Nara house

A quiet Nara home with good Kansai access and plenty of character around it. This 3LDK detached house in Ichiba, Yamato-Takada, was built by Daiwa House and offers 94.49 m² of living space on a 105.03 m² freehold plot. The layout combines Western and Japanese-style rooms, with two tatami rooms, a spacious living and dining area, a walk-in closet and plenty of built-in storage. A south-facing balcony brings in good light, while private parking and a carport are included.

The house has already seen useful maintenance. The exterior walls and roof were repainted in 2021, while the tatami, fusuma and interior were refreshed in 2025, along with professional cleaning and replacement of the carport panel. It has been carefully maintained, making it a straightforward option for someone looking for a comfortable home without taking on a major renovation from day one.

The location is very special. Shakudo Station is within walking distance, while the surrounding area is quiet and residential, with mountains, greenery and numerous shrines and temples scattered nearby. Historic Taima-dera is also close by, adding another layer of traditional Nara atmosphere to the area. From here, Nara City and Osaka are both roughly 40 minutes away by car, while Kyoto is around an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes, making this a peaceful base for exploring Kansai without giving up access to the region’s major cities.
