A Land with Hot Springs Overlooking Lake Shiratoko in Hokkaido
This is a unique land plot for sale in a villa area with hot springs, offering panoramic views of Lake Shiratoko in Shibecha Town, Hokkaido. The property is situated on a sunny western slope within a well-maintained subdivision, where many elegant homes with beautiful gardens and vegetable plots can be found. The land itself is 352 square meters (approximately 106.48 tsubo) and is classified as forest land with a mix of flat and sloping terrain. It is located outside of city planning zones.
Key equipment and features include the availability of electricity and a private water supply connection. A combined septic tank is required. The property has access from a approximately 4-meter wide paved private road on its north side. A special note is the monthly fee of 11,000 yen for water and hot spring usage. The area is governed by the Kushiro Shitsugen National Park ordinary area regulations and the Hokkaido Landscape Plan.
The location provides a serene lifestyle with Lake Shiratoko, a freshwater lake on the border of the Konsen Plain and Kushiro Marsh, right at your doorstep. Historically, the lake gained attention for its 'artificial marimo'—floating filamentous algae processed into spheres. Today, the use of motorboats on the lake is prohibited, preserving its tranquil environment, which is popular for fishing Amemasu and Wakasagi. When fully thawed, the lake's surface glows beautifully at sunset. The area is part of the vast Kushiro Shitsugen National Park, Japan's largest wetland and a UNESCO Ramsar site, offering unparalleled access to pristine nature and wildlife.
