Fully Renovated Traditional-Style Single-Story Home in the Land of Clear Streams and Greenery
This property, located in the Kamikyoraishi area of Hakusucho, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, offers a unique blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. Situated near the border with Nagano Prefecture, Hakusucho is renowned for its pristine streams and lush natural environment. The house faces two roads: National Route 20 and the old Koshu Kaido highway, and is surrounded by a traditional settlement with a few vacant houses in the vicinity.
The building's exact age is unknown, but it underwent a full renovation in October 2024. Upon entering, you are greeted by the pleasant aroma of wood, a testament to the skillful use of both original old materials and new timber, resulting in a finish full of character and appeal. While the atmosphere is that of a traditional Japanese folk house (kominka), the property is equipped for comfortable, contemporary living. Notable features include a bathroom with a heating and drying system and a "Tokas Shower" system that warms the bathroom floor from the feet up. Considerable attention has also been paid to the lighting design, creating a home perfect for relaxation and unwinding.
