Spacious Traditional Kominka with Mountain Views in Rural Nagano
Agent notes (translated): The property is a kominka in good structural condition, requiring some interior renovation to suit modern living. The land is partially wooded and includes a small vegetable garden area. The location is very quiet and private, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The house is equipped with a septic system and well water. The roof was re-tiled approximately 15 years ago. The property is ideal for someone seeking a rural retreat, a renovation project, or a potential guesthouse (minpaku) business.
The area is part of the scenic Shinshu region, famous for its apples, soba noodles, and stunning mountain landscapes. An interesting local fact is that this region is home to some of Japan's oldest and most revered sake breweries, thanks to the pristine snowmelt water from the Japanese Alps. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Zenko-ji Temple, one of Japan's most important and popular Buddhist pilgrimage sites, located approximately a 40-minute drive away in Nagano City.
