Mitoyo, Kagawa

Charming and Cheap $56K Ant House with Ocean Vibes & Creative Spirit 🎨

On Awashima Island in Kagawa Prefecture 🌊, stands a truly unique traditional Japanese house blending history, art, and modern living. With a spacious 89㎡ living space and a 1LDK layout, this property was beautifully renovated by a team dedicated to regional revitalization. The entrance, accessed through a charming gatehouse and garden, opens into a semi-open dirt-floor genkan that flows naturally into the living-dining-kitchen area.

 Upstairs, the bedroom overlooks the open space below, giving the home a light, airy, and artistic feel ✨.

The house comes fully equipped with appliances and even a car 🚙. The kitchen has a nostalgic touch with modern conveniences, the bathroom includes a traditional-style Goemon bath ♨️, and thoughtful artistic details are found throughout, like mirrors crafted from old ship windows.

This house is more than a home, it’s a canvas that has hosted works from the Setouchi Triennale 🎨, making it part of Awashima’s cultural life. Currently run as a guesthouse, it offers both a serene retreat and an income opportunity, ideal for anyone seeking a creative residence or a slice of slow island living 🌊.
