Niigata 8DK: Space to Dream, $109K!

A Fully Renovated Kominka: Big Space, Small Price!

8DK layout, modern upgrades, ready to move in

Nearly 1,000 sqm of land + large garage/workshop

700m to train, 4-car parking, triple road access

Sold by company: smooth, supported transaction

Set in the quiet countryside of Niigata’s Nishikanbara region, this spacious 8DK kominka is the kind of place that makes you wonder why more people aren’t looking here. It’s big, it’s bright, it’s fully renovated, and it’s listed at just ¥13.8 million (as of July 2025, that's around $109,000 USD).

That's not a typo. This isn't a fixer-upper that needs a new roof and a dozen weekends of sweat equity. This kominka was renovated in March 2025 and it shows.

✨ Traditional Soul, Modern Comfort

From the outside, it has all the character you'd expect from a Japanese country house built in the 1960s: broad eaves, rustic wooden lines, and deep-set proportions. But step inside, and you’re in for a surprise.

• Four beautiful tatami rooms, light-filled and inviting

• A modern kitchen and dining space, easy to cook in and easy to clean

• Two brand-new vanity units, plus a sleek unit bath and a separate toilet for comfort and convenience

• Western-style rooms, ideal for sleeping, lounging, or setting up a home office

• Tons of hidden corners, perfect for work, hobbies, or guests looking for a little quiet

And that’s just the main house. Out back, there's a massive detached garage and storage house that could easily become a workshop, bike barn, creative studio, or simply your personal overflow space.

📍 Location Perks: Walkable, Driveable, Livable

You’re just 700 meters from Minami Yoshida Station on the Echigo Line — a quick, walkable trip when you need to hop on the train. Prefer to drive? There's parking for up to four cars.

Despite the quiet setting, you're still close to local amenities, and the house sits on a well-connected triple road frontage for easy access.

🌾 Why Niigata? Think Big (and Bright)

Niigata is known throughout Japan for its Koshihikari rice, and that rich agricultural heritage shows in its real estate: large plots, well-built homes, and room to breathe. This property has nearly 1,000 sqm of land, more than double the size of most suburban lots.

Of course, that space comes with some upkeep. Expect to do seasonal yard work or weed control, and the garage and annex will need some maintenance over time. But with a solid main house and a fresh interior, you’re starting from a strong place.
