Rare Investment Land in Ishigaki's Premier Resort Area
This exceptional land parcel, spanning 3,744.99 square meters in the scenic Kabira area of Ishigaki City, Okinawa, represents a unique and increasingly scarce investment opportunity. The property is situated on agricultural land (field) within an "Agricultural Promotion Area Exclusion Zone," meaning it is sold with the condition that the land category will be changed to wilderness or miscellaneous land through an Agricultural Land Law application. Critically, the seller will bear the cost for the Article 4 application under the Agricultural Land Law, which has already been completed, streamlining the process for the buyer.
The property's location is its most compelling feature. It is a gently sloping plot facing the sea, with essential infrastructure including a water supply already in place. Utilities are provided by propane gas and city water. Just 170 meters northeast of the property, a mere 5-minute walk, lies the locally famous "Crystal Beach." This popular spot among locals and tourists features developed coral reefs and becomes a premier marine destination bustling with swimmers from both the island and beyond during the summer. This natural drawing power makes the location exceptionally suited for a variety of resort-oriented developments.
Additional remarks provide further context: the site is approximately 20 km (a 30-minute drive) from the central 730 intersection of the urban area. The status as a rare "Agricultural Promotion Area Exclusion Zone" in this region means buildings such as villas, mini-hotels, and other structures can be built relatively freely, offering high development flexibility for resort projects. The combination of a seaside slope, completed infrastructure, and proximity to a major tourist beach creates a location with outstanding natural appeal for vacation homes, mini-hotels, glamping facilities, and more.
The area surrounding Kabira Bay is renowned for its stunning emerald-green waters and is a protected cultural landscape. A notable landmark is the iconic Kabira Bay itself, famous for its glass-bottom boat tours offering views of coral and marine life, making it one of Ishigaki Island's top tourist attractions.
