I believe this is a rare old folk house that hardly exists anymore in the Tokyo commuting area. It is recommended for those who want to work in the hustle and bustle of the city during the day and relax in a folk house surrounded by nature at home.

Built in 1903 (120 years after construction), it was restored in 2011. It was originally left abandoned after the landlord moved out, and I restored it. When I got an estimate from a folk house restoration company, it was said to be 50 million yen, and the roof repair estimate was 10 million yen, so I gave up.

I arranged for local elderly carpenters, plasterers, and roofers to do the restoration myself. I collected and restored old storehouses and old glass doors with a Taisho Roman theme. (I used expensive old storehouses and colored glass.) The garden has a large lawn. I had a gardening company lay it for 1 million yen. The first floor has 8 tatami mats, and above it is a loft with thick pillars visible. Please check the current condition on-site. We still live here. Please feel free to visit. I will guide you.

It takes 40 minutes to Ueno on the Utsunomiya Line, 40 minutes to Ikebukuro, and commuting is possible directly from Tobu A東京通勤圏ではもうめったに存在しない珍しい古民家だと思います。昼間は都会の喧騒の中でビジネスに励み、家では自然に囲まれた古民家生活でのんびり過ごしたい方におすすめです。

明治36年建築（建築後120年）、2011年修復再興したものです。もともとの地主さんが引っ越されて廃屋のまま放置されたものを修復しました。古民家修復業者に見積りしましたところ5,000万円と言われ、屋根修復見積は1,000万円だったため諦めました。

自分で地元の老人大工、左官職人、屋根屋を手配し修復していただきました。大正ロマンをテーマに蔵戸や古いガラス戸を収集し修復しました。（高額な古い蔵戸や色ガラスを多用しています。）庭は広い芝生です。庭園業者に100万円で敷いていただきました。1階8畳の上は吹き抜けで太い柱が見えています。現地にて現状をご確認ください。私たちが現在も住んでいます。見学がてらお出かけください。ご案内申し上げます。

上野まで宇都宮線40分、池袋まで40分、東武線、東武動物公園駅から日比谷線直通で通勤可能です。500ｍ位近くに新しいベルクの大きなショッピングセンターがあります。抵当権等の設定はありません。お引渡しは相談の上でお願いします。

Settling in Saitama

Saitama Prefecture, located just north of Tokyo, offers a unique blend of suburban tranquility and proximity to urban convenience. The lifestyle in Saitama is characterized by a strong sense of community, well-maintained parks, and access to nature, making it suitable for families and outdoor enthusiasts. The excellent public transportation system allows easy commutes to Tokyo, meaning you can enjoy the vibrancy of city life while residing in a quieter environment. Finding affordable housing in Saitama is relatively easier compared to Tokyo and other major metropolitan areas. While property prices have risen, particularly in popular districts like Kawaguchi and Saitama City, you can still find reasonably priced apartments and homes in more rural areas. Areas like Fukaya offer affordable options, often at about 20-30% lower than those in Tokyo. In terms of quality of life, Saitama is generally favorable. It boasts good healthcare facilities, quality educational institutions, and lower crime rates. The cost of living is also lower than in central Tokyo, with savings on groceries, dining, and entertainment. While some may feel that Saitama's cultural offerings are more limited compared to Tokyo, the local festivals, otaku culture, and easy access to exciting attractions make it a vibrant place to live. Overall, Saitama Ken presents an attractive option for those looking to balance affordability with a pleasant lifestyle in Japan.
