Land for Sale in Ashikaga, Tochigi: A Development Opportunity in a Historic City
This 330 square meter plot of land, designated as forest land within a City Planning Area of Adjustment, presents a prime development opportunity in the historic city of Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture. Priced at 4.9 million yen, the property is situated on a corner lot with road frontage on two sides: a 6.5-meter public road to the south and a 4.1-meter private road (with shared ownership) to the east.
Critical agent notes specify important considerations for potential development. A development permit is required for this project. The land will be delivered as a cleared site (the existing old structure will be demolished). Furthermore, the installation of a septic tank (jōkasō) is necessary, though a water supply connection is already available on-site. The property has a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
Ashikaga City is renowned for its deep historical roots and cultural attractions, most notably the Ashikaga Gakko, considered Japan's oldest academic institution. The area is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, including the Watarase River, and is famous for its wisteria blooms. A key nearby landmark is the Ashikaga Flower Park, celebrated for its magnificent, centuries-old wisteria trees and stunning seasonal illuminations, drawing visitors from across the country.
