Kamishiro Meitetsu House for Sale: 3LDK with Garage, 2001 (HL-0022)

HL-0022 is a two-storey wooden 3LDK house completed in March 2001 in the Meitetsu villa area of Kamishiro, Hakuba Village, listed at ¥78,000,000 (tax-included per the summary sheet). The house has a used-portion area of 112.61 m² (34.06 tsubo) on a 508.27 m² (153.75 tsubo) freehold lot, with a separate two-storey garage and parking for 5 to 6 cars. The listing comment puts it on the main avenue of the Meitetsu villa area.

The appeal is a well-equipped family house close to Hakuba47, with underfloor heating, double glazing and a garage that holds two cars and a snow blower. The open points are just as clear: the house is occupied, the handover date on the listing page has passed, and the listing page and its summary sheet disagree on the property type, the roads and the layout. This article sets out what both say and what to check before an offer.

HL-0022 at a glance

The table combines the listing page and its summary sheet (both re-read on 13 November 2026). Where they differ, both figures are shown.

The asking price works out to about ¥153,000 per m² of land (about ¥507,000 per tsubo), or about ¥693,000 per m² of used-portion area. That is simple division, not a valuation.

Listing page and summary sheet: where they disagree

Most figures match, including the price, the land and the floor area. These do not, and none of them is resolved on the listing:

• Property type: the listing page files it as a pre-owned office (中古 事務所), while the property name, the summary sheet and the photos describe a house. Ask how the building is registered and used.
• Roads: the listing page gives 10 m on a 10 m road to the south and 6 m on a 32 m road to the west; the summary sheet gives 5 m on an 8 m road to the south and 31 m on a 4 m road to the west. The page’s west figures look like width and frontage reversed. Ask for the survey drawing.
• Layout: the page lists a 5-tatami kitchen, a 12-tatami living-dining room and three Western-style rooms; the summary sheet lists a 17-tatami LDK and a 9-tatami Western-style room downstairs, and an 8-tatami Japanese-style room and a 6-tatami Western-style room upstairs. Check against the floor plan.
• Parking and handover: 5 cars against 6; and a fixed handover date of 30 April 2026 against May 2026 or later.

Planning: low ratios and Meitetsu villa rules

The lot is in a non-delineated city planning area with no use zone. The listing gives 30% building coverage, and the summary sheet adds a 50% floor-area ratio. Low ratios like these keep the villa area spacious. On this lot, on paper:

• Footprint: 30% of 508.27 m² is about 152.5 m², against 76.18 m² for the house’s ground floor; the garage’s footprint is not stated, so ask for it before you count the spare allowance.
• Floor area: 50% is about 254.1 m², against 112.61 m² for the house today.
• Roads: a building site in a city planning area generally needs 2 m or more on a road at least 4 m wide (Building Standards Act, Articles 42 and 43) (e-Gov). Both sources show public roads on two sides, so the lot looks well served, but confirm the widths on the survey drawing and who clears the snow.

The summary sheet notes Meitetsu villa-area management rules (名鉄別荘地管理規約), while the listing page shows no common, management or repair fees. Ask for the rules and any annual charge. Hakuba Village’s landscape guidelines also apply village-wide: new buildings and extensions that need building confirmation, and exterior or colour changes over 25 m², are notified 30 days before work starts (Hakuba Village: landscape guidelines). For two other Meitetsu-area listings on this site, see HL-0015 and HL-0008.

Layout and the two-storey garage

The house is a 3LDK on two floors: 76.18 m² on the ground floor and 36.43 m² upstairs. On the summary sheet, the ground floor has a 17-tatami LDK and a 9-tatami Western-style room, and the upper floor a Japanese-style room of 8 tatami and a Western-style room of 6 tatami. There are two toilets, a system kitchen, underfloor heating, air conditioning, double glazing, oshiire closets and a garden; the listing notes good sunlight.

The garage is a separate two-storey building: the ground floor holds two cars and a snow blower, and the upper floor is storage. The summary sheet lists a medium snow blower as included. No renovation is listed.

What the photos show

The listing photos show a two-storey house with cream walls and a dark timber gable, set on a lawn among tall trees. The entrance has tiled walls, a double front door and a small porch. Inside, the living and dining room has a bay window and a ceiling fan, and the kitchen has a long counter. The garage is clad in dark-stained timber with two shutters; inside are a car, the snow blower and an upper storage floor. A photo of the tree-lined road, a floor plan, a cadastral map and a survey drawing are also included; see the listing page.

A 2001 house: what to inspect

At 25 years old, the house was built well after Japan’s 1981 seismic standard for new buildings (MLIT). The listing shows no renovation, so check:

• the building confirmation and completion inspection certificates, and whether the registered building matches the house and garage as used;
• the summary sheet’s development field names 一条工務店 (Ichijo Komuten); ask whether it built the house, and for its drawings and any maintenance records;
• the individual septic tank: its size, age and maintenance contract;
• the boiler, the underfloor heating and the propane contract, and their age;
• a building inspection of the roof, the snow-facing walls and the garage structure.

Occupied, sold as is: handover and condition

The house is occupied (居住中) and sold as is (現状渡). The listing page gives a fixed handover date of 30 April 2026, which has passed; the summary sheet says May 2026 or later. Agree the move-out date in the contract and do not plan on a date the listing cannot confirm.

Sold as is usually means the seller does not repair defects before handover. Agree in writing what stays with the house (the snow blower, light fittings and air conditioners are mentioned) and how any defect liability is limited. The property is marketed as a house; the listing states no inn-business permit or minpaku notification. If you might let it to guests, Nagano restricts winter minpaku operation in designated parts of Kamishiro (Nagano Prefecture); see minpaku vs ryokan licence in Hakuba.

Access, snow and holding costs

• Access: the summary sheet gives 1.4 km, about 3 minutes by car, to Iimori Station and about 47 km (63 minutes) to the Azumino IC on the Nagano Expressway, with Hakuba47 about 3 minutes away. Iimori Station is unstaffed (Wikipedia, Iimori Station); a 7-Eleven in Misorano and a Lawson in Kamishiro are listed nearby.
• Snow: parts of Kamishiro are listed at 300 to 450 cm of vertical snow depth for design (Omachi Construction Office). The listing does not say which figure applies at about 730 m here; the included snow blower and the garage help in winter.
• Yearly costs: ask for the latest fixed asset tax notices and any Meitetsu villa-area charge. See Hakuba property tax and villa running costs.
• Purchase costs: registration fees, stamp duty, pro-rated property tax and the brokerage fee sit on top of the price.
• Land prices: in MLIT’s 2026 official land prices, residential land in Hakuba Village rose 22.8% on average (MLIT). These are survey benchmarks, not comparable with this asking price.

Checklist before you offer

4. Villa rules: the Meitetsu management rules and any annual charge.
5. Building: certificates, the builder’s records, the septic tank and a building inspection.
