Located on beautiful Omishima Island in Ehime, this charming 5DK home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Japan's famous Shimanami Kaido. Built in 1979 and offering 85 m² of living space, this property sits in a peaceful fishing village surrounded by history, nature, and ocean scenery.
One of Omishima’s biggest advantages is its connection to mainland Japan via the Shimanami Kaido bridge network,🌉 allowing you to drive directly to the island without relying on ferries while still enjoying a peaceful island lifestyle.
The highlight of this home is the stunning second-floor view of the Seto Inland Sea. Watch boats pass through waters once sailed by the legendary Murakami pirates and enjoy the tranquility of coastal living every day.
Unlike many affordable Japanese homes that require extensive renovations, this house is reportedly in very good condition. The area is also known for its connection to Okunoshima, Japan's famous Rabbit Island,🐇 with ferries departing nearby.
