Spacious Single-Story Japanese Home in Himeji with Recent Renovations
This property is a well-maintained single-story wooden house built in November 2002, offering a traditional Japanese living experience in the desirable city of Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture. The home features a 5DK layout with a total floor area of 106.60 square meters, providing ample space for family living. The property stands on a generous 368.35 square meter plot, which includes space for parking up to four vehicles in parallel.
Key equipment and features have been recently updated for modern comfort and convenience. The home is equipped with a system kitchen, which integrates storage and work areas for easy cleaning and efficient use. Cooking is made comfortable with an IH cooktop, which helps keep room temperatures down during the summer months. The bathroom is fitted with a reheating function (追い焚き), ensuring a warm bath is always available for the whole family. Additional amenities include a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet, air conditioning, underfloor storage, CATV, a TV monitor door phone, and underfloor heating. The property is also noted for being all-electric (オール電化), barrier-free (バリアフリー), south-facing (南向き), and coming with a parking space (駐車場付).
According to agent notes, specific renovations were completed in July 2025. These include the installation of a new system kitchen, wall wallpaper replacement in the Western-style rooms (5.2-tatami and 6.5-tatami), new flooring overlay in the dining-kitchen area, and the replacement of the water heater and bath unit. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover.
The location in Himeji's Taderi Higashi 4-chome offers a peaceful residential setting while remaining accessible. The area is rich in history, being the home of Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most magnificent and original surviving castles from the feudal period. A little-known fact is that the castle's brilliant white appearance and complex defensive design earned it the nickname "White Heron Castle." The property is conveniently located approximately an 18-minute bus ride from JR Himeji Station, followed by a short 2-minute walk, connecting residents to major rail lines and the vibrant city center.
