Flat Land with Views of Mount Chokai in Yuzawa Town, Yamagata
This property is a flat, residential plot of land offering stunning views of Mount Chokai, located in the welcoming town of Yuzawa, Yamagata Prefecture. The site, with a generous land area of 419.3 sqm (approximately 126.83 tsubo), is situated in a non-designated urban planning area with no specific zoning restrictions, allowing for flexible usage. The plot benefits from a 70% building coverage ratio and a 200% floor area ratio. It is conveniently connected to public electricity, water, and sewage systems, as a building previously stood on the site. The land is flat and fronts a paved public road approximately 3-4 meters wide on its southeast side.
The location is highly practical, being only about 550 meters (a 7-minute walk) from Furuura Station on the Uetsu Main Line, providing excellent access to regional transport. Daily amenities are within easy reach, including a supermarket (A-Coop) about 650 meters away and a convenience store (Daily Yamazaki) approximately 2 km away. The area is also served by a clinic about 1.5 km away, and recreational facilities like Chokai Onsen hot spring and a swimming beach are within a short drive.
Yuzawa Town, often called the "armpit" of Yamagata due to its shape, is a municipality actively promoting relocation and supporting families. A key charm of the area is that the majestic Mount Chokai, one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, is visible from virtually everywhere in town. The landscape offers a complete package for countryside living, encompassing mountains, the Sea of Japan, rivers, and rice fields. An interesting local fact is that the town's吹浦 (Furuura) area has a long history connected to the ancient Dewa Kaido trade route. The closest major landmark is, fittingly, the iconic Mount Chokai itself, a stratovolcano revered as a sacred peak and a popular destination for hiking and nature appreciation.
