A Spacious Traditional Japanese Home in the Tranquil Countryside of Gojo City

This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained traditional Japanese house, or kominka, set within a peaceful and quiet residential area of Gojo City, Nara Prefecture. The estate consists of multiple buildings, offering expansive living space with a total floor area of 290.19 square meters. The layout is exceptionally generous, configured as an 8LDK, providing ample room for large families or multi-generational living.

The property is equipped with an IH cooking heater, a separate bath and toilet, an additional toilet, a bath, electricity, and a water supply. It utilizes a septic tank system and is fully electrified. The home features several traditional Japanese tatami rooms, including one room of 8 tatami mats or larger, and is complemented by a garden. A special note is that the property falls within the Gojo Higashi Elementary School and Gojo Higashi Junior High School districts. There is also adjacent farmland (approximately 1,100 tsubo, or about 3,636 square meters) available for separate negotiation. The buildings are arranged as follows: the first floor contains a Japanese-style room (8-tatami) and a storage room, while the second floor has two Japanese-style rooms (6-tatami each) and another storage room. It is important to note that registration with the Gojo City Akiya Information Bank is required to proceed with this property.

Located in the serene Owacho district, the area offers a relaxed pace of life surrounded by nature. An interesting historical fact about the wider region is that it is part of the ancient Yoshino district, long celebrated in Japanese poetry for its breathtaking cherry blossoms and deep spiritual significance. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Koya (Koyasan) in neighboring Wakayama Prefecture, a sacred site and the headquarters of Shingon Buddhism, accessible for day trips and offering a profound cultural experience.
