Awano Kominka

Kyotamba Town, Kyoto Pref.

Located about an hour by car from central Kyoto, the mountain hamlet of Awano sits in a peaceful valley surrounded by farmland. Historically an important route linking Kyoto and the Tango region, the area remains conveniently accessible via national highways and expressways. This thatched kominka, protected by red steel roofing, stands near the main road and benefits from this connectivity. Though its construction date is unknown, the main house reflects traditional farmhouse architecture dating back to before the 19th century. Uniquely, it includes an elevated Western-style annex with a wooden terrace overlooking the countryside. As farmland is included, purchase requires approval, making it ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle blending Japanese and Western living.

Despite some renovations, the house retains its traditional layout of an earthen-floor passage and tatami rooms, along with original features such as a functioning well and an outdoor toilet.

Why KORYOYA houses?

The traditional Japanese houses listed on KORYOYA are all built before 1950 with the traditional construction method.

The traditional method is the result of more than a thousand years of past carpenters passing down their efforts and wisdoms. As no new houses can be built with the traditional construction method under current law, the high craftsmanship is in danger of becoming a dying art.
