This incredibly affordable traditional Japanese home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of rural Japan for the price of a used car. Located in the Oaza Uo area, this two story wooden house was built in 1954 and comes with an expansive 9DK layout.
With 114㎡ of living space, the house features multiple Japanese style rooms with tatami layouts, generous storage, and a classic rural atmosphere that feels untouched by time. The property faces south, allowing natural light to flow through the home, while the surrounding greenery and open views create a calm and peaceful environment 🌿. Water, sewerage, and electricity are already connected, and the house sits on a flat 221㎡ plot.
One of the standout aspects of this property is that the sale includes additional land plots and a warehouse workshop, offering plenty of space. There is also the possibility to access approximately 6,000㎡ of nearby farmland. Parking space for multiple cars is available, and the house is delivered vacant and ready for immediate use.
Although the building requires renovation for modern residential comfort, its structure and scale make it a fantastic base for transformation. Located about 2 km from Obasute Station, the home balances rural tranquility.
