Spacious Residential Plot in Uto City, Kumamoto
This 372.11 square meter (approximately 112.56 tsubo) vacant residential plot is located in the quiet, green residential area of Nozuru-cho in Uto City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The property is a corner lot with excellent southern exposure and sunlight, as there are no buildings on the adjacent southern side. It is conveniently situated within a 5-minute walk from JR Midorikawa Station on the Misumi Line and within a 10-minute walk of a local elementary school. The area is known for its low traffic volume and peaceful atmosphere.
The property is being sold as vacant land (更地渡). Essential utilities are available, including public sewerage and a public water supply. However, please note there is a prefabricated shed on the premises, which is scheduled for removal if not required by the buyer. A critical point to consider is that the land is located within a designated flood hazard area (for flooding and storm surge). Additionally, there is a one-time membership fee of 500,000 yen required to join the local simplified water supply association.
The plot is also conveniently close to National Route 57, providing easy access for commuting and travel. For those planning to build a new home, Uto City offers a subsidy of up to 1,000,000 yen for new residential construction; details can be found on the city's official website.
Uto City is part of the larger Kumamoto Prefecture, known for its rich history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that Uto City was historically a castle town for the Uto Clan, a branch of the powerful Kato family. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's most famous and impressive feudal castles, located approximately 20 kilometers to the northeast in Kumamoto City.
