Your Traditional Japanese Tea House Starts Here - for Just ¥12M (Sold)

This property has now sold, but it remains a strong example of what’s possible in this market.

Traditional Meets Spacious

Nestled in the tranquil town of Higashi Aso in Soja City, this 10DK+S home is a rare gem:
traditional, spacious, and surprisingly accessible.

10-room countryside retreat with charm, sun, and scale for just ¥12 million ‼️

At just ¥12M (~$84,000 USD), it offers over 300m² of interior living space and sits on nearly 800m² of land, a scale rarely seen at this price point. The classic two-story wooden construction from 1965 is still going strong, with updated bathroom and shower facilities already in place.

Why It Stands Out

• Space, and lots of it: 10 rooms, plus a storeroom - perfect for a multi-purpose retreat, home business, or co-living concept.

• Sun-drenched orientation: South-facing rooms, flat land, and a sunny garden for year-round light.

• Peace of mind: Located in a hazard-map safe zone, a major plus for countryside homes.

• Parking made easy: Room for three or more cars, with private road access and no setbacks.

• Room to grow: A garden of 10+ tsubo and extra storage space for future projects.

• Close, yet calm: Just 24 minutes on foot to Ashimori Station and a 30-minute train ride to Okayama Station.
  
  This one doesn’t need a full overhaul. It’s nearly move-in ready, with just enough room to make it your own.
