Shop-Residence in Kitakyushu's Kokuraminami Ward with Rental Income Potential
Critical agent notes provide essential details. The equipment and facilities include propane gas, hot water supply, and a separate bath and toilet. A special note on road access details that the property fronts a public road to the north with a paved frontage of 6.5 meters. Importantly, the remarks section reveals a key feature: the shop portion of the building has been used as a residence since it was newly built and is currently under lease, offering immediate rental income.
The property is conveniently situated within a 10-minute walk from Minami-Kokura Station, served by both the Nippo Main Line and the Hita-Hikosan Line, providing excellent access to central Kitakyushu and beyond. The area is zoned for commercial neighborhood use. The property is currently vacant and ready for a new owner-investor.
The surrounding Kokuraminami area offers a blend of residential calm and local convenience. An interesting historical fact is that the broader Kitakyushu area was formed in 1963 through the merger of five cities, including Kokura, making it one of Japan's earliest designated "designated cities." For recreation and culture, residents can easily visit the iconic Kokura Castle, a beautifully reconstructed castle keep that serves as a major tourist attraction and symbol of the city's heritage.
