Secure a rare income-generating asset in the heart of Kutchan with immediate cash flow and long-term upside. East Palace is a fully tenanted, three-unit residential building that:

  • delivers ≈ ¥200,000 in monthly rent – a gross yield of about 9.6 % on a projected ¥25 million purchase price;
  • offers a payback period of roughly 10.4 years, meaning your initial capital can be recovered well before the Hokkaido Shinkansen reaches Kutchan in 2038; and
  • carries clear potential to push yields above 10 % through targeted renovations—while positioning you for meaningful capital appreciation as land prices continue to climb.
