Funahashi Kominka
Funahashi Village, Toyama Pref.
Only a 7 minutes walk to the nearby station, this one-floor Kominka features a well-balanced exterior, plenty of rooms and storage, and spacious grounds. Its flat layout makes it easy to move around, reducing the burden for elderly residents. Practical updates include a sunroom-style entrance porch to block cold winds and snow, along with modern flooring in the kitchen and water areas for added comfort. A highlight is the large room by the entrance, showcasing Toyama’s traditional “Waku-no-uchi” style with an open ceiling, thick beams, and sturdy columns built to withstand heavy snowfall. The home sits in Funabashi Village, Japan’s smallest municipality, surrounded by farmland yet known for its strong support of childcare and relocation—giving it one of the country’s highest youth and population growth rates. Just 20~25 minutes by train or car from Toyama Station (Shinkansen hub), the location offers both convenience and nature, with nearby hot springs, campgrounds, beaches, golf courses, sports parks, and hiking trails.
