Full description
This is a detached house property located in Kumashina, Himi City. Kumashina, together with the adjacent Ronda area, is affectionately known as "Ronkuma" by locals. Ronkuma has been designated as a model area in Toyama Prefecture for accepting newcomers and has established systems to welcome migrants as residents, making it one of the most accessible areas to move to within Himi. In 2026, a lodging facility called "Ronkuma no Ie" offering immigration experience will open, so those considering a move are encouraged to visit. Clarity about rural living is guaranteed. Now, let us present this property. First and foremost, the outstanding potential of the "entrance," the face of the house, cannot be overlooked. Opening the lattice door, which serves as an accent to the exterior, reveals a surprisingly sophisticated space. At ground level lies a spacious entryway with polished black tiles. It exudes the serene atmosphere of a small gallery. The entrance step (kamachi) is too precious to serve merely as a shoe-removal area. Sit and chat with neighbors while receiving their gifts, or display seasonal branches on your favorite stool. Simply standing here fills you daily with a small sense of pride, "Ah, I've come home to a good house." It is such a special welcoming space. Built in Showa 37, the building has undergone regular renovations, so the interior and fixtures are relatively well-maintained, another characteristic of this property. The building retains the essence of traditional Japanese architecture; windows are generously sized and living spaces receive abundant natural light. You'll have no shortage of rooms where enjoying coffee bathed in sunlight feels just right. Distance from urban clamor, awakening to birdsong, the picture-perfect rural life awaits you. Please visit in person to open those beautiful lattice doors.
