Investment Opportunity: Military Land Parcel in Kadena Town, Okinawa
This listing presents a unique investment opportunity: a 64-square-meter military land parcel located in the Noguni area of Kadena Town, Okinawa. The land is classified as "miscellaneous land" (雑種地) and is available for immediate transfer. A key feature is its status as military land (軍用地), offering a stable, hands-off investment with no maintenance required. The property is sold directly by the listing company, meaning no brokerage fees are involved, and it can be purchased under a single name. Furthermore, there is an option to purchase two adjacent plots simultaneously.
The agent's special notes provide a compelling financial comparison: If you were to deposit 5.76 million yen in a bank, the annual interest received at a 0.02% rate would be approximately 1,152 yen. In contrast, the annual lease fee (借地料) for this military land for fiscal year Reiwa 6 is 110,604 yen—roughly 96 times the bank interest. This demonstrates that military land provides a stable and significantly higher return compared to traditional savings, making it an ideal "set-and-forget" investment. The lease fee increase rate for fiscal year Reiwa 7 is projected to be approximately 1.04%.
The area of Kadena Town is historically significant and offers a blend of local culture and natural beauty. It is home to the Kadena Air Base, one of the largest and most strategic US Air Force installations in the Asia-Pacific region. A major nearby landmark is the scenic Manzamo cliff formation, located a short drive away in Onna Village. This famous natural attraction offers breathtaking panoramic views of the East China Sea and is a popular spot for tourists and photographers.
