Otorii Kominka
Chuo City, Yamanashi Pref.
It is a rare three-story Kominka that attracts the eye with its grandeur, combined with the warehouses and living rooms connected to either side of it. The white shutters and plaster walls give it a unique appearance that somewhat resembles a castle facility. The spacious attic storage areas on the second and third floors, as well as the adjacent warehouse, are remnants of the once-thriving sericulture industry in the area, which boasted one of the largest scales in Japan. Additionally, it's worth noting that this property is located north of Mt. Fuji and the Hakone onsen district, and that Tokyo can be reached in approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes by car.
