In the peaceful coastal city of Murakami, Niigata, a rare gem has come to market, a spacious 8LDK traditional Japanese inn that offers both character and convenience. Built in 1977 and beautifully renovated in 1997, this two-story wooden residence stretches across 247㎡ of living space on a generous 620㎡ plot, giving you plenty of room to live in harmony with nature 🌿.
Step inside and you’ll discover 8 bedrooms and elegant Japanese design details that make this home truly unique. But what makes this property truly stand out is that it boasts its very own private onsen ♨️ a rare and luxurious feature that transforms the home into a peaceful retreat or an unforgettable inn-style experience for guests.
Renovations brought modern comfort, updated plumbing, a refreshed kitchen and bathroom, new tatami, and fresh interiors, all while preserving its timeless traditional charm.
Another major highlight is the parking space for up to 8 cars and comes with a lovely garden, induction cooktop, and a counter kitchen.
