Important agent notes and equipment details have been translated. Regarding the sale, a survey will not be conducted. Boundary markers are absent, and if an actual measurement were taken, there is a possibility of encroachment. During winter, significant snow accumulation occurs on the west side (opposite the national highway), and snow removal contractors perform regular clearing. Crucially, the building's exterior walls and roof are physically joined with the neighboring building to the south. A renovation was completed in October 2022, which included re-roofing work on the south side where the buildings are conjoined. The property is currently occupied, and the handover timing is negotiable. Running costs are detailed as follows: annual rent of 600,000 yen, annual land fee of 168,000 yen, annual fixed asset tax of 8,400 yen, and annual snow removal cost of 242,000 yen (tax included).
The area of Takikawa is part of the Sorachi Subprefecture and is known for its rich agricultural lands and historical connection to coal mining. An interesting local fact is that Takikawa is home to the Takikawa Swan Lake, a park that attracts hundreds of whooper swans every winter, creating a beautiful natural spectacle. The closest major landmark is the iconic Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa City, renowned for its innovative animal enclosures and one of Japan's most popular zoos, located within a reasonable driving distance.
