Historic Seaside Property in Shima City with Ocean Views

This unique property is a historic wooden house built in January 1925, located in the scenic coastal area of Shima City, Mie Prefecture. The house offers a 5K layout with a total floor area of 47.93㎡ (approximately 14.49 tsubo) spread over a single story. It sits on a generous plot of land measuring 163.82㎡ (approximately 49.55 tsubo) with a building-to-land ratio of 70% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The property is designated as being in a non-city planning area with no specific land use zoning.

Key equipment and features include lighting fixtures, propane gas, electricity, tap water, a septic tank system, and hot water supply. Special notes highlight the property's proximity to the sea, making it ideal for fishing and offering ocean views. The agent's remarks suggest the property could be suitable for use as a guest house or minpaku (private lodging). The property is currently vacant, and the timing for handover is negotiable. There is no dedicated parking on-site, but parking is available at the local fishermen's cooperative. The property is subject to the Shima City Natural Parks Law and Landscape Law, and a setback is required. Rebuilding is possible with the necessary building confirmation.

The area is part of the stunning Shima Peninsula, known for its rugged coastline, pearl cultivation, and as the gateway to Ise-Shima National Park. An interesting local fact is that the nearby city of Toba is famous as the birthplace of cultured pearls, pioneered by Kokichi Mikimoto in the late 19th century. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine), one of Japan's most sacred Shinto sites, located approximately an hour's drive north.
