1960s wood house in Toyama

From the listing

Property Report: This is a detached house located in Kumamu, Himi City. Kumamu, together with the adjacent Ronda, is known affectionately to locals as 'Ronkuma' and is designated as Toyama Prefecture's model immigration acceptance region with systems in place to welcome migrants as residents, making it one of the easier areas to settle in within Himi. In 2026, a lodging facility called 'Ronkuma no Ie' opened offering immigration experience stays; if you are considering relocation, we strongly encourage you to try it. Beyond Ronkuma alone, your understanding of rural living will certainly become crystal clear. Now let us proceed with introducing this property. First, when discussing this property, one absolutely cannot overlook the high potential of the 'entrance', the face of the house. Opening the lattice door that accents the exterior reveals a remarkably refined space. Underfoot lies a spacious earthen floor of polished black tiles, emanating an air of quiet serenity like a small gallery. The entry step is too fine a place to use only for removing shoes. Neighbors visit to chat while seated, sharing treats; you might place a favorite stool and display seasonal branches. Simply standing here brings a daily sense of modest pride: 'Ah, I've come home to a fine house', a truly special reception space. Though built in 1962, the building has undergone periodic renovations, so the interior finish and equipment are relatively well-maintained, a notable feature of this property. The building retains the character of traditional Japanese architecture; windows are generous, and natural sunlight enters the rooms abundantly. There is no shortage of rooms where sipping coffee bathed in sunlight feels just right. Leaving behind urban noise, you await a picture-perfect country life awakening to birdsong. First, come visit the site in person and open those beautiful lattice doors.
