A Historic Kominka in Kofu, Yamanashi
This property is a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house) located in Uteguchi-cho, Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, with a history spanning over 200 years. Originally constructed during the Edo period, the building was once rebuilt, though many of the original materials were preserved and reused. While the main house remains in relatively good condition and is currently in use, a separate outbuilding has sustained significant damage, making immediate use of all structures difficult.
The property's facilities include propane gas, a public water supply, a septic tank, space for a gas stove installation, a separate bath and toilet, a washbasin, an indoor space for a washing machine, and storage space. The road access details note two-sided road frontage (excluding corner lots): a 3.6-meter wide public road to the east with a 10-meter frontage, and a 2.7-meter wide public road to the north with a 10-meter frontage.
Important legal and condition notes are provided. Firstly, among the ancillary buildings other than the main house, the detached residence is severely deteriorated and currently unusable. Other structures also require maintenance due to their age. Secondly, the adjacent land, classified as a field (approximately 3,421.13 sqm), may also be negotiable for transfer, subject to Article 5 permission. The transaction includes a disclaimer of liability for non-conformities and the property is sold 'as-is' regarding fixtures. Legal restrictions apply: the property is within a land readjustment project regulation zone, a sediment disaster alert zone (Yellow Zone), and is subject to both the Kofu City Landscape Plan and the Yamanashi Prefecture Landscape Ordinance.
The area is served by the JR Minobu Line, with Kaimi-Ueno Station approximately 8.3km away. Kofu City, the capital of Yamanashi, is nestled in a valley surrounded by the iconic mountains of the Japanese Alps, offering stunning scenery year-round. A major landmark is the historic Takeda Shrine, dedicated to the famed warlord Takeda Shingen, which is a significant cultural site within the city.
