Land for Sale in Kofu, Yamanashi: A Prime Development Opportunity
This vacant land parcel, located in the Kunimo 5-chome district of Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, presents a significant opportunity for residential development. The property is a sizable plot of 265.53 square meters (approximately 80.32 tsubo), offering ample space for a custom-built home. The asking price is set at 8,000,000 JPY, resulting in a competitive per-tsubo price of 99,500 JPY.
According to the detailed agent notes, the property is equipped with essential utilities: electricity, water supply, and sewerage are all available, with propane gas as the energy source. A critical feature noted is that the land is located within an Urbanization Promotion Area and is zoned as a Category II Exclusive Residential District and Category I Exclusive Residential District, indicating a primarily residential neighborhood with specific building regulations. A key condition of the sale is that the land will be handed over after demolition of the existing structure, making it a clear plot ready for new construction. The land is designated as morena (vacant but with a building present at the time of listing), and the transfer is negotiable.
The area of Kofu is the capital of Yamanashi Prefecture, nestled in a basin surrounded by mountains and famous for its vineyards and peach orchards. An interesting historical fact is that Kofu was the castle town of the Takeda clan, one of the most powerful samurai families during the Sengoku period, led by the legendary warlord Takeda Shingen. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is visible from many parts of the city and offers breathtaking views, especially in the clear winter months.
