This beautiful traditional Japanese house (kominka) is nestled in the scenic mountains of Northern Okayama Prefecture. With 1,010 tsubo (approximately 3,339 square meters) of contiguous land, it includes bamboo groves, farmland, and forest, along with a classical stone-lined well and a pond area, ready to be filled with clear, fresh water—ideal for starting an authentic self-sufficient lifestyle immediately.

The house has some signs of age but is fully livable and ready for immediate occupancy.

The property has already been sold.

While most personal belongings have been cleared out, we intentionally retained historical items, valuable antiques, and finely crafted items essential to the original lifestyle of the home. We hope the new owner enjoys discovering these treasures.

The main house measures a generous 197㎡ according to official records, offering ample space. Additionally, there is one traditional kura (storehouse) and a warehouse.

The exterior gate is constructed in the "Nagaya-mon" style, a traditional and sturdy wooden gate that also serves as storage space. Vehicles as wide as a small kei-car can pass through comfortably.

Upon entering the house from the main entrance, you'll notice the classical interior preserved with traditional materials—no visible plastic or chemical-based items.

The furthest tatami room faces south, allowing abundant natural sunlight to filter through, beautifully illuminating the room with shadows of surrounding trees.

The garden, untended for several years, will become even more beautiful with pruning and care.

North of the house is a bamboo grove offering yearly bamboo shoots. The versatile bamboo can be used for baskets, charcoal, fertilizer, and more.

The kitchen currently shows signs of water damage on the ceiling and flooring, making immediate use difficult. However, the roof has already been repaired, and no leaks have been detected for the past three months.

A traditional tile-covered kamado (Japanese stove) remains intact. With a little restoration, it can be fully functional again—especially valuable considering new units cost over ¥200,000 today.

The bathroom, toilet, and washroom were recently added. Although the toilet isn't equipped with a washlet, it's clean and comfortable.

The washroom wallpaper shows humidity damage but is easily repairable.

The bathtub is surprisingly modern and clean, somewhat out of character with the traditional setting. The water heater system's functionality remains untested, so a buyer will need to activate water and oil systems for verification.

Inside the warehouse, you'll find traditional silk farming tools, old barrels, and farming implements.

The sturdy kura (storehouse) to the east of the home is filled with historical items, including high-quality, handcrafted furniture and fixtures.

Though the kura floor shows moisture damage, its simple construction allows for easy DIY repairs. Upstairs, unseen in photos, are many valuable antiques, such as lacquerware, ceramics, Edo-period letters, and traditional dolls.

The historical stone-lined well provides abundant, crystal-clear water—ideal for domestic use after appropriate purification. A manual or electric pump could easily reduce household water expenses.

Due to inquiries from buyers who couldn't visit in person, we've added extra details.

The gravel-covered parking area comfortably accommodates two vehicles and remains mud-free.

The official land classification is "miscellaneous land."

There's a mature persimmon tree in the parking area, producing abundant, delicious fruit tasted as recently as last autumn.

The garden area is expansive and luxurious, offering ample space to enjoy nature.

The bamboo grove northeast of the house, previously farmland, can easily be returned to farming use.

Bamboo is versatile as fertilizer, charcoal, or firewood.

Within the northern bamboo grove are remnants of old structures, including piles of historical roofing tiles and traces of earlier buildings or storage structures.

The well is conveniently located just outside the kitchen's dirt-floor entrance, making it perfect for cooking or daily chores.
