Pros and cons of this 6DK house

Single-storey wooden 6DK farmhouse of 120.81 m² on a large 1,143.25 m² freehold plot in the Kakunai district of Nihonmatsu.

Why it stands out

  • Generous plot: 1143.25 m² (about 346 tsubo)
  • Traditional kominka character
  • Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over

Points to check

  • Private road
  • Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
  • Large plot means more upkeep (weeding, fences, snow)
