This listing offers a plot of agricultural land for sale in the satoyama (countryside) region of Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. The specific property is located at Nishio 1547, Arino, Arinocho, Kita-ku, Kobe City. The land is classified as a rice field (田) and has a total area of 307 square meters. According to the agent's notes, the field has not undergone land improvement (圃場整備未整備). The transaction type is a sale (売却).
The property is managed through the local 'Farmland Bank' system, which facilitates the matching of landowners with potential new farmers. Important conditions apply: the program is designed for those who genuinely intend to live and farm in the rural community, and it is not available for use as a second home. Interested parties are required to first consult with a Rural Settlement Promotion Coordinator at a 'Satoyama Life Consultation Meeting.' The coordinators do not arrange viewings or provide detailed information like blueprints or exact addresses to individuals who have not attended these initial consultations.
The Arino area in Kita Ward offers a serene, rural lifestyle within the administrative boundaries of the major city of Kobe. This provides a unique blend of countryside living with relatively easy access to urban amenities. An interesting local landmark is the Arima Onsen, one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot spring towns, located just a short distance away in the same northern part of Kobe. This historic resort area is renowned for its therapeutic waters and traditional inns, drawing visitors from across the country.
