A Century-Old Farmhouse in the Toyama Countryside

This traditional farmhouse, located in the Suehiro area of Oyabe City, Toyama Prefecture, is a remarkable property built approximately 100 years ago. Despite its age, the house is in excellent condition and features a unique structural design characteristic of the Toyama region, known as 'waku no uchi' (framed interior). The interior is defined by large beams and crossbeams (sashi-kamoi), creating a spacious hall that connects to various rooms, a layout that also provides excellent earthquake resistance. Upon entering the genkan, a hallway leads to the rear of the house, with the older, main living spaces on the left and the renovated wet areas (kitchen and bathroom) on the right.

All of the plumbing and fixtures in the renovated kitchen and bathroom are fully functional and ready for immediate use. The dining-kitchen area (DK) is equipped with a stove, and together with the living room, the house can be comfortably inhabited even during the cold winter months. The property is surrounded by rice paddies and features a protective forest (yashiki-rin) on the grounds, which helps to block the wind and reduce the intensity of the summer sun. A valuable asset of this property is the collection of outbuildings, which includes a warehouse and a workshop. The workshop comes complete with a cultivator, a snow remover, and a full set of tools, making it exceptionally convenient for various tasks. There is also a field (hatake) on the property. This farmhouse is an ideal choice for anyone considering a move to the countryside.
