Cafe Tama no ie is a 130 year old Old Japanese House (Kominka) turned into a house, school, and Farm by Steve from Australia and his wife. Easily found on Google Maps at: Cafe Tama no Ie. Address is: 6134 Wakahohoshina, Nagano, 381-0102. Check them out!
We bought an old Japanese house (Akiya). The abandoned Japanese house is in rural Japan, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Please follow our Akiya renovation and Japanese countryside living. The house is not a Kominka, but it still has old Japanese joinery and Japanese carpentry. I bought a JDM Kei truck AKA Japanese Mini Truck to help clean the previous owner’s property.
We paid $35,000 for the property. It consists of a 2 story house built in 1975, small guest house, large 2 car garage, storage building, and 3/4 acre of land with many fruit trees.
The house seems to be structurally sound, however we will perform an extensive renovation in the entire house. Walls, ceilings, floors will be insulated. New kitchen and bathroom units will be installed. We are even planning on installing a wood burning cast iron stove.
As very common when purchasing an Akiya in Japan, the personal belongings were still in the house. It took multiple trips to the local recycle center to dispose of all the property.
The grounds were overgrown with many weeds and vines (Kuzu). This will take a while to get under control, but it is looking much better around the property, and I think the neighbors are happy to see us cleaning up.
Please follow us as we complete an extensive renovation.
