Tenjin Machiya: A Historic Dual Machiya in Kanazawa's Preserved District

This unique property consists of two adjoining traditional wooden machiya, originally thought to have been separate homes. The larger right-hand structure is believed to date back to the early 19th century during the feudal era, while the left-hand building was originally a storage facility. The right-hand machiya was once home to a family of master carpenters and retains exquisite traditional Kanazawa-style craftsmanship. Both buildings preserve the distinctive 'udatsu'—historic fire-protection side walls that symbolized a household's status.

According to the property notes, the left-hand machiya has been largely renovated except for its exterior and second-floor tatami room. Importantly, it does not have a water area or facilities. The total floor area of the left machiya is 51.23 sqm. The property is located within a 'Komachinami' designated area, which comes with certain restrictions but also support for preservation. Buyers should note the property is in a landslide warning area and is currently vacant. The land is sloping, and there is a setback obligation due to a private road burden. The gas supply is under investigation, but public water, sewer, and electricity are available.
