A Modern Japanese Home in Otsu
This two-story wooden house in Otsu's Shigaraki 2-chome offers a unique blend of modern design and traditional Japanese elements. Built in 2014, the property features a striking black-accented interior with solid wood flooring, shikkui plaster walls, and modern fittings. The 4LDK layout includes a sunken kotatsu in the living-dining area, which can be removed to create a flat floor with substantial underfloor storage.
The home is designed for privacy, situated on a terraced lot where the entrance and garden are not visible from the road. An L-shaped balcony with an external staircase provides multiple access points, while the large east-facing garden offers ample space for gardening or recreational activities. The entrance hall features a two-story ceiling that creates excellent acoustics, making it suitable for musical instruments.
