Spacious Residential Plot with Town Hot Spring Access in Teshikaga, Hokkaido
This expansive 3,042 square meter plot of land is situated in a quiet, bird-filled residential neighborhood on the south bank of the Tsubetsu River in Teshikaga Town, Hokkaido. The property is located within a Category I Low-Rise Residential Zone, ensuring a high-quality living environment. The southern edge of the land borders a broad forested area, offering privacy and natural scenery. While a portion of the southwestern slope near the mountain is designated as a special landslide hazard warning zone (Red Zone), the majority of the flat area is outside this designation.
Key equipment and features include access to electricity, the potential for connection to public water supply and sewer systems, and the availability of town-operated hot spring water. A notable feature is the possibility to connect to the municipal hot spring system for an initial membership fee of 440,000 yen (tax included), with a metered usage fee of approximately 12,000 yen per month for household bathing purposes. Although the main public water line is some distance away, a neighbor has informally agreed to allow a bypass connection, facilitating utility setup.
Teshikaga Town, located inland in eastern Hokkaido, is rich in natural and tourist attractions, including the famous Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo, as well as numerous hot spring areas. The area provides essential amenities within walking distance, such as Mashu Kosei Hospital, a certified children's garden, and a special nursing home. The property is approximately 1.2km from Mashu Station on the Senmo Line. An interesting local fact is that Lake Kussharo is Japan's largest caldera lake by surface area and is known for its hot sand beaches where geothermal heat warms the shore. The closest major landmark is the breathtakingly clear and deep Lake Mashu, a UNESCO-recognized part of Akan Mashu National Park, renowned for its frequent fog and mystical beauty.
