Renovated Apartment in Tranquil Niigata with Sunroom and Free Parking
This renovated apartment, located in the quiet residential area of Washima in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, offers a comfortable and move-in-ready living space. The property, "Heights Shinden Room 202," is a top-floor unit with no neighbors above, ensuring peace and privacy. It features a 1DK layout with a total floor area of 32.25 sqm (approximately 9.75 tsubo). The interior has been fully renovated, with flooring in all rooms and individual lighting fixtures. Key facilities include a separate bath and toilet with a unit bath, a washlet toilet with heated seat, an independent washbasin area, air conditioning, and a sunroom. One free parking space is included.
The agent's notes highlight the property's excellent access, situated along National Route 116 for convenient travel towards Kashiwazaki and the central prefectural areas. The apartment is located on "Hachisuba-dori," a street associated with the revered Zen monk and poet Ryokan. Within walking distance are shrines, temples, and a roadside station (Michi-no-Eki). The Washima area, in northwestern Nagaoka, is a serene locale surrounded by nature, where rice fields stretch out beyond mountain paths, the JR Echigo Line train runs through the landscape, and the sea is visible. An auto-campground offering views of the Sea of Japan is also nearby. This is a historic district with many temples and shrines, including Ryusenji Temple, which houses Ryokan's grave, making it ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors, camping, or old townscapes. Being further from the city center means more reasonable rent and parking costs, offering great value for space. The area also typically receives less snowfall than central Nagaoka, a plus for those concerned about Niigata winters. The listing company, being a construction firm, can accommodate custom modification requests.
The Washima region is part of Nagaoka City, which is famous for its annual summer fireworks festival, one of Japan's most spectacular pyrotechnic displays. A significant nearby landmark is the Yahiko Shrine, a historic and important Shinto site located at the base of Mount Yahiko, which is a popular destination for hiking and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.
