Spacious Kominka-Style House in Nagano with Renovated Kitchen and Bath
This property is a large, two-story wooden house located in the settlement on the way to Togakushi in Nagano City. The exact year of construction is unknown, but it features a kominka (traditional Japanese house) style. The property includes a main house, a storehouse (kura), and a storage shed. The kitchen and bathroom areas have been renovated, providing modern convenience within a traditional framework. The house boasts a substantial floor area of 164.45 sqm (approximately 49.74 tsubo) and sits on a land area of 294.21 sqm (approximately 88.99 tsubo). The layout is a generous 7DK, featuring multiple Japanese-style rooms including a 9-jo room, several 8-jo rooms, a 6-jo room, and a 4.5-jo room. A notable feature is the presence of thick, central pillars (daikokubashira). The attic space is accessible. It is important to note that there is foundation uplift due to land subsidence, which requires attention.
The property's facilities include propane gas, tap water, a sewer system, electricity, a garden, and good sunlight exposure. Parking is available. The property is registered with the Nagano City Akiya Bank (registration number 706). The land is subject to a sediment disaster warning zone (yellow zone for steep slopes/landslides, with parts in a red zone for steep slopes).
The area is part of Nagano Prefecture, known for its stunning natural beauty and outdoor activities. An interesting fact is that the nearby Togakushi area is steeped in Shinto legend and is home to the Togakushi Shrine, a complex of three shrines with a history dating back over 2,000 years, nestled in a forest of ancient cedar trees. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic and spiritually significant Togakushi Shrine complex.
