Opportunities to secure land in the very centre of Nozawa Onsen are increasingly hard to find, and this lodge offers exactly that. Positioned just moments from the village’s main bus terminal, a nearby public onsen, and the ever-popular Oyu Street, the property combines outstanding convenience with significant future potential.

The site measures approximately 350 sqm, with an existing lodge of around 420 sqm arranged over two floors and a basement. The current building could be renovated and brought back to life, but the real appeal may lie in the scope to redevelop and make fuller use of this highly sought-after central plot. With regulations allowing for a 70% building footprint and height of at least 13 metres, there is clear room to create something new in one of Japan’s most tightly held resort villages.

Town water, electricity and snow-melting water are already in place, making this a practical and compelling option for buyers looking at a central home, boutique lodge, or wider redevelopment project in Nozawa Onsen.
