Renovated Town-Managed Rental Property Ideal for Telework and Satellite Offices in Kunimi, Fukushima
This property is a town-managed rental building in Kunimi Town, Fukushima Prefecture, currently undergoing renovation with completion targeted for July 2023. It is specifically intended to welcome telework and satellite office use. The property consists of five buildings originally constructed in 1978 as municipal housing. The town is renovating one building first, with plans to renovate the others as demand increases. The goal is to attract creatively active tenants who will promote the initiative, aiming to eventually transform the area into a "new form of shopping street."
The unit is a maisonette-style 3K layout. Two plans are available: Plan A (Rooms 1 & 2) is offered with interior renovations already complete, ready for immediate use upon move-in. Plan B (Rooms 3 & 4) has the water facilities installed but the interior is in an unfinished state, allowing tenants to enjoy DIY finishing. Crucially, insulation renovation work will be completed upon handover, ensuring a comfortable thermal environment. This is a significant benefit in an area where winter temperatures can drop below freezing. Tenants are permitted to undertake DIY modifications, allowing for the creation of a personalized ideal workspace. As a town-managed property directly operated by Kunimi Town, management and oversight are reliable.
The location is highly accessible. It is an 8-minute walk (700m) from Fujita Station on the JR Tohoku Main Line. From Tokyo Station, it takes just under 2 hours via the Tohoku Shinkansen and JR Tohoku Line. It's also 20 minutes by train from Fukushima Station and about an hour from Sendai Station. The surrounding area, originally built for many residents, includes elementary schools, parks, and a shopping district, making daily life convenient. Kunimi Town is renowned for its agricultural production, including peaches, cherries, plums, grapes, pears, apples, persimmons, and rice. Historically, it was the site of battles during the Oshu War between the Minamoto and Oshu Fujiwara clans, which decided the start of the Kamakura period, leaving behind many legends related to Minamoto no Yoshitsune. The town is also known for its robust support for new residents, offering extensive relocation assistance.
