From the listing
Originally used as a soba restaurant and residence, built approximately 10 years before purchase. After acquisition, renovated with focus on plumbing; former shop space converted into a living room. Enjoys the openness of a single-story design and comfortable living surrounded by nature. Homeowner tended a vegetable garden, hosted BBQs and bonfires, and experienced seasonal natural surroundings. Operated as a licensed minshuku for approximately one year until last year, attracting hikers and hot-spring visitors; averaged 200,000 yen+ monthly revenue including winter months, with particularly high demand during hiking season and holidays. Visitors came from across Japan and abroad seeking natural experiences. Seller now based overseas for work with no plans to return to Japan, seeking buyer who will treasure the property. Building is wooden single-story house in a natural, quiet setting with nearby hiking trailheads, hot springs, and spring-water spots; natural-fulfillment location. Meanwhile, supermarket, hot springs, and post office within 10-minute drive; no hardship in daily living. Winter brings severe cold requiring heating and winter tires; all rooms equipped with cold-climate air conditioning. Public transportation limited; vehicle necessary for daily life. Suited for those enjoying natural living. Adaptable for minshuku operation, hiking/hot-spring-resort vacation home, or base for small business/activities. Possession possible from April 2026 onward. Transaction on an as-is, registered-title basis.

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 3,330 yen per sqm, down about 8% over five years (3,600 to 3,330), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 40,625 yen per sqm of land, 1120% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 3,330 yen per sqm.
