A Traditional Kominka Family Home in Akita's Kazuno District
This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) built by the seller's parents. The family primarily used it as a weekend home due to work commitments. The house became vacant after the mother passed away in 2001 (Heisei 13) and the father in 2013 (Heisei 25). Despite its age, the home is noted for its sturdy construction. The seller's maternal grandfather, who worked in the forestry industry, supplied Akita cedar for the build. The father's construction company and a carpenter uncle then collaborated to erect this robust structure. The seller moved to Saitama Prefecture approximately 20 years ago, and the house has been unoccupied since around 2013. The current owner was advised that a house deteriorates if left empty, which prompted the listing. A nearby paternal aunt holds the keys, making viewings possible. The seller apologizes for the limited number of photos due to difficulty visiting the property.
The house features a mix of traditional Japanese and Western-style rooms. The main floor includes a living room (リビング), a kitchen (キッチン), and multiple Japanese-style rooms (和室). One notable space is a large approximately 20-tatami mat room. Upstairs, there is a Western-style room of about 15-tatami mats in size, which comes with a balcony (ベランダ付き). The second floor also contains an additional Japanese-style room and an attic storage space (屋根裏物置). The entrance (玄関) leads into a traditional genkan area. The property offers scenic views from the second floor.
