About This Property

This is a vacant two-story 4LDK on 120 tsubo of residential land. It's a lot of land for the price, within walking distance of a station.

Fujioka is in southwest Gunma, next door to Takasaki. Gunma-Fujioka Station on the JR Hachikō Line is an 18-minute walk. The agency lists English support, which is rare and useful for foreign buyers.

Things to consider

  • Urbanization control area: Rebuilding here is restricted. Ask whether the lot qualifies as 線引き前宅地 (pre-designation residential land) and get rebuild rights confirmed in writing.

  • Pre-1981 seismic standard: It was built June 1973, so ask for a seismic assessment (耐震診断) and budget for a retrofit.

  • Road access not stated: Width and frontage are blank, and both affect rebuilding. Confirm them.

  • Missing basics: Parking, utilities and renovation history are all blank.

Key Highlights

  • 120 tsubo of land for ¥6.5M

  • 18-min walk to a JR station

  • Vacant

  • Agency offers English support

  • Next door to Takasaki
