Mitsuno Kominka: A Renovated Thatched Farmhouse in the Serene Mountains of Miyama
Located about an hour and a half northwest of central Kyoto, this impressive thatched farmhouse with a traditional irimoya roof sits quietly in the mountains of western Miyama. With ample distance from neighboring homes and a satoyama landscape as its backdrop, it embodies the classic image of rural Japan. Unlike the busy tourist area of "Miyama Kayabuki no Sato," this property lies farther up a valley along a tributary of the Yura River, offering a peaceful setting with little tourist activity.
The main house and annex have been recently renovated for guest use, offering a clean and comfortable stay. Quality materials blend beautifully with traditional craftsmanship, enhanced by modern touches like glass-enclosed verandas and Ryukyu tatami, making the property suitable for a residence, retreat, or lodging. The property is currently operating as a lodging facility. Please note that movable property is not included in the sale.
The property is subject to regulations in the Landscape Planning Area, Miyama-cho area of Nantan City, and Yamazato Natural Area. Warehouses, wilderness, and forests are included in the land. The land rights are ownership, with public water supply, a septic tank sewerage system, propane gas supply, and electricity available. The topography is flat, and it is located outside an urban planning area. A 3.5m wide National village road borders the property on the southwest side for 3.5m. There is no private road burden.
The area offers a deep connection to nature, with the four distinct seasons of Miyama providing a stunning backdrop. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Yura River features shallow, slow-flowing areas perfect for quiet contemplation. The closest major landmark is the famous thatched-roof village of Miyama Kayabuki-no-Sato, a picturesque collection of traditional kominka that offers a glimpse into Japan's rural architectural heritage.
