Unique Concrete Shelter Property in Aomori City
This property, purchased several years ago as a secret base and shelter in Aomori City, is now being sold due to the owner's acquisition of another property. The site is enclosed by concrete walls, within which stands a reinforced concrete building originally constructed as a telephone exchange facility. Such small-scale facilities are extremely rare nationwide, offering versatile use as a private room, valuables storage, or shelter.
The building measures approximately 10 square meters, comprising a 2-tatami room upon entry leading to a 4-tatami room beyond. It currently contains desks and a simple bed, which will be partially cleared before handover. The property has served for overnight stays and even as a COVID-19 recovery space. Notably, no insects enter the building even in summer. Electricity is not contracted; lamps have been used instead. With a lockable door, it is ideal for storing valuables.
Located on elevated ground with reinforced concrete construction, the building is impervious to tornadoes. The owner suggests it could also serve as a refuge in the event of missile threats, describing it as a true above-ground shelter. The concrete-paved ground within the walls allows some plant growth but limits it significantly. A gate exists between the road and walls but has been kept chained; entry was achieved by stepping over it for security reasons. Parking space can be created in front of the gate with improvements, or temporary roadside parking is possible. The property is less than 2 kilometers from a station, near a fishing port and seaside park, with a visible bus stop on a frequent route between the city center and Asamushi Onsen. Annual fixed property tax is approximately 11,000 yen.
Property Summary: Land of approximately 33 tsubo with an old building. Building area is about 10 square meters. Construction is reinforced concrete. Condition is villa-like. Asking price is 800,000 yen. Transaction is as-is, based on registry records.
