Traditional Kominka Rental in Nagatoro, Saitama
This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) available for rent in the Ido district of Nagatoro Town, Saitama Prefecture. The owner is seeking a tenant following the departure of the previous renter. The house comes with existing furniture, though small items and garbage will be removed. Larger furniture may remain in place. The water and plumbing facilities have been renovated and are in usable condition. However, as an old house, it shows signs of aging and is offered strictly on an "as-is" basis. The landlord will not be responsible for repairs or maintenance; the tenant must be willing to undertake all necessary upkeep and management themselves.
The land is exceptionally spacious. In addition to the main house, there are outbuildings and a storage shed, all available for use. The plot referenced as 57-1 on Google Maps is a field suitable for a small home vegetable garden and has also been used in part as a parking space. While the primary offering is a rental, a purchase could be considered if the buyer is also interested in acquiring the surrounding, extensive forest land.
The rental terms are as follows: monthly rent of 60,000 yen, key money (reikin) of 0 yen, a security deposit (shikikin) of 120,000 yen (equivalent to two months' rent), an agency fee of 66,000 yen (tax included), a household insurance fee of 20,000 yen (for two years), and a guarantee company fee starting from approximately 60,000 yen. The property is offered in its current state, and the landlord will not provide compensation for issues. However, the tenant is permitted to make modifications to a reasonable degree. The landlord is exempt from liability for non-conformities but guarantees the basic functionality of essential infrastructure (electricity, water, and gas boiler). Pet ownership (cats and dogs) is allowed.
The initial contract period is two years. To discourage early termination, a cancellation fee of two months' rent (120,000 yen) will apply if the contract is terminated within the first two years, as no key money is charged upfront.
