Spacious Traditional Japanese Home on Expansive Land in Yurihonjo, Akita
According to the agent's notes, the property is registered with the Yurihonjo City Akiya (vacant house) Bank. It is situated near mountains, offering views of田园风景 (rural scenery) and is located in a 緑豊かな住宅地 (green, residential area). A dedicated space for a 家庭菜園 (home vegetable garden) is available. The property comes with parking space. Essential equipment includes an independent kitchen, propane gas, electricity, and a water supply. However, critical notes indicate the water fixtures are quite old and will require significant renovation to be usable. The agent recommends the property for DIY projects, use as storage, or for demolition and redevelopment of the land.
Special remarks clarify the sewage situation: while a sewer manhole is available on the premises, it is currently unconnected. The present system is a 汲取 (cesspit / septic tank that requires pumping). The land is平坦 (flat) and located outside the city planning area with no designated use district. Important legal notes state the property is subject to the Building Standards Act Article 22 re-building restrictions. The boundary is not explicitly marked (境界非明示); if a boundary survey is desired, the cost will be borne by the buyer. The property is sold 現況有姿 (as-is).
The surrounding area of Yurihonjo offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle in Akita Prefecture, famous for its natural beauty and traditional culture. An interesting local fact is that the city is part of the wider Akita region known for the Akita dog breed, a large, powerful dog historically used for hunting. The closest major tourist attraction is the scenic Lake Hachirogata, a vast coastal lagoon and one of Japan's most significant land reclamation projects, offering beautiful views and birdwatching opportunities just a short drive away.
