Traditional Kominka in Tsuchiura City with Spacious Garden and Multiple Outbuildings
This traditional kominka, built in 1989, is located in a quiet residential area of Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture.

The main house offers a total of 11 rooms, combining traditional tatami rooms with Western-style rooms, providing flexibility for modern living. These spaces can be used as bedrooms, home offices, children's rooms, hobby rooms, guest accommodations, or storage areas. The second floor has been updated with a newly added shower, dressing room, and toilet from 2022. Rooms on the upper level enjoy open views of the surrounding neighborhood, with no tall buildings nearby, allowing for natural light and privacy. The main garden features newly planted cherry blossom trees and a traditional wisteria trellis (Fuji-dana), creating a pleasant outdoor space. The property also includes two separate storage buildings that can be used as workshops, studios, hobby rooms, or additional storage.
