Otsu City, Shiga Pref., Japan – $132,000

This charming two-bedroom, century-old Kominka house, sits in a mountain village between Kyoto and Otsu city. It has authentic Japanese elements including a traditional furnace, Goemon-style bath, well, and exposed wooden beams.

The nearest train station is 10 minutes by car, and downtown Kyoto 30-40 minutes away.

Shiga Prefecture, centered around Japan’s largest freshwater lake, Lake Biwa, combines natural beauty with rich historical heritage. The region played a crucial role in feudal Japan and still has numerous medieval castles and temples including the famous Hikone Castle.

The landscape varies from lakeside flatlands to forested mountains, offering opportunities for hiking, water sports, and skiing in winter. The prefecture is known for its distinctive food culture, particularly freshwater fish from Lake Biwa.

The climate has humid summers and relatively mild winters, with the famous cherry blossoms blooming in early April.
