A Historic Property in Niigata's Countryside
This unique property in Niigata City's Nishikan Ward offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Originally built in 1882 as a soy sauce brewery, this renovated kominka (traditional Japanese house) spans over 717 square meters and features a distinctive 8SDK layout. The building retains its historical character while incorporating modern comforts, including a recent renovation completed in January 2025.
The area of Fukui in Nishikan Ward is known for its serene, rural landscape. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Jo-nnobi-kan hot spring facility is built around a natural spring that was historically used by farmers for relaxation after working in the rice fields. The closest major landmark is the Echigo Plain, one of Japan's largest rice-producing regions, which offers stunning views of expansive paddies against a backdrop of distant mountains.
