Kamishiro Meitetsu Villa House for Sale: 2LDK, Built 2015 (HL-0015)

HL-0015 is a wooden 2LDK house in the Meitetsu villa area of Kamishiro, Hakuba Village, listed at ¥70,000,000. It was built in November 2015 (about 11 years old on the listing). The plot is 410.60 m² (124.20 tsubo) of freehold residential land, with parking for 4 cars, dual frontage on 5.5 m public roads, and a 16-minute walk to Iimori Station on the JR Oito Line.

The house is occupied, and handover is by arrangement. The listing shows a used-portion area equal to the land area, so building floor area is not separately confirmed. This article sets out what the listing says and what to check before an offer.

What the photos show

The listing exterior photos show a two-storey house with a dark upper façade, timber cladding on the ground floor, a covered porch with posts, a small deck with an X-pattern railing, and a shed-style roof, on a dry grassy plot under a clear sky. A neighbouring green-roofed building and bare trees appear in the background. The floor plan is on the listing page; the guide map and cadastral map are not shown online. The map pin on the listing page is approximate. Ask for the plans and a survey drawing through the listing page before you rely on boundaries or room sizes.

410.60 m² twice: do not read it as floor area

The listing shows both land area and used-portion area as 410.60 m² (124.20 tsubo). Building coverage is listed at 30%. On 410.60 m² of land, 30% is about 123.2 m² of footprint — far below 410.60 m² — so treating the used-portion figure as building floor area would contradict the coverage ceiling on its face.

On this site the building-area field is already withheld from the public listing for that reason. In this article we keep the land figure and do not present 410.60 m² as confirmed building floor area. Ask for:

• the registered floor area on each floor (登記簿);
• the as-built drawings and the completion-inspection certificate;
• how the used-portion figure was calculated on the source listing.

Dual road frontage and Meitetsu villa rules

The plot touches a 5.5 m public road for 14 m on the north and a 5.5 m public road for 18 m on the east, with no private-road share. Inside a city planning area, a building site generally needs 2 m or more on a road at least 4 m wide (Building Standards Act, Articles 42 and 43) (e-Gov). The figures look consistent with that; still ask the village whether these roads count as roads under the Act, and who clears them in winter.

Coverage 30% and floor area ratio 50% are low compared with many Hakuba plots that show 60% / 200%. On 410.60 m² those ceilings are about 123.2 m² of footprint and 205.3 m² of total floor area — before setbacks, snow-load design and any villa-area agreement. The listing does not say whether a Meitetsu villa management agreement or fee applies, so ask the seller. The village landscape plan covers the whole village: new buildings and extensions that need building confirmation, and exterior or colour changes over 25 m², must be notified 30 days before work starts (Hakuba Village: landscape guidelines).

Layout, occupation and handover

The layout is 2LDK: Western-style rooms of 7.5 and 11 tatami. The listing remarks say the 11-tatami room can be divided into two rooms. Confirm on the floor plan whether that split is already in place or only possible, and what it means for bedrooms and guest capacity.

The current status is occupied, and handover is by arrangement. Build the move-out and handover date into the contract; do not plan on vacant possession on a date the listing does not give. No renovation is listed.

Using it as lodging: the permit is not in the listing

The listing header calls the property a pre-owned lodging facility, while the name and point call it a pre-owned house in the Meitetsu villa area. The listing does not state whether an inn-business permit exists, its number or its holder, and we do not add one.

Paid lodging needs a permit under the Inns and Hotels Act. A minpaku notification is capped at 180 nights a year, and Nagano restricts winter operation in designated parts of Kamishiro (Nagano Prefecture). See Minpaku vs ryokan licence in Hakuba. Talk to the Omachi health and welfare office before you price lodging income into an offer. For a larger Kamishiro lodging example on this site, see HL-0008.

Access, snow and holding costs

• Access: Iimori Station is unstaffed; IC cards such as Suica were not accepted there as of March 2026 (Wikipedia, Iimori Station). Most arrivals will be by car, so the 4 parking spaces matter.
• Snow: parts of Kamishiro are listed at 300 to 450 cm of vertical snow depth for design; where the depth is 1 m or more, a unit snow load of at least 30 N/(m²·cm) applies (Omachi Construction Office). The listing does not say which figure applies here.
• Utilities: not stated in the listing — ask the seller and the village water and sewer section before you budget connections.
• Yearly costs: ask for the latest tax notices for land and building. 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). Official prices are survey benchmarks and cannot be compared directly with this asking price.

Checklist before you offer

1. Building: registered floor area, as-built drawings, and how the used-portion figure was derived.

4. Villa rules: any Meitetsu management agreement or fee; landscape notification for exterior work.
5. Lodging: whether a permit exists; if not, the route and cost of a new permit or minpaku notification.
