Historic Station-Side Property in Inawashiro with Development Potential
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic home directly adjacent to Kawageta Station on the JR Banetsu West Line in Inawashiro Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Built in August 1950, this 75-year-old wooden structure offers a generous total floor area of 137.44 square meters spread over two storeys, situated on a large plot of 2,393.63 square meters. Its layout, while not specified in detail, is noted to have multiple rooms suitable for effective utilization.

Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The property is being sold 'as-is' (現状有姿) based on public registry information (公簿売買), with the seller exempt from liability for non-conforming contracts (契約不適合責任免責). Importantly, after purchase, the buyer may be responsible for repairs to the water supply, drainage, and other equipment at their own expense. A crucial financial consideration is that the land is leased; the annual ground rent is 80,000 yen. Viewings of the property are strictly by appointment only.
The area surrounding Inawashiro is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and major tourist attractions. The town sits on the shores of Lake Inawashiro, Fukushima's largest lake and a popular destination for boating, windsurfing, and enjoying scenic views. Furthermore, the iconic Mount Bandai, a stratovolcano and one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, dominates the skyline and offers world-class hiking and skiing. This property's prime location near the station provides easy access to explore these natural wonders while offering a blank canvas for renovation or redevelopment, all at a highly accessible price point.
