A Coastal Property with Character in Aira City, Kagoshima
This property is located in a residential area of Aira City's Wakimoto district, very close (approximately 200m) to the Shigetomi Fishing Port on the shores of Kinko Bay at the base of the Satsuma Peninsula. Walking 50 to 100 meters east towards the beach through a sports field offers a view of Sakurajima to the south and a coastal walking path. The building itself has an interesting history: in 2004 (Heisei 16), the original 2K layout was expanded by approximately 10.5 tatami mats and otherwise renovated, subsequently serving as a local exhibition space and gallery. While the structure is older and requires maintenance to the roof and walls, it holds potential as a hobby house or creative space.
The property is equipped with propane gas, a public water supply, a septic tank, side ditches, electricity, and a garden. It is situated on a corner lot with road frontage: a 4.5-meter-wide public road to the northeast with 17 meters of frontage, and a 6-meter-wide public road to the southeast with 7 meters of frontage. Special notes highlight the property's good sunlight and parking space for two vehicles. Additional remarks detail that drinking and domestic water is supplied via pumped well water, there is a water channel between the property and the Yasaka Shrine to the south, JR Shigetomi Station is about 600m away (a 7-minute walk), and Super Nishimuta Aira Store is approximately 1100m (a 15-minute walk).
The surrounding area of Aira City offers a blend of coastal living and rural charm. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kinko Bay is a caldera bay formed by a massive volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, the same event that created the iconic Sakurajima volcano, which dominates the southern view from the property. The closest major landmark is the active stratovolcano Sakurajima itself, a symbol of Kagoshima Prefecture and a popular tourist destination accessible by ferry, renowned for its frequent, dramatic plumes of ash.
