Unique Business Opportunity: Traditional Japanese-Style Shop with Residence in Kurume
This distinctive property, known as 'Hanaichimonme Shop with Residence', presents a rare opportunity for business operators. The agent's special notes highlight its exceptional suitability for various facility uses such as a share house, minpaku (private lodging), rental space, or employee dormitory. While interior photos are not available, the previous owner renovated the interior to shop specifications, creating a finish reminiscent of a high-class traditional Japanese restaurant. The living area offers a view of a Japanese-style garden, and the interior features numerous decorative elements. The agent strongly recommends a viewing, stating it is well worth a look. The property includes parking space for three standard cars.
The building itself is a two-story wooden structure built in April 1975, offering a total floor area of approximately 152.72 square meters (about 46.19 tsubo). The layout is a spacious 5LDK, providing ample room. The land area is a generous 320 square meters (about 96.8 tsubo) and is located in a Quasi-Residential zone within a non-delineated city planning area. The property is currently vacant.
Located in the Jojima-machi Narazu area of Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, the property is conveniently within a 3-minute walk from the Jojima Shinmachi bus stop. The area is part of the larger Kurume region, known for its historical significance and traditional crafts like Kurume Kasuri (indigo cotton fabric).
