Historic Meiji-Era Stone Warehouse for Lease in Otaru
This unique property is a renovated stone warehouse originally built in the Meiji era, offering a rare opportunity to occupy a piece of Otaru's industrial history. The building has undergone comprehensive renovations including foundation repairs, roof re-tiling, and partial insulation upgrades. Essential utilities are in place: electricity has already been connected, and water and sewer connections are scheduled to be installed at the landlord's expense.
The facilities include water supply, sewerage, and electricity. Special notes indicate the premises are suitable for restaurant use and are available for 24-hour operation. It is important to clarify a discrepancy in the listed construction date: while the system displays the year as 1927 (Showa 2), the building was actually constructed in 1904 (Meiji 37).
Located in Otaru's historic Sakaimachi district, the area is famous for its beautifully preserved canal and stone-built warehouses that now house glassworks, museums, and cafes. A major landmark just a short walk away is the Otaru Canal, a picturesque waterway lined with old warehouses and gas lamps, offering a nostalgic atmosphere that attracts visitors year-round.
