Myo-ji Kominka: A Spacious Traditional House in Historic Katsuragi Town

This property, known as the Myo-ji Kominka, is a traditional Japanese house located in the town center of Katsuragi, Wakayama Prefecture. Originally an agricultural village, Myo-ji historically prospered as a transit point on the Yamato Kaido road connecting Wakayama and Nara. The kominka itself resembles a hall and has been remodeled and extended over later generations. It offers many rooms and parking space, presenting a property with significant potential. The house comes with basement storage, adding to its utility.

The property is equipped with public water supply, a pit toilet, propane gas, and available electricity. The land rights are ownership, and the sewerage system is a pit toilet. The adjacent road on the north side is the public road Myo-ji No. 12 line, which is approximately 2.0 meters wide. The property is currently vacant.

Located in the town center, daily life is convenient. The area is rich in attractions, being close to the World Heritage Site of Mount Koya (Koyasan), as well as an athletic park, hot springs, and campgrounds. By car, downtown Wakayama city and Kansai International Airport are both accessible in less than an hour. An interesting historical fact about the region is that the Yamato Kaido was one of the ancient highways of Japan, used for centuries by pilgrims, traders, and feudal lords traveling between the cultural heartland of Nara and the coastal prefecture of Wakayama.
