Real Estate in Kamogawa, Japan

"A typical expat home or apartment in Kamogawa, is often a blend of traditional Japanese and modern Western styles. The living space is usually compact and efficiently designed, with a minimalist aesthetic. The living room might feature a low table and floor cushions, in keeping with Japanese tradition, while the kitchen and bathroom are equipped with modern appliances. The bedroom may have a Western-style bed or a traditional Japanese futon that can be folded and stored away during the day. Many homes also have a small balcony or terrace, which can be used for drying clothes or growing plants. Some apartments may also include a tatami room, a traditional Japanese room with a floor made of straw mats. Despite the compact size, these homes are designed to maximize natural light and often offer beautiful views of the surrounding area," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Kamogawa.
