Spacious Development Land with Future Potential in Okinawa's Yaese Town
This expansive plot of land for sale in the Shitahaku area of Yaese Town, Okinawa, presents a significant opportunity for development. The property is a large, cleared field (approx. 22,237 sqm / 6,726.7 tsubo) situated on sloping terrain. It is located within an Urbanization Control Area and is currently designated as farmland. A critical piece of information from the agent's notes is that an application for removal from the Agricultural Promotion Area (農振地除外申請) was submitted to Yaese Town as of May 2025, with approval expected by September 2027. This future change in designation is a crucial factor for potential buyers.
The land offers a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. While currently in an Urbanization Control Area, the agent notes that consultations are possible regarding development activities for residential areas, factories, or facilities. The sale is negotiable, and while priority may be given to buyers interested in purchasing the entire lot, subdivision (分筆) for partial sale is also a possibility for discussion. The property is easily accessible, located just a 6-minute walk from the Shitahaku-guchi bus stop.
Yaese Town in southern Okinawa offers a blend of local community life and natural scenery. An interesting historical fact about the area is that it is home to the famous "Gyokusendo" cave system, one of the longest in Japan, formed over 300,000 years ago. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Nakagusuku Castle Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage site located a short drive away, offering panoramic views and a deep dive into Ryukyuan history.
