Pros and cons of this 5DK house
A two-storey wooden house of 144 m² on a 679 m² plot in a quiet residential setting with a convenience store about 7 minutes on foot.
Why it stands out

- Built 1981, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
