According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes access to propane gas, electricity, a water supply, and a septic tank (jokaso). Several important special notes are provided: The ownership share for lot Hei 303-100 (23/237) will be transferred free of charge. A 20cm-wide water channel runs along the property.

The surrounding area of Toon City is known for its serene, rural atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery. An interesting local fact is that Toon City is part of the Dogo hot spring region, home to Dogo Onsen Honkan—one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot spring baths, which is said to have inspired the bathhouse in the Studio Ghibli film 'Spirited Away'. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Matsuyama Castle, a stunning original castle perched atop Mount Katsuyama in nearby Matsuyama City, easily accessible for day trips.
