[65352] Ishin-Cho Machiya | Omi-hachiman City Shiga Pref. | Traditional Japanese Houses for sale

Ishin-Cho Machiya

Omi-hachiman City, Shiga Pref.

This property is located in Shiga Prefecture, known as the “Lake Country” for Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake at its center. It is a machiya facing a historic street of the former Hachiman castle town, developed in the late 16th century. Omi-Hachiman’s old town, with its preserved moat canals, is one of Shiga’s leading tourist destinations, and this property sits close to its core area. Originally built as a large merchant house with a wide frontage, part of the main house is now used for parking with limited structural impact. Facing a park, the location also offers easy access to Lake Biwa, nearby mountains, and Kyoto, making it highly appealing.

An original kaidan-tansu staircase chest remains, preserving the traditional circulation to the second floor. The low ceiling height at the front suggests an even earlier construction date. With an annex, many rooms, and separated water areas, the property is easy to renovate and suitable for both residential and commercial use, such as a shop.

Why KORYOYA houses?

The traditional Japanese houses listed on KORYOYA are all built before 1950 with the traditional construction method.

The traditional method is the result of more than a thousand years of past carpenters passing down their efforts and wisdoms. As no new houses can be built with the traditional construction method under current law, the high craftsmanship is in danger of becoming a dying art.
