Shop House Opportunity in Himeji with Existing Rental Income
This unique property in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, presents a versatile opportunity as a combined shop and residence. The building features a 4DK layout with a total floor area of 98.08 square meters and sits on a 188.93 square meter plot. Constructed in December 1974, this two-story wooden structure is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover. A key feature is the shop section, which is offered as a skeleton space, allowing for flexible customization to suit various business or residential needs.
The property is situated along a main road, offering high visibility and accessibility. It is well-equipped for modern living, featuring a system kitchen with a counter and an IH cooktop. The bathroom includes a reheating function and a dryer, while the toilet is fitted with a washlet seat. Indoor amenities comprise a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped door phone, and underfloor heating. The property is all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and comes with parking. Utilities are connected to public water, city gas, sewer, and hot water supply systems.
According to the agent's notes, there is an adjacent monthly parking lot available for 6,000 yen (accommodating two cars in tandem). The seller's contract includes a disclaimer for non-conforming responsibilities. Importantly, there is an unregistered separate house on the east side of the property that is currently rented out for 40,000 yen per month. Since the tenant of that house also rents the adjacent parking lot for 6,000 yen, the net rental income generated is 34,000 yen per month, offering an immediate yield for the purchaser.
The location in Himeji's Hirohataku Nishi Yumesaki area offers convenient daily living, with a Discount Drug Cosmos store and a MaxValu supermarket nearby. For a major cultural excursion, the property is within a reasonable distance of Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most iconic and pristine feudal castles, famously known as the "White Heron Castle" for its elegant white appearance.
