Traditional Kominka with Storehouse in Nakagawa Village, Nagano

This property presents a kominka, a traditional Japanese house, located in Nakagawa Village, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture. The home was previously inhabited by the seller's father and has been maintained with weekly visits for grounds keeping. Due to the increasing difficulty of upkeep, the property is now being offered to someone seeking a tranquil rural lifestyle. The house features a layout that includes two connected Japanese-style rooms, along with five additional Japanese-style rooms, a dining kitchen, and a living room. A notable feature is the inclusion of a kura, or traditional storehouse, on the grounds. The structure is two stories and is constructed from wood. The total land area is approximately 268 tsubo, and the building footprint is roughly 60 tsubo. The property is being sold as-is, with no renovations undertaken, allowing the buyer to freely renovate and customize the home according to their vision. The seller suggests that the spacious land could potentially be used for purposes beyond a residence. The location has limited accessibility, but offers the opportunity for kominka restoration and a peaceful countryside life.
