Critical agent notes provide essential details. The current status notes an existing old house on the land, and the agent encourages interested parties to freely inquire about arranging a viewing at their preferred date. Important remarks clarify that the plot includes a separate parcel classified as farmland (current classification: miscellaneous land, area: 267 sqm), which requires agricultural land conversion permission. There is also an unregistered building on the site. The agent's recommended points highlight the convenient location: Araki Elementary School is 800m away (10-minute walk), Taisha Junior High School is 850m away (11-minute walk), making both within easy walking distance. The starting station, Izumo Taisha-mae Station on the Ichibata Electric Railway Taisha Line, is only 550m away (7-minute walk), offering excellent convenience for commuting and school travel. Furthermore, the iconic Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine is just 900m away (12-minute walk), ideal for visits, strolls, and walks. Nearby facilities include a 7-Eleven (350m, 5 min), a Lawson convenience store (400m, 5 min), a Foods Market Hock supermarket (1300m, 17 min), and the Kawakata North-South Children's Playground (1000m, 13 min).
The Izumo area is steeped in mythology and is considered one of Japan's most important spiritual centers. Izumo Taisha, one of Japan's oldest and most significant Shinto shrines, is dedicated to Okuninushi-no-mikoto, the deity of marriage and relationships. The area offers a unique living experience surrounded by ancient forests and traditional architecture. This large plot presents a rare opportunity to build a custom home or develop a property in a location deeply connected to Japanese cultural heritage, with the added convenience of being within walking distance of a train station and the nation's most famous shrine.
