This one feels like stepping into a hidden Japanese retreat. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by warm wood tones, clean lines, and that beautiful engawa-style corridor running along the garden. Huge sliding glass doors open directly onto a perfectly maintained traditional garden with a pond, stones, and layered greenery that changes with the seasons 🍃
Inside, the house blends polished wooden floors with classic tatami rooms, giving you both modern comfort and authentic Japanese atmosphere. The layout is expansive with 6 bedrooms plus 3 storage spaces. One of the highlights here is how the house wraps around the pond, creating that peaceful indoor outdoor flow you usually only see in high-end properties.
Every angle feels calm, private, and connected to nature 🌳 The bathroom is bright and spacious with garden views, adding that relaxing onsen-style vibe, while the overall structure feels solid, well-kept, and ready to enjoy. And despite this serene setting, you’re still just a 20min walk to Kamo Station and only 3min from a bus stop, making daily life surprisingly convenient.
