In the countryside of Wakayama, this charming traditional Japanese home offers an opportunity to own a spacious rural property at an incredibly accessible price. Built in 1940, the house carries the quiet character of old Japan.
The home features a 5LDK layout, meaning five separate bedrooms alongside a living, dining, and kitchen area. With a total living space of 158㎡, the interior feels open and flexible, allowing for both traditional tatami-style living and modern updates.
Set on a large 735㎡ plot of land, the property also includes residential land and fields, offering plenty of room for gardening, small-scale farming, or simply enjoying wide open space 🌾. Parking is available for three cars or more, making it practical even for households with multiple vehicles. Extra 1,500m² field plus optional warehouse lot, offering rare renovation freedom and a peaceful, well-connected rural lifestyle.
