Okasaki Kominka: A Traditional Japanese House in Ando Town, Nara
This property is a well-crafted traditional Kominka (old Japanese house) located in Okasaki, Ando Town, Nara Prefecture. While renovation is needed, the house retains significant traditional architectural features. The roof has an elegant "Mukuri" slope, and the spacious earthen-floored area includes an old-style kitchen with a "Kamado" hearth. It is important to note that the toilet and bathhouse have been removed, offering a blank canvas for the new owner. The large grounds of 495 square meters make rebuilding these facilities easy and also offer great potential for creating a beautiful Japanese garden.
By car, the location offers convenient access, being about 30 minutes to central Osaka or Nara, and around an hour to Kansai International Airport. Public transport access is available via a 13-minute bus ride and walk from JR Kansai Main Line Horyuji Station, or a 5-minute walk from the Higashi-ando-higashi-guchi bus stop.
