A Spacious Hot Spring Subdivision at the Gateway to Teshikaga Town
This property is a hot spring subdivision located in a rural area approximately 2.4km southeast of Mashu Station in Teshikaga Town, Hokkaido. The area is characterized by the flowing Nita River and is positioned at the town's gateway, where National Route 391 and the Senmō Main Line run parallel, leading towards Shibecha. National Route 391, colloquially known as the Pilot Highway, connects to major routes heading east to Nakashibetsu and Betsukai, and south to Shibecha. The subdivision consists of approximately 20 lots with hot spring rights, situated south of this national highway. Several new residential buildings are already present, indicating a growing community.
The lots range in size from 117 tsubo (approx. 387 sqm) to 230 tsubo (approx. 760 sqm), each fronting a 6-meter wide paved municipal road. A key attraction is the absence of management fees for the land itself. The hot spring usage fee is a separate monthly charge of 12,000 yen. For those seeking more space, purchasing multiple adjacent lots is a negotiable option.
According to the agent's notes, the property is classified as forest land on flat terrain. The site area is 690.98 sqm (209.02 tsubo). It fronts a paved public road approximately 6 meters wide on the west side. The location is outside urban planning area designation lines and is not within a specified use district. The building coverage ratio is 60% and the floor area ratio is 100%. Available utilities include electricity, public water supply, and a required combined septic tank (juken). The property is subject to the Teshikaga Landscape Plan.
The surrounding area of eastern Hokkaido is renowned for its pristine natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that nearby Lake Mashū is considered one of the clearest lakes in the world, often completely free of visibility-impairing plankton. The closest major tourist attraction is the magnificent Lake Kussharo, Japan's largest caldera lake, famous for its hot spring beaches and outdoor activities, located just a short drive away.
