Tochihara Kominka
Eiheiji Town, Fukui Pref.
This Meiji-era Kominka, built in 1907, is nestled in the tranquil countryside of Fukui and sits on an expansive plot of over 20,000 sqm, including residential and forested land. Thoughtful architectural elements—like the "earthen edge" snow passageway and the covered corridor leading to the storehouse—showcase the wisdom of past generations. The house has also been renovated in recent years, with elegant upgrades including a fireplace for comfort and charm. Located in the peaceful village of Tochihara, known for its pure, delicious spring water, the home offers both serenity and convenience. It's just off a main road, with quick access to the historic Zen temple Eiheiji, nearby ski resorts, and the renowned Dinosaur Museum. Fukui Station, now on the Shinkansen line, is under 30 minutes away by car.
