Spacious Land Plot in Okinawa's Nakijin Village, Ideal for a Yard or Development
This 487 square meter (approximately 147.3 tsubo) plot of land in the Kiji area of Nakijin Village, Okinawa, presents a versatile opportunity for business or residential use. Priced at 9.8 million yen, this vacant land is well-suited for use as a materials storage yard, a business facility, or for constructing a home. The property offers a generous frontage of about 12 meters and is located within a 10-minute walk from the Kiji bus stop.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The land has a height difference on its north side, but leveling the ground can make it widely usable. Crucially, the property is located outside of an urban planning area. This means there is no legal obligation to front a road as defined by the Building Standards Act, and there are no specified building coverage or floor area ratios, offering significant flexibility for development. However, water supply extension work will be required from the front road, a distance of approximately 30 meters. Buyers should also be aware of neighboring features: there is a cemetery on the west side of the property. On the north side, there is a pig farm and another cemetery, though both may currently be out of use.
The area of Nakijin is rich in history and natural beauty, located in the northern part of Okinawa's main island. An interesting historical fact is that Nakijin is home to the UNESCO World Heritage site Nakijin Castle Ruins, a former Ryukyuan gusuku (castle) that offers breathtaking views and a deep connection to the region's past. The property is also within a reasonable driving distance to major tourist attractions like the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and the scenic Kouri Island, making northern Okinawa a popular region for both residents and visitors.
