Showa Retro Kominka in Togatta Onsen, Zao Town

This property is a Showa 9 (1934) built kominka (traditional folk house) located in the heart of Togatta Onsen, Zao Town, Katta District, Miyagi Prefecture. The building was originally constructed in 1934, with extensions added in Showa 43 (1968) and Showa 49 (1974). It is a two-story wooden structure with a total floor area of 214.32 square meters on a 146.89 square meter plot. The layout is a 6DK (six rooms plus a dining-kitchen area).

Please note the following important details from the listing: There is a drainage channel (presumed to be a culvert) owned by Zao Town running beneath the building, so caution is required if you plan to rebuild. Because the building was constructed and extended under older building standards, it does not meet current Building Standards Law and is classified as 'existing non-conforming'. The property is sold as-is, with the seller disclaiming any liability for contractual non-conformity. Inquiries regarding solar power generation or other power generation business use of the land will be politely declined. There is no private road burden.

This is a 'Showa Retro' property! It is situated on the main street of Togatta Onsen. Next door is the 'Sansatei' hot spring inn. The public bath 'Kami no Yu' is a 4-minute walk away. The property was previously used as a Kokeshi doll workshop and retains a doma (earthen floor) space. It could be suitable for commercial use, capitalizing on visitor traffic. The property has propane gas, a garden, electricity, and is connected to the public water and sewage systems. Some floor corrosion is noted. The property is vacant and ready for immediate handover.
