Special notes from the agent highlight the property's location in a quiet residential area, its corner lot position with no building directly in front, and excellent sunlight. The construction was scheduled for completion in June 2024. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover.
The property is located in the Obihiro area of Hokkaido, a region famous for its vast agricultural plains and delicious dairy products. An interesting local fact is that Obihiro is the birthplace of the iconic "Butadon" (pork bowl), a must-try dish for any visitor. The area offers access to the natural beauty of Tokachi, with the closest major tourist attraction being the stunning Shikaribetsu Lake, known for its pristine waters and scenic hiking trails in the nearby Daisetsuzan National Park.
