Looking for a peaceful Japanese home within easy reach of Tokyo, without taking on a renovation project yourself? This fully refreshed 3LDK house in Fukaya City, Saitama offers exactly that. Built in 1981 and comprehensively renovated, the home has never been lived in since completion, making it feel genuinely new inside.

With open countryside views, modern systems, and a flat, bike-friendly setting just under 20 minutes on foot from Okabe Station, it’s a strong option for a second home, slow-living base, or Tokyo-accessible retreat.

🛋️ Freshly Finished, Calmly Placed

The home’s first floor centers around a bright LDK with new flooring and a comfortable flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Subtle traditional details, like the carved wooden ranma above interior openings, add warmth and character without overwhelming the modern refresh.

Upstairs, three bedrooms benefit from new flooring and efficient air-conditioning, with access to a balcony overlooking open farmland. With no neighboring buildings blocking the view, the house feels open and breathable, ideal for weekend stays or longer seasonal use.

Crucially, no one has lived in the property since renovations were completed, so kitchens, bath, toilet, and finishes remain untouched. For buyers who want a clean slate without construction headaches, that freshness is a rare advantage.

📍 Welcome to Fukaya City, Saitama

Located in northwestern Saitama, Fukaya City is best known as the birthplace of Eiichi Shibusawa, often called the father of modern Japanese capitalism (his picture graces the ¥10,000 bill). Today, it’s a relaxed, agriculture-rich city where flat terrain, open skies, and strong transport links make everyday life simple and comfortable.

Okabe Station, about a 19-minute walk from the property, provides access via the JR Takasaki Line, with Tokyo reachable in around an hour. Roads are wide and traffic light, making cycling and driving easy. Daily conveniences are close at hand, including supermarkets, convenience stores, fuel stations, and clinics. One local highlight is Michi-no-Eki Okabe, a popular roadside market just a short bike ride or drive away. Known for fresh local produce, prepared foods, and regional specialties, it’s a favorite stop for both residents and visitors, and an easy way to connect with Fukaya’s agricultural culture.

Beyond daily life, Fukaya offers a balance of history, nature, and modern amenities: local produce markets and flower farms; the beautifully preserved red-brick Fukaya Station building; nearby hot springs, parks, and outlet shopping at Fukaya Hanazono; and easy access to Gunma, Kumagaya, and the wider Kanto region. It’s a place where life moves at a calmer pace, without feeling isolated.
