Prime Residential Land in Kurashiki, Okayama
This cleared residential plot in Kurashiki, Okayama, offers an excellent opportunity to build your dream home.

The property has been fully prepared for construction. The old house on the site was demolished in April of Reiwa 7 (2025), leaving a clean slate.

Furthermore, city gas piping is available on the front road. The land is officially registered as residential land within an urbanization promotion area and a Category II Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
Key details from the agent notes include the road access: the property fronts a 4-meter wide public road to the north, with a paved frontage of 10.8 meters. The land is flat and regularly shaped. A one-time utility connection fee of 550,000 yen is applicable.
The area of Kurashiki is renowned for its beautifully preserved Bikan Historical Quarter, a major tourist attraction featuring Edo-period merchant houses and picturesque canals. An interesting fact is that Kurashiki was once a vital rice distribution center during the Edo period, and its name literally means "storehouse village," reflecting this history. This plot provides a modern living base with easy access to both local transit and the rich cultural heritage of the city.
