Vast South-Facing Woodland with Direct Highway Access in Fukushima
This expansive 48,566 square meter (approximately 14,691 tsubo) woodland parcel offers a rare opportunity for a variety of uses, from creating a private retreat to developing a solar power generation site. Strategically located directly behind the Soma-Yamakami Interchange of the Tohoku Chuo Expressway, which fully opened in 2021, the property benefits from dramatically improved road access connecting the Nakadori and Hamadori regions of Fukushima.
The land is a south-west facing slope, ensuring excellent sunlight exposure throughout the day. The forest is primarily composed of cedar trees, with a mix of chestnut, red pine, fir, bamboo, and assorted hardwoods. The property fronts a paved public road approximately 3 meters wide on its south-west side. Essential utilities include access to electricity; however, a well would need to be drilled and a Johkasou (combined septic tank) system installed for water and wastewater management.
Conveniently, the vibrant Soma city center is only about a 15-minute drive away, providing easy access for daily shopping needs. The property is situated outside of urban planning zones and is subject to the National Land Use Planning Act, the Erosion Control Act, the Forest Act, and the Fukushima Prefecture Landscape Ordinance.
The surrounding Soma region is rich in coastal culture and history, famously known for the thrilling Soma Nomaoi, a 1,000-year-old samurai festival featuring wild horse racing that is designated a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. A major landmark easily accessible from this location is the stunning Matsukawaura Lagoon, a scenic body of water known for its serene beauty and importance to local wildlife.
