This cozy highland retreat in Japan sits in the nature-rich area on an enormous 1,300㎡ of land. 🌲 Built in January 2006, the two-story wooden home offers 92㎡ of living space with a practical 3SLDK layout, making it ideal as a peaceful full-time residence or mountain getaway.
Inside, the warm open-plan design is complemented by a wood-burning stove, counter kitchen, induction cooktop, storage in every room and a comfortable bathroom with reheating function. The property also comes with major appliances including a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, toaster and rice cooker. Outside, you get a private garden, wide balcony, wooden deck and space for multiple cars. Exterior painting, weeding and weed-control work were completed in July 2026.
With its south-facing position and quiet natural surroundings, this feels like a ready-made escape for anyone dreaming of a slower lifestyle in the Japanese mountains all year.
