Property Overview in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture

This property is a detached house located in the Daiyu area of Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. The total land area is 212 square meters, with a building area of 190 square meters. The structure is wooden. The property is situated in a quiet, well-maintained settlement of approximately 150 homes, in a rural area known for rice cultivation and hop farming. The location is convenient, along Prefectural Route 13, a two-minute walk from a bus stop that serves the Omori line from Yokote Station. Yokote Station and Omori Station are both approximately a 20-minute drive away. The area is relatively quiet despite being along a public road, as many drivers use the bypass. Registration of inheritance has been completed.

The building has been maintained by the owner, who has visited and stayed regularly since inheriting it in December 2021. The property has been vacant for five years. Partial renovations have been carried out: the toilet was converted to a flush system during an extension, and it is connected to the public sewer system. The floor is concrete, which helps reduce moisture. The building can be rebuilt, and the land can be cleared to construct a new home. There is parking space on the east side (details to be confirmed in photos). Nearby amenities include a supermarket, drugstore, hospital, library, and other daily necessities. The property has been partially renovated. The central part of the building was constructed in 1987, with extensions in 1998. The west side (former shop) and east side (barn) were built in 1964. The property is classified as a rural residential area by Yokote City. The property is sold as-is, based on the public registry. The price is 50,000 yen, which was reduced due to damage found on the edge of the barn roof (the underlayment area, not yet leading to a leak). The property is being sold because the owner, now elderly, finds it difficult to maintain as a second home. The son lives overseas. The interior still contains some belongings, which the buyer is requested to dispose of. The owner has removed items with a truck three times in 2025 (April, June, October). The hot water supply system will require restoration work. The property is in a heavy snowfall area (Yokote Basin), so snow removal may be necessary in winter, though it has not been needed in the last three years. Surveying and boundary confirmation have not been carried out. The property is also intended as an evacuation shelter during natural disasters, as the area is a basin with no tsunami risk and no history of flooding. The building is located on relatively high ground.
