Residential Land Plot in Kurashiki's Historic Port District
This residential land plot, located in the Tamashima 2-chome area of Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, offers a substantial 507.99 square meters (approximately 153.67 tsubo) of developable space. The property is situated in a City Planning Area designated as an Urbanization Promotion Area, with a land use district of Category I Exclusive Residential, permitting a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 160%. The topography is flat, and the land shape is described as a flagpole lot, which often provides privacy from the main road.
Critical agent notes have been translated and provide essential details for prospective buyers. The property is equipped with city gas, water supply, sewerage, side ditches, and electricity. Special notes indicate road frontage is on a 2.9-meter wide public road to the west. The property is to be transferred in its current state, though removal of a prefabricated hut on the site is negotiable. The effective usable area is 452 square meters (136.73 tsubo). Important buyer responsibilities include covering the costs for notifications under the Agricultural Land Act Article 5, as the plot is in a land readjustment regulation zone requiring notifications or permits at the buyer's expense. The cost for connecting the water supply is also the buyer's responsibility, though rights for a 13mm connection exist. A setback is required for the road-facing portion. An extended portion of the land will be transferred free of charge. There is a possibility that the plot falls within the school district for Otoshima Elementary School.
The Tamashima district is a historically significant port area within Kurashiki, known for its charming canal-lined streets and traditional merchant houses, offering a glimpse into the Edo period. The area provides a peaceful residential atmosphere with convenient local amenities. A major nearby landmark is the iconic Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, famous for its beautifully preserved white-walled warehouses and willow-lined canal, approximately a 15-minute drive away, offering museums, shops, and a deep cultural experience.
