A Spacious Kominka with Storeroom and Garage in Awara City

This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) located in Awara City, Fukui Prefecture. The building is unregistered, meaning the stated building area of approximately 300 square meters is an estimate. The house has a history of extensions and renovations in 1978 (Showa 53) and 1986 (Showa 61). The property also includes a garage (built in 1948, 75.81 sq m) and a traditional earthen-walled storehouse (kura) built in 1941 (Showa 16), measuring 55.48 square meters. With a generous land size of 1,168.56 square meters, there is ample space for hobbies like a home vegetable garden.

The house itself is a wooden structure built in January 1954, making it 72 years old. It is a pre-1981 seismic standard (old earthquake-resistant) building. The layout is exceptionally large at 12LDK, spread over two stories, and the property is currently vacant. Utilities include propane gas and a connection to the public sewer system. The building-to-land ratio is 60% with a floor area ratio of 200%.

Awara City is situated at the northernmost tip of Fukui Prefecture, bordering Ishikawa Prefecture. The area offers excellent access, with the JR Hokuriku Main Line's Awara Onsen Station and the Kanazukuri Interchange on the Hokuriku Expressway nearby. Komatsu Airport is also conveniently close. Notably, Awara Onsen Station was upgraded in spring 2024 to be served by the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train, significantly improving connectivity. The region is blessed with the beautiful Sea of Japan, serene lakes and rivers, lush green mountains, and sun-drenched agricultural produce. The presence of high-quality hot springs adds a layer of luxury to everyday life here. A major local attraction is the Awara Onsen hot spring resort area, a popular destination for relaxation just a short distance from the property.
