Spacious Land Parcel in the Serene Kikyogaoka Pension Village of Katashina
This 802 square meter (approximately 242.6 tsubo) land parcel is situated within the tranquil Kikyogaoka Pension Village in the heart of Katashina Village, Gunma Prefecture. The property is designated as forest and wilderness land on a gentle slope, offering a peaceful, green environment surrounded by pensions and vacation homes. The southern side fronts onto a paved private road approximately 2.5 meters wide, though the owner of this road is unknown.
Essential utilities are available: electricity is present, and a private water supply connection is possible. However, connection must be arranged through the Kikyogaoka Water Committee, which designates the contractor for the work. The seller will cover the water membership fee up to 500,000 yen (for a 13mm connection), but the buyer is responsible for the separate connection construction costs. A combined septic tank (jōkasō) is required. The property is located outside of urban planning zones and is subject to the Forest Law, the Katashina Village Beautiful Landscape Preservation and Cultivation Ordinance, and the Gunma Prefecture Water Source Area Conservation Ordinance.
Additional notes include an annual Kikyogaoka membership fee of 20,000 yen. The area provides a perfect retreat, with the nearby 'Hanasaki no Yu' hot spring facility, featuring indoor and open-air baths, offering a perfect place to relax both body and mind. Daily necessities require a short drive, with Marui Store approximately 8km away, a convenience store about 9.6km, a home center (Komeri) 8.3km, and the post office 9.9km. Medical facilities and the village office are roughly 12km distant. Access from Tokyo is via the Kan-Etsu Expressway, taking about 2.5 hours from the Numata Interchange, which is approximately 23.6km from the site.
The surrounding Katashina area is renowned for its pristine natural beauty, being a gateway to Oze National Park, a vast highland marshland famous for its seasonal flowers and hiking trails. This national park is a major draw for nature enthusiasts and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, making it a premier tourist destination within easy reach of this property.
