Prime Residential Plot in Higashinumanami, Hikone
This is the final remaining plot in the "Higashinumanami Prime City" subdivision, a quiet residential area in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture. The plot offers approximately 49 tsubo (163.53 square meters) of level, well-prepared land with minimal elevation difference from the front road. The subdivision is noted for its bright streets and open, spacious feel, with low through-traffic making it safe for families and children. The area is served by two nearby train stations: JR Minami-Hikone Station is a 19-minute walk (approx. 1500m), and the Ohmi Railway Hikoneguchi Station is a 17-minute walk away, providing convenient access for travel, including a two-station connection to the Shinkansen at Maibara Station.
Essential agent notes regarding equipment and conditions are as follows. The plot is sold with a building condition: the land purchase contract is contingent upon signing a building construction contract with Sekisui Heim Kinki K.K. within three months of the land sale agreement. If a building contract is not concluded within this period, the land sale contract becomes void and all monies received, including the deposit, will be refunded. Utilities are confirmed: Electricity is supplied by Kansai Electric Power (other retail providers can be selected), gas is city gas, and water supply is public water. Sewage, wastewater, and rainwater are handled by the public sewer system and side ditches. There is a water supply connection fee of 55,000 yen (for 20mm diameter, tax included), a design review fee of 1,300 yen, and an inspection fee of 2,600 yen.
Several legal restrictions apply: Height limitations include road slope restrictions, adjacent land slope restrictions, and sunlight regulations. Other statutory restrictions are governed by the Hikone City Landscape Ordinance and the Hikone City Outdoor Advertising Ordinance. The area is also designated as a fire zone under Building Standards Act Article 22. Walking times are calculated based on a map distance of 80 meters equaling one minute.
The surrounding area of Hikone is rich in history and natural beauty. A major landmark is the magnificent Hikone Castle, a pristine original fortress from the Edo period designated as a National Treasure. The castle grounds, with their iconic keep, moats, and Genkyuen Garden, offer a profound glimpse into Japan's feudal past and are a must-visit cultural site.
