Spacious Land Parcel in Muroran, Hokkaido
This listing presents a substantial land parcel of 4,482.00 square meters (approximately 1,355.80 tsubo) located in the Osawa-cho 3-chome area of Muroran City, Hokkaido. The land is designated as forest land within a City Planning Area's Category I Residential Zone, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The site is currently vacant land (更地) and is situated on a sloping terrain. There are no specific building conditions attached to the sale, and the transfer of ownership is available upon consultation.
Critical information from the agent's notes must be highlighted: the property has a special remark stating "接道義務を満たしていないため再建築不可." This translates to "Rebuilding is not permitted because the property does not meet the road frontage obligation." This is a crucial legal and practical constraint, meaning that while the land is for sale, obtaining permission to construct a new building on it may not be possible due to insufficient legal access to a public road. Prospective buyers must conduct thorough due diligence regarding this point.
The area of Muroran is an industrial port city on Hokkaido's southern coast, known for its dramatic coastal scenery and the iconic Muroran Bridge (室蘭港白鳥大橋). An interesting local fact is that Muroran is home to one of Japan's major steelworks, which has historically shaped the city's economy and skyline. The closest major landmark from this property is likely the scenic Cape Chikyu (地球岬), a famous lookout point offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and a designated place with one of Japan's "100 Best Views."
