Shimoichi Old House
Shimoichi Town, Nara Pref.
Located in central Nara Prefecture, Shimoichi sits beside Yoshino, famous for its Senbon-zakura cherry blossoms. Since ancient times, it has served as the gateway to the vast Kii Mountains, leading to hidden villages and the forests of Odaigahara. This three-story steel-frame house sits on a corner lot, with three rooms on each floor. The first floor is well-suited for a café or retail space, while the upper levels could be used as a guesthouse or private residence. With the right vision, this old house could be transformed into a place that brings new energy and life to the town. There is a school just behind the property, making it family-friendly, while central Osaka, Nara, and Kansai International Airport are all about 75 minutes away by car.
