Nasu-Shiobara 3LDK with Public Sewer — Resort Gateway
¥6.98M, 3LDK, 1993 build. Public water + public sewer (rare in Nasu area). 15 min drive to Nasu Kogen resort.
1993-built 3LDK in Nasu-Shiobara City — the Tohoku Shinkansen access point for the Nasu Kogen resort area, 75 minutes from Tokyo. A key differentiator: this property connects to public sewerage (本下水), eliminating the ~¥30,000/year septic maintenance cost typical of rural Nasu properties and improving STR appeal for guests. Post-1981 seismic build on a 305㎡ south-facing plot with 6m road access. Nasu's STR market records $328 ADR and $30,660 median annual revenue across 167 Airbnb listings (AirROI 2025–2026). Total investment ¥8.7–12M with light cosmetic renovation, gross yield 52.7%, payback 1.9–2.6 years — among the fastest payback periods in the dataset.
