Description
This property was purchased by my grandfather in 2022. It has been kept unused, and the building remains exactly as it was at the time. It is a historic building that originally operated as a national lodge (kokumin shukusha), with a retro charm and a solid, sturdy construction.
Built in May 1974 (Showa 49), this large reinforced concrete facility has three floors above ground and one basement level. Because building a comparable structure today would cost an enormous amount, it is an extremely rare piece of real estate.
The grounds include three tennis courts. Depending on your ideas, the property could be used in many ways, such as a new inn, accommodation facility, training center, recreational retreat, evacuation shelter, warehouse or holiday home.
Location and access
- About 12 minutes on foot to Lake Towada
- About 14 minutes on foot to Utarube Campground
- About 1 hour 30 minutes by car (about 70 km) from Hachinohe Station on the JR Tohoku Shinkansen
- About 7 minutes on foot (about 450 m) from the Shimo-Utarube bus stop (JR Bus Tohoku)
The property is located in a scenic tourist area rich in nature, and the location can appeal to tourists and outdoor enthusiasts from Japan and overseas.
Building information
- Reinforced concrete construction, 3 floors above ground and 1 basement level
- Structure: built under the old seismic standards; no seismic assessment has been carried out
- Asbestos is contained in some floors, roofing, etc. (sold as-is)
- Building assessed value: approx. 36.8 million yen (fixed asset tax valuation, 2024)
- Land assessed value: approx. 4.1 million yen (same basis)
Utilities and facilities
All utilities, including water, electricity and gas, are currently shut off. Various repairs and equipment replacement will presumably be needed before they can be used again. Prior applications to the relevant authorities are required when carrying out large-scale renovations.
Costs
- Fixed asset tax (2024): approx. 555,400 yen per year
- Ground rent income from a telecom company's base station and utility poles installed on the site: approx. 153,000 yen per year
-> Actual ownership cost is roughly 400,000 yen per year
Notes
- The interior, exterior and structure retain the atmosphere of a Showa-era Japanese inn, and with renovation the property has great potential to show its appeal.

2022年に祖父が購入した物件ですが、未使用のまま保管されており、建物は当時のまま現存しています。元々は国民宿舎として運営されていた歴史ある建物で、レトロな趣きと堅牢な造りが魅力です。
昭和49年5月に建築された鉄筋コンクリート造・地上3階地下1階の大型施設で、現在では同様の建物を新築するには莫大な費用がかかるため、非常に希少性の高い不動産といえます。
敷地内にはテニスコート（3面）が整備されており、新たに旅館・宿泊施設・研修所・保養所・避難施設・倉庫・別荘など、アイデア次第で多様な活用が可能です。
