A 120-Year-Old Kominka with Storerooms in Nagano's Mountainous Countryside
This property is a historic kominka (traditional Japanese house) built over 120 years ago, located in the lush, mountainous hamlet of Shioo in western Nagano City. The house offers a generous total floor area of 214.87 sqm (approximately 65 tsubo) and features a classic 10DK layout spread across two stories. The interior includes multiple 10-tatami mat Japanese-style rooms, Western-style rooms, and traditional spaces like an earthen-floored entrance area (doma) and an engawa veranda. The property is further enhanced by the presence of a separate kura (traditional storehouse) and a warehouse, providing ample storage or creative space.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment and facilities include propane gas, a public water supply, and electricity. It is also registered with the local Akiya Bank program. A critical special note is that the property is located within a sediment disaster warning zone (steep slopes and landslides). Furthermore, the foundation on the southwest side of the building has become exposed due to soil erosion, and countermeasures are required.
