A Spacious Corner Plot in Kurashiki's Historic District
This 400.01 sqm (approximately 121 tsubo) plot of land is situated in the desirable Hasima area of Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. The property is a level, vacant lot in a corner location, offering excellent potential for residential development. It is located within a designated urbanization area and a Category I Exclusive Residential Zone, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The property is equipped with city gas, propane gas, water supply, and sewerage infrastructure available at the front road. However, the buyer is responsible for applying for and connecting to the water and sewer lines, with a separate sewerage beneficiary burden fee required at a rate of 87 yen per square meter. The land is within a land readjustment regulation zone. The property is offered 'as-is, where-is' (現況有姿渡し). Notably, the school district is flexible, allowing for enrollment in either Kurashiki Higashi Elementary School or Kurashiki Higashi Junior High School.
The location is a significant highlight, being approximately a 5-minute walk from the city's designated Bikan Historical Quarter. This area is famed for its beautifully preserved Edo-period merchant houses and canals, offering residents the chance to experience this charming, traditional atmosphere daily. For daily needs, Nishina Food Basket Hasima store is just 209 meters away, and Harozu Hasima store is 334 meters away. The area is well-connected, with a bus stop only 170 meters from the property.
Kurashiki is a city rich in culture and history. An interesting fact is that the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Area was largely spared from bombing during World War II, leaving its traditional architecture remarkably intact. The closest major tourist attraction is the Ohara Museum of Art, located within the Bikan district, which houses a significant collection of Western art masterpieces.
