Arcadia Kusatsu: A Prime Investment Opportunity in a Renowned Hot Spring Town
This 4th-floor apartment in the Arcadia Kusatsu complex presents a compelling investment opportunity in one of Japan's most famous hot spring destinations. The property is a 2K layout with a total floor area of 30.84 sqm, featuring a Japanese-style room (6 tatami mats) and a Western-style room (5.9 tatami mats). It benefits from a south-facing balcony, underfloor heating, and is located within a well-equipped 12-story building with an elevator, auto-lock security, and all-electric appliances.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for investors. The property is currently tenanted under a fixed-term lease agreement, with the contract set to expire at the end of February 2028. The current monthly rent is 70,000 yen, with a security deposit equivalent to one month's rent. This generates a surface yield of 12%. It is crucial to note that this surface yield is calculated as the ratio of the annual scheduled rental income to the property purchase price, and it does not deduct public charges, management fees, or other maintenance costs. The yield and rent are not guaranteed figures. The property is an owner-change listing, and as it is currently occupied, interior viewings are not possible. The construction company for the building was Nagano Construction Co., Ltd. For those interested in viewing the building's large communal bath, visits are only permitted between 12:00 and 15:00.
Located in the heart of Kusatsu, Gunma Prefecture, this property offers more than just a solid rental return. The area is world-famous for its abundant, high-quality hot springs, with the iconic Yubatake ("Hot Water Field") at its center. Kusatsu Onsen is consistently ranked among Japan's top hot spring resorts, renowned for its therapeutic waters. The property is a short walk from the Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal, providing convenient access. A unique local fact is that Kusatsu's acidic, sulfurous waters are so potent that they are traditionally cooled by a unique method of stirring called "yumomi" rather than by adding cold water.
