Renovation Opportunity Near the Shikoku Pilgrimage Route in Sanuki City
This property, located in Sanuki City, Kagawa Prefecture, sits near the historic Shikoku Henro pilgrimage route, between Nagao-ji Temple (Temple 87) and Okubo-ji Temple (Temple 88), the final temple on the circuit. The seller acquired the land with the vision of creating a pilgrim lodging or similar hospitality space, drawn to its position along the walking pilgrimage path. The site is approximately 343 square meters, offering generous space, and is enveloped by a bamboo grove, providing a quiet and secluded atmosphere. Set back slightly from the main road, the location affords privacy, allowing for the creation of a calm and undisturbed environment.
The existing structure is a wooden single-story building constructed in the late Showa 40s (around 1965-1975), with a floor area of 60 square meters and includes a storage shed. The layout is a 2LDK. The building has experienced roof leaks in the past, and the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet (which is a pit latrine type) require a complete overhaul. The property is not habitable in its current state, but it presents a solid base for those looking to undertake a full-scale renovation. The seller has been performing regular maintenance, such as cleaning and weeding, but due to a focus on other business ventures, has decided to sell. The price for the property as-is is 2.2 million yen, or 3 million yen if delivered as a cleared lot. The building is unregistered, so the buyer will be responsible for the registration procedures. The property is sold with no warranty regarding defects. The area is quiet, surrounded by bamboo groves and rice fields, with a bus stop just a one-minute walk away, providing public transport access. The property is listed as for sale.
