A Spacious Japanese Home in Rural Hyogo
This expansive property in Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture, offers a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained traditional Japanese house. Built in 1987, the 407.12 square meter wooden structure sits on a generous 575.2 square meter plot of land. The home features a versatile 16-room layout, including multiple Japanese-style rooms (washitsu) and Western-style rooms, making it suitable for multi-generational living or even a commercial venture like a countryside cafe.
The surrounding area of Kasai City is known for its rich agricultural heritage and is part of the Harima region, famous for its sake production. An interesting local fact is that the area is home to the ancient Taka-san Kofun, a keyhole-shaped burial mound from the Kofun period. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site located approximately 40 kilometers away, renowned as one of Japan's most pristine surviving feudal castles.
