Full description

Features: Up to 1.2M yen subsidy!! Large wood deck, beautifully maintained garden and landscaping. / Notes: Located in a flood-prone area (flooding and storm surge). Partially renovated by the owner. Upon contract, up to 1.2M yen subsidy will be granted. / Town appeal: Uto City is in the heart of Kyushu. Uto City is at the junction of National Route 3 (connecting north and south Kyushu) and the JR Kagoshima Main Line that runs along it, National Route 57 (running east-west across the Uto Peninsula), and the JR Sankaku Line. It features excellent access to Fukuoka, Kumamoto City, and the Kagoshima area. While surrounded by natural beauty with mountains and sea, there are also large commercial facilities, enabling "just-right rural living." Furthermore, from fiscal 2024 onward, the city is strengthening relocation and settlement promotion policies, with expanded subsidies including up to 1M yen for new residential construction in the western area, subsidies for acquiring akiya bank properties, and subsidies to help newly married couples cover costs of starting a new life.
