based on the registered (公簿) land area. The seller will handle the registration change for the building addition. The property is transferred in its current visible condition with boundaries not explicitly indicated, and the seller's liability for non-conforming contracts is exempted. There is a possibility the building coverage ratio exceeds regulations.
The property is located in the Mitsumitsucho area of Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture. Tsuruoka is a historic city on the Sea of Japan coast, part of the Shonai region, and is a gateway to the sacred Dewa Sanzan mountains—a major pilgrimage site for the Shugendo religion. The city is also known for its traditional Kamo Aquarium, famous for its extensive collection of jellyfish species. The closest major landmark is the Dewa Sanzan, comprising the three sacred mountains of Mt. Haguro, Mt. Gassan, and Mt. Yudono, which are central to Japanese mountain worship.
