According to the agent's special notes, a critical piece of information for potential buyers is that the property is located within a designated sediment disaster warning area (土砂災害警戒区域指定あり). This indicates the land is in a zone officially recognized as being at risk for landslides or debris flows, a crucial factor to consider during due diligence.
The property is equipped with public water supply, propane gas, a dedicated bath, a dedicated toilet, and a septic tank drainage system. Parking is available and can accommodate several light vehicles. The current status is vacant, and the handover conditions are open for consultation.
Access to the mainland is convenient, with the major transport hub of Mihara Station (serving the Sanyo Shinkansen and JR Sanyo Main Line) reachable in approximately 25 minutes via a combination of a high-speed ferry from Saki Port and walking. The area is served by local amenities including Mihara City's Sagiuramachi Elementary School within 500 meters and a supermarket approximately 2.7km away.
Mihara City, with a population of just under 100,000, is situated near the center of Japan's Chugoku and Shikoku regions. It boasts a warm, low-rainfall climate and diverse natural landscapes ranging from the Seto Inland Sea coastline to northern mountainous areas. An interesting fact about the area is its excellent multi-modal transport links, being one of the few regional cities with a convergence of Shinkansen, expressway, seaport, and an airport (Hiroshima Airport), earning it the city motto "A town where sea, mountains, and sky open up dreams." The closest major landmark is the iconic Mihara Castle, a historic fortress built on a seaside hill, known for its stone walls and cherry blossoms.
