Property Overview
Tucked away in the spiritual heart of Japan, this expansive countryside residence in Takachiho Town, Miyazaki Prefecture, offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature and legend. With multiple rooms and several outbuildings, the property is perfectly suited for conversion into a guesthouse, artist’s retreat, or a multi-generational home.
The grounds are a treasure trove of edible and aromatic plants: kabosu, yuzu, and plum trees flourish behind the main house, while adjacent land (approximately 152m² of designated wilderness) boasts tara shoots, sansho pepper, cinnamon trees, and seasonal myoga. Several sheds and storage buildings provide excellent utility space or renovation potential.
Situated just 6 km from Takachiho Town Hall and only 1 km from Iwato Elementary School and Amanoiwato no Yu hot spring, the home balances tranquility with accessibility. Nearby clinics, shops, and local attractions—including the legendary Amano-Iwato cave and Takachiho Gorge—make this location especially desirable for those seeking a lifestyle rooted in both nature and cultural depth.
Whether you're looking to create a sustainable farmstay, spiritual retreat, or simply a quiet home surrounded by beauty, this property offers the canvas to bring your countryside vision to life.
