Traditional Kominka with Separate Bath House and Spacious Land in Tamura City
This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) with a unique layout and significant potential. The house features a dirt floor entrance area (doma), four tatami rooms, two wooden-floored rooms, and six additional rooms with dirt floors, offering a total building area of 168.59 square meters. It sits on a generous plot of land measuring 1,384.95 square meters. The property includes a separate bath house (known as an 'inkyo' or retreat) and a storage shed.

The property is located in the quiet, south-facing residential area of Abukawa, Funebiki-cho, within Tamura City, Fukushima Prefecture.

An interesting local fact is that the area is part of the historic 'Aizu' region, famed for its samurai heritage and craftsmanship.
