Renovated 1K House with Spacious Dirt Floor Entry in Shimoda
This unique rental property, known as the Yamada Residence, offers a distinctive living experience in the coastal city of Shimoda. The home features a generously sized dirt floor entry area (doma), a traditional Japanese element that provides versatile space. This area is large enough to store motorcycles or bicycles indoors, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts with active hobbies. The entire interior has been beautifully renovated, with new wallpaper throughout and a bathroom remodel completed in January 2023.
According to the agent's notes, the property is available for immediate handover. It is a single rental unit with a dedicated area of 29.75 square meters and a rental price range of 45,000 yen. The layout is a 1K, and pets may be negotiable with the landlord. Additional features include separate bathroom and toilet, a bath reheating function, hardwood flooring, air conditioning, and an auto-lock security system. The unit is located on the first floor of a two-story wooden structure built in May 1974.
Located in Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, the area is steeped in history. A notable local landmark is the historic Ryosenji Temple, which served as the site for the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa (U.S.-Japan Treaty of Amity) in 1854, marking the end of Japan's period of national isolation. The property is approximately a 20-minute walk from Izu-kyuko Shimoda Station, providing access to the scenic Izu Peninsula.
