Takaoka, Toyama

For Christmas, I wanted to share something truly special 🎄🏯.

This rare kominka sits in the very heart of Takaoka City, Toyama, offering something you almost never see in Japan at this price: an entire historic estate with nearly 600㎡ of interior space, just for you.

Originally built in the Meiji era as the home of a tobacco merchant and relocated in the early Showa period, this three-story steel-frame and wooden residence blends deep history with an impressive sense of scale. Inside, spacious tatami rooms connect seamlessly, highlighted by a striking double-height room with massive exposed beams designed to handle heavy winter snow.

The layout is a generous 7SLDK, with seven main rooms plus storage. A Western-style reception room adds a unique touch, reflecting the prestige of the original owners.

At the back of the property, two original kura storehouses face a peaceful inner garden, linked by a wooden deck where time seems to slow down 🌿. A small tea room sits nearby, ideal for quiet moments or tea ceremonies 🍵. The land spans about 759㎡, offering space, privacy and greenery.

Everything is within walking distance: Takaoka Castle Park, the historic Kanayamachi district, shops, and daily conveniences. The nearest train Station is  a 4 km away, connecting you easily to Kanazawa and Tokyo. Parking is available for three or more cars.
