Announcing Japan’s First One-Stop Service for Purchasing, Restoring, and Managing Traditional Wooden Homes for Affluent Overseas Clients
KYOTO, Japan--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Nakagawa Juken Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Nakagawa Juken”) today announces the launch of a comprehensive service that offers the purchase, restoration, and operational management of traditional Japanese wooden houses (commonly known as “kominka”) in the historic city of Kyoto. This initiative provides high-net-worth international clients with the opportunity to own a luxurious kominka, thereby enhancing their status. In collaboration with local government agencies (Kyoto Prefecture) and regional financial institutions, Nakagawa Juken guarantees transactions that are both secure and transparent.

Kominka are wooden structures built using traditional Japanese architectural methods, and those over 100 years old are especially rare and highly sought after. However, purchasing and renovating such properties can present numerous challenges for international buyers, including complex procedures, unique business customs in Japan, and structural issues inherent to kominka.
To address these issues, Nakagawa Juken provides comprehensive one-stop support services, encompassing every step from purchase to eventual utilization. These services include:
- Interpretation support
- Legal checks by international attorneys
- Purchase and sale of kominka properties
- Restoration of kominka properties
- Turnkey guesthouse management after purchase
- Maintenance and upkeep support for the property
- Engagement with local communities for guesthouse operations, such as employing local human resources, featuring regional cuisine, and collaborating on local festivals to invigorate the neighborhood
By acquiring one of these luxurious kominka properties in historic Kyoto and integrating local community participation, high-net-worth individuals can establish a new form of status and asset.
This project also creates a unique opportunity for international owners to preserve and pass down valuable kominka homes to the next generation. Many of these historic wooden houses face demolition due to factors such as Japan’s aging population, declining birth rate, and a shortage of skilled traditional carpenters. Nakagawa Juken aims to offer a distinctive experience and investment opportunity to those with an interest in Japan’s historic architecture, starting in Kyoto Prefecture and eventually expanding nationwide.
