Traditional Wooden Home in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture
The property is managed through the local government's vacant house bank initiative, and the city will connect interested parties with a real estate agent to facilitate the purchase. The asking price is set at 21,950,000 yen. The current status is vacant, and the handover timing is open for consultation.
Nomi City is situated in the southern part of Ishikawa Prefecture, nestled within the rich natural environment of the Kaga Plain, the Tedori River, and the Sea of Japan. The area is famously known as the birthplace of Kutani-yaki, a traditional style of Japanese porcelain, and is home to many skilled artisans. Residents and visitors can enjoy experiences like Kutani-yaki painting. Despite national trends of population decline, Nomi City has seen steady population growth, boasting the highest proportion of young people under 14 in the prefecture, thanks to its top-class child-rearing support policies. In fact, it was ranked number one in Japan in a 2015 survey for the number of new residents welcomed.
An interesting local fact is that Nomi City's total fertility rate of 1.73 significantly outpaces both the national and prefectural averages. The closest major landmark is the iconic Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan's Three Great Gardens, located approximately 25 kilometers north in the city of Kanazawa.
