Sprawling 400-Tsubo Land Plot with Historic Kominka Near the Shin-Tomei Expressway in Hadano

This substantial land offering in Hadano City, Kanagawa Prefecture, presents a rare opportunity on a plot of approximately 400 tsubo (1,322.32 sqm). The property is in close proximity to the Shin-Tomei Expressway's "Hadano Tanzawa Interchange," providing excellent highway access. The land currently features an existing, historic kominka (traditional Japanese house) built in April 1894, which is in tangible, visible condition.

According to the agent's notes, the property's facilities include running water and electricity. The listing encourages consultation for a variety of potential uses, including transforming the kominka into a soba noodle shop or cafe, using the space for vehicle parking, agriculture, a campsite, or glamping facilities. The possibility of renovating the old house to enjoy a slow life while engaging in soba making or farming is also mentioned. The property was previously used for dairy farming.

The property is offered for lease with specific financial terms: a security deposit of 3 months' rent and no key money. A rental guarantee through "Eld's Support" is required. The initial guarantee commission is 100% of the total monthly rent, with a monthly administrative fee of 330 yen and an annual (renewal) guarantee fee of 10% of the total monthly rent. A short-term cancellation penalty applies for contracts terminated within one year, amounting to 3 months' rent.

The Hadano area, nestled against the Tanzawa Mountains, offers a blend of natural beauty and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the city is a major producer of green soybeans (edamame) in Japan. The property is within a reasonable distance of the iconic Mount Oyama, a sacred mountain with a historic shrine and cable car, offering hiking trails and spectacular views that attract many visitors.
