[65349] Nagara Kominka | Tenri City Nara Pref. | Traditional Japanese Houses for sale

Nagara Kominka

Tenri City, Nara Pref.

The Nagara settlement in the eastern Nara Basin is an ancient area said to be one of the birthplaces of Japan, appearing even in early mythology. In the medieval period, it survived turbulent times as an autonomous moated settlement. Its clustered homes rising like an island amid wide rice fields, along with sturdy buildings featuring earthen walls and storehouses, reflect that long history. Today, the settlement remains quiet and lined with traditional kominka, with burial mounds and walking trails nearby. It offers convenient access—about 30 minutes to central Nara and just over an hour to Osaka or Kansai International Airport.

Many of the main and auxiliary buildings date from before the 19th century, forming a large kominka with numerous rooms and multiple kura storehouses. Rare for a former moated settlement, it also offers a spacious garden, open grounds, and rental-income potential from its parking area.

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.
