The Gorgeous Old Kominka Homes & Other Charms of Matsumoto City's Shiga AreaKominka houses are the beautiful, old-fashioned Japanese homes that many travelers imagine when they think of Japanese architecture. They often have tatami mat floors or thatched roofs, and long, sturdy beams that run across the length of the house, holding up the roof with the power of one long-felled tree. Kominka are wonderful examples of the cultural treasures produced and preserved by hundreds of years of Japanese history, but most modern citizens tend to go for modern architecture and newly built houses these days, which means that there are fewer and fewer of these old-fashioned homes around every year. That's why it was such a treat for the JAPANKURU team to travel to Matsumoto City in Nagano this fall, and spend a few days engaging in some agritourism and exploring all the charming nooks and crannies of the picturesque kominka being restored and utilized in the city's Shiga area.
