Vacant Land with Resort Potential in Karuizawa's Miyota Area
This 976.54 square meter (approximately 295.40 tsubo) plot of land is situated in the desirable Karuizawa resort region of Nagano Prefecture. The property is designated as residential land and offers a prime location approximately 900 meters (about a 3-minute drive) from the entrance to the Oasama Golf Club. The current condition of the site is an unused parking lot, providing a blank canvas for development. A key feature is the scenic view of the Yatsugatake mountain range visible from the southwest side of the property.
According to the agent's notes, the property comes with specific conditions. The electrical service is provided by Chubu Electric Power Co. Critically, entry into the property from the northeast side road is not permitted. For a bulk purchase, the land area includes a separate, non-contiguous parcel (飛び地) of 930.93 square meters (public register), located approximately 3.5 meters away from the main plot. The site is paved in its current state and will be delivered as-is. While public water mains are installed on the front road, a separate connection and construction work will be required to bring water onto the land. The property is also located within a sediment disaster warning area (Yellow Zone).
The area is governed by the Nagano Prefecture Landscape Ordinance (Asama Mountain Foothills Landscape Development Priority Area) and local Miyota Town environmental and development guidelines. The plot has a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 100%. Height is restricted to 20 meters or 6 stories, with required setbacks from road and neighboring boundaries.
The surrounding Karuizawa and Miyota area is renowned for its cool summers, beautiful nature, and status as a premier highland resort. An interesting fact is that Karuizawa became a popular summer retreat for foreign diplomats and the Japanese elite in the late 19th century after being discovered by a Canadian missionary. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Asama, an active volcano and one of Japan's most famous peaks, which dominates the skyline and offers spectacular views from many points in the region.
