Sprawling Land Parcel with Ocean Views in Yaza, Yaese Town
This expansive land parcel for sale in Yaza, Yaese Town, Okinawa, offers a rare opportunity to own approximately 10,298 square meters (about 3,115.1 tsubo) of land with views of the ocean. The property is designated as "wilderness" (原野) and comes with building conditions attached, making it a prime candidate for a custom development project.
Critical information from the agent's notes must be carefully considered. The land falls under the Natural Parks Act as a Category 2 Special Zone (partially a General Zone). Consequently, construction requires permission from the prefecture (for the Special Zone) and notification is required for the General Zone sections. Furthermore, the Yaese Town Landscape Plan designates this as a Natural Landscape Area, necessitating additional notification for any building. There is also a building height restriction of 8 meters or less. A practical consideration is that a water supply connection project of approximately 280 meters to the main pipeline is required.
The property is located within a 7-minute walk from the Himeyuri Park Entrance bus stop. The transfer of the land is negotiable (引渡応相談).
The surrounding area of Yaese Town is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is its connection to the poignant history of the Himeyuri Student Corps, a group of female students who served as nurses during the Battle of Okinawa, with the Himeyuri Peace Museum located nearby. The closest major landmark is the iconic Gyokusendo Cave, part of the Okinawa World cultural theme park, a stunning natural limestone cavern renowned as one of Japan's longest.
