Old Houses Japan

Property Overview

Once a welcoming seaside inn, this traditional Japanese home offers unmatched charm and ocean views in a tranquil location. Featuring Yakusugi cedar pillars, kumiko-style balustrades crafted without nails, and a tasteful earthen-floored kitchen, the property invites you into the heart of Japanese craftsmanship and hospitality.

Although vacant for about 10 years, it has been regularly maintained and remains in great condition. Tatami mats, futons, and shoji screens are all intact—making this akiya perfect for private lodging, renovation into a guesthouse, or a peaceful personal retreat.

Outside, a large open area on the ocean-facing side offers ample parking or event space for barbecues and gatherings. A separate warehouse adds to the versatility and storage potential.
