Itoshima 5LDK — 448㎡ Land, All-Electric, Near Sakurai Shrine at ¥13M
5LDK on 448㎡ near iconic Sakurai Shrine & Itoshima beaches. All-electric, 3-car park. ¥13M. $201 ADR, $32.6K median revenue.
At ¥13M (US$87K), this 1994-built 5LDK on 448.92㎡ offers the highest bedroom-to-investment ratio in the Itoshima STR market — 5 separate rooms on a flat lot large enough for 3 vehicles and potential outdoor terrace development. The all-electric specification (IH cooking) eliminates LP gas costs entirely and simplifies utility management for remote owners. Itoshima is Fukuoka Prefecture's fastest-growing coastal destination: an Instagram-famous peninsula anchored by Sakurai Shrine's sea-facing torii gate (1.5km from the property), surf beaches, local seafood markets, and 40-minute car access to Hakata Station. The 448㎡ lot — nearly double the land area of comparable ¥13M Itoshima listings — creates room for an outdoor terrace, barbecue area, or fire pit that group renters booking the Shima Peninsula specifically request. AirROI 2025–2026 records $201 ADR and $32,599 median annual revenue across 65 Itoshima Airbnb listings. Total investment ¥15.9–18.1M. Gross yield 30.7%, payback 3.3–3.7 years. Disclosure: Yellow Zone mudslide designation (警戒区域, not 特別警戒区域) — no use restriction; private well (water quality inspection completed); 2.5m access lane — confirm vehicle clearance.
Minpaku (short-term rental) status not confirmed. Verify with the municipal office and your agent before completing purchase. STR operation may be restricted to 180 days/yr or prohibited.
