A Traditional Japanese Kominka with Farmland in Akaiwa, Okayama
This property is a classic Japanese kominka (old folk house) surrounded by peaceful rural scenery. The building's construction period is approximate. The house exhibits some signs of age, including roof leaks and floor damage. Notably, the toilet is a pit latrine (kumitori) system. The land details are as follows: residential land of 534.39 sqm, rice paddy fields of 2569 sqm, and cultivated fields of 309 sqm.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled kominka with significant attached farmland, totaling 2396.39 sqm. The main building itself offers 170.80 sqm of living space with a 6K layout. The property includes two or more parking spaces and is situated on a quiet, south-facing corner plot. It comes equipped with city gas, a system kitchen, two toilet locations, a reheating function for the bath, features suitable for multi-generational living, and a monitor-equipped intercom. Remarkably, the sale includes a tractor and a small cultivator, allowing for immediate commencement of agricultural activities.
The property is located in Akaiwa City, Okayama Prefecture, an area known for its natural beauty and traditional atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that Okayama Prefecture is famously called the "Land of Sunshine" due to its low annual rainfall and abundant sunny days. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, approximately a 40-minute drive away, renowned for its beautifully preserved Edo-period merchant houses and canals.
