Akane House is a completely renovated traditional Japanese townhouse featuring a private garden and stunning mountain views from every room. Located in the Haibara area of Uda City, the house offers a peaceful "small-town Japan" atmosphere with easy access to the major hubs of Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, and Nagoya via the Kintetsu Line.
-- Designed for Living and Remote Work --
The house is bright, warm, and thoughtfully decorated to balance authentic Japanese aesthetics with modern convenience. It is ideal for those looking to work remotely or enjoy a stress-free getaway. Unlike many traditional houses, each room here has a private, locking door.
[Productivity]: Stay connected with high-speed optical fiber internet. Use the large dining table as a shared workspace, or retreat to the private desks located in each room for quiet focus and conference calls.
[The Common Space]: The open-plan area is designed for cooking, dining, and leisure. A dedicated sitting corner overlooks the Japanese garden—the perfect spot for tea or board games.
[Amenities]: The kitchen is fully equipped for long stays, including a large refrigerator suitable for groups of 5–6 people.
-- Explore the Haibara Area --
Convenience is at your doorstep, with a town park and a convenience store just 100 meters away. The local main street is home to several chef-owned restaurants serving excellent local cuisine. For more dining variety or karaoke, the nearby stations of Sakurai and Yamato-Yagi are easily accessible.
-- Nature and Spirituality --
The true draw of Akane House is its proximity to Japan’s natural beauty and history:
[Outdoor Recreation]: Recharge with a walk through Torimiyama Park or explore nearby mountain trails featuring gorges and waterfalls.
[Historic Temples]: Both Hasedera and Murouji are just one train stop away. Hasedera offers an experience similar to Kyoto’s famous Kiyomizu-dera, but with a fraction of the crowds.
-- Practical Connectivity --
[Transport]: While the Kintetsu train line makes day trips easy (Kyoto is reachable in under 90 minutes), the area is best explored by car. Akane House provides a parking space suitable for a kei-car or motocycles.
[Day Trips]: You can enjoy the tranquility of Nara Park by day and the bustling nightlife of Osaka by evening, returning to the quiet of Haibara for the night.
[Community]: For those looking to mingle, the SOUDA co-working space and the local public library are excellent nearby resources.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
