A Traditional Thatched-Roof Kominka in Hamamatsu's Tenryu District
This property is a former thatched-roof kominka (traditional folk house), situated approximately 7 kilometers along a prefectural road that follows the clear stream of the Atakogawa River, starting from the foot of Kashima Bridge, which serves as the gateway to the Tenryu District. The house is built about 3 meters higher than the prefectural road. Recently occupied, the bathroom, kitchen, and entrance area have been renovated and are ready for immediate use. This picturesque kominka, a rare sight these days, is estimated to be about 100 years old. The structural frame has some distortion, water stains are visible on parts of the ceiling, and repairs are recommended for the flooring around the Japanese-style rooms. The toilet is currently a pit latrine, but a city sewer connection point is available. In addition to the residential land where the building stands, the property includes a parking area for three cars along the prefectural road, and vehicles can approach the front of the house. The location offers a good view of the Atakogawa River, known for its clear waters. Kashima Bridge is about a 10-minute drive away, providing excellent access to various parts of Hamamatsu City. This property is suitable for both post-retirement settlement and weekend countryside living.
