The south-facing main house benefits from excellent sunlight, while the private garden is subtly shielded from neighbors' views. The compound includes auxiliary structures like a storehouse and well, preserving its authentic rural character.
The 1,403-tsubo (4,639㎡) property includes cultivated fields and sits just 8 minutes by car from Wake Station. The 1935-built wooden house spans 22.7 tsubo (75.04㎡) with a distinctive 7K layout where kitchen and toilet areas are housed in separate outbuildings.
