Prime Residential Land in Hofu City, Yamaguchi
This vacant residential plot, located at 81-7 and 81-8 Isae-cho, Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, presents an excellent opportunity for building a custom home. The land spans a generous 219.79 square meters (approximately 66.48 tsubo) and is offered at a price of 8.5 million yen. The property is situated in a designated urbanization area within the First Category Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential District, ensuring a quiet and stable living environment.
Critical agent notes have been provided, which contain essential legal and planning information. The current status is vacant land, and the agent encourages interested parties to freely inquire about arranging a viewing on a preferred date. Important remarks detail several regulatory considerations: the property is subject to the Landscape Act, Aviation Act, Urban Regeneration Special Measures Act, Land Readjustment and Specific Embankment Regulation Act, and the Important Land Survey Act. For lot number 2, a setback is required. Crucially, the road on the east side cannot be used for passage as there is no ownership share or easement right. The property is also subject to regulations under the Building Standards Act Article 22, including road slant line restrictions, adjacent land slant line restrictions, sunlight obstruction restrictions, and no exterior wall setback. It is further governed by the Landscape Act, Aviation Act (including cases applied under the Self-Defense Forces Act), and the Urban Regeneration Special Measures Act. A key benefit for lot number 2 is that, due to a corner lot relaxation, the building coverage ratio is increased to 70% (a 10% relaxation).
The land is flat and corner-shaped, with frontage on a 6-meter public road to the south and a 2.9-meter private road to the east. Infrastructure is readily available, with public water supply, city gas, and drainage all connected. The location offers convenient daily living, with a large supermarket (Marukyu), drugstore, convenience store, and post office all within a 10-minute walk. The area is served by the well-regarded Kajo Elementary School and Kuwayama Junior High School. Hofu Station on the JR Sanyo Main Line is approximately a 32-minute walk, providing regional rail access.
Hofu City is rich in history and culture, being home to the famous Hofu Tenmangu Shrine, one of the three major Tenmangu shrines in Japan dedicated to the scholar Sugawara no Michizane. The city also offers scenic spots along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea. This plot represents a chance to build a home in a well-serviced, regulated, and historically significant part of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
