The property is designated as residential land within a City Planning Area's urbanization zone, specifically under the First Category Residential District zoning. It offers a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%, providing a solid foundation for future construction.
Key property details include essential utilities: water supply and sewerage are available.

The land is flat, vacant, and ready for immediate transfer. The agent's remarks highlight the proximity to Naebo Park, an area brimming with natural beauty, and suggest the land would be ideal for uses such as a home vegetable garden.
The surrounding area of Otaru is famous for its historic canal district, a major tourist attraction that draws visitors with its beautifully preserved stone warehouses and romantic atmosphere. A fascinating fact about Otaru is that it was once the financial heart of Hokkaido during its herring fishing boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, earning it the nickname "The Wall Street of the North." This plot offers a chance to be part of a city rich in history and natural scenery.
