Prime Vacant Land at the Gateway to Takumi no Sato in Minakami, Gunma
This 237.08 sqm (approximately 71.71 tsubo) plot of land is situated in the scenic Suko area of Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture. Located in the southwestern part of the town, the property is in the Niiharu district, known for its preserved rustic charm and proximity to the Yujuku Onsen hot spring area along Route 17. The land itself is flat, zoned as residential, and is located outside of urban planning areas. It offers convenient access to utilities with electricity available, public water supply connection possible, and public sewer connection available.
The property holds a unique history, as a building previously stood on the site over a decade ago but was completely destroyed in a fire, leaving a blank canvas for new development. Its location is highly advantageous, positioned directly across from the Yujuku Onsen. A major highlight is its proximity to the famous tourist destination "Takumi no Sato" (Craftsman's Village), which is only about a 3-minute drive away. This village features over 20 different craft workshops, each housed in its own distinctive building, making it a popular sightseeing spot. Heading north on Route 17 also leads to the Sarugakyo Onsen area, making this land an ideal base for enjoying touring, outdoor activities, and countryside living.
The area is served by essential amenities within a reasonable distance, including a convenience store approximately 2.5km away, a private medical clinic about 220m away, and a drugstore around 2.8km away. The property fronts a paved public road approximately 4.5m wide on its east side. It is subject to the Minakami Town Landscape Plan and is located within a sediment disaster warning zone. This land represents a rare opportunity to build a custom home or retreat at the entrance to one of Gunma's most charming cultural villages, with the majestic natural backdrop of the Minakami region.
