A Century-Old Country House in Yakage
This property is a traditional Japanese home built over a century ago, located in the Mitani district of Yakage. While preserving its historic character, the house has been renovated and remains in generally good condition. It sits in a tranquil, agricultural area surrounded by rice fields and farmland.
The town of Yakage is in Okayama Prefecture, known for its well-preserved Edo-period townscape along the historic Sanyodo road. The area is famous for its traditional kibi dango millet dumplings, a local sweet with centuries of history. The closest major landmark is the historic Bitchū Matsuyama Castle, one of Japan's few remaining original castles, located approximately a 30-minute drive away.
The property includes a separate guest house that could potentially be used as a commercial space, along with various outbuildings and parking for approximately two vehicles. The land includes cultivated fields, woodland, and additional plots beyond the main residence.
