Description
If you are looking for "mountain living" in a location surrounded by mountains and a river, this is the place.
The property is in the Nakahara district of the Yamago area, which sits at a relatively high elevation within Chizu Town. It is very close to Yamago Station, which has a subway-like platform, and the express bus stop is also nearby, so you can enjoy a mountain lifestyle with easy access to the city.
The building is about 70 years old. However, the owner has kept visiting frequently to air it out even while no one has been living there, so moisture has not built up and air circulates well.
Behind the house a small river flows, and you feel enveloped by the mountains. The air is so clean you will want to take deep breaths, and the flowing water is beautifully clear.
The house also sits a little above the road, which gives it a good view.
The floor plan is a variation on the traditional "ta-no-ji" (rice-field character) layout. Depending on how you use it, you could remove the sliding fusuma doors between several of the Japanese-style rooms to create one large, open space, which feels open and pleasant.
Around the building there are three garages, each with slightly different dimensions.
Another highlight is the earthen storehouse (dozo). A storehouse is a place where temperature varies little throughout the year, making it ideal for storing things. The writer says they are even maturing their own miso in their storehouse at home, and that a storehouse adds a lot to enjoying everyday life.
Why not try mountain living in Chizu Town?
