Discover the Tsuruda Kominka: A Fully Renovated Estate in Sanjo, Niigata
This remarkable property, the Tsuruda Kominka, is a fully renovated traditional Japanese house located at the edge of the Tsuruda settlement in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture. The estate comprises a main house, several detached structures, and traditional Kura storehouses, all spread across a generous 2,508.5 sqm plot. The buildings are thoughtfully connected by covered walkways, allowing for easy movement in any weather condition. The Kura are enclosed by separate walls for preservation, with one storehouse transformed into a spacious Western-style room featuring high ceilings, making it ideal for use as a dance or music studio thanks to its thick, sound-insulating walls.
The property was renovated in 2023 and includes significant additional land: a field (1,354 sqm), rice paddies (77 sqm), and a reservoir (615 sqm). The layout is a generous 9LDK, providing nine rooms plus living, dining, and kitchen areas within a total floor area of 384.47 sqm. Built in 1898, this kominka sits on owned land with city gas, public water, and electricity available, utilizing a septic tank system. The property borders a 5.0m wide public road on the west side and offers parking for up to eight cars. It is currently vacant. A key financial note is that there is no brokerage commission when buying directly from the seller (Shiawase Home).
