![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe5th4HdgEYhbPSutBdTRoqpC0KIljyzax9w6s)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 the **price dropped** from around $109,000 USD to **¥13.8M (\~$82,000) in August, 2026**.

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.

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.

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.

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.
