Property Description

The Chikura Umi Base Camp is a beachfront resort property at Chikura-machi Shirako in Minamiboso, on the southern coast of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba. It was completed in June 2018, is a two-storey wooden building of 706.81 sq m, and stands on 6,716.12 sq m of freehold land — a little over 2,031 tsubo — eight minutes on foot from Chitose Station on the JR Uchibo Line.

The property is offered tenanted. The seller remains in place as operator under a leaseback at a fixed annual rent of JPY 45,600,000, which is an indicative gross yield of approximately 5.46% on the asking price. The buyer therefore receives a contracted rent rather than the operating result of the hotel.

The accommodation is arranged as a row of guest buildings behind a shared café, kitchen and shop, with the sea in front. Parking is provided at no charge and the site carries no use district designation. The lease term, the operator covenant and the licence position are shared on enquiry.

Accommodation Demand in Japan

Visitor numbers to Japan reached a record in 2025.

The Japan National Tourism Organization records 42,683,600 international visitors for the year 2025, an increase of 15.8% on the previous year and the highest annual figure on record, exceeding the previous record of 36,870,148 set in 2024 by more than 5.8 million.

This is the national demand backdrop for resort accommodation. It is not a measure of this property, of the Minamiboso area, or of the operator’s results.

This is a nationwide figure published by the Japan National Tourism Organization. It does not describe occupancy, room rates or revenue at this property or in the Minamiboso area, and it does not guarantee future rent, value or performance. Land price figures are not cited for this property because the Reiwa 8 Official Land Price Survey contains no reference points in Minamiboso.

Ken’s View

This is a beachfront resort operation rather than a residential asset. It stands at Shirako in Chikura on 6,716 sq m of freehold land, eight minutes on foot from Chitose Station, with the sea in front of it. A site of that size on the coast, held freehold, is the part that is hard to replace.

What makes it unusual is the income structure. The seller stays on as operator under a leaseback at a fixed annual rent of JPY 45,600,000, approximately 5.46% on the asking price, so the buyer takes a contracted rent rather than the trading result of a hotel. For an owner based outside Japan that removes the part of resort ownership which is hardest to run from a distance.

The buildings were completed in June 2018 and total 706.81 sq m, arranged as guest rooms behind a shared café, kitchen and shop. The lease term, the operator covenant and the hotel licence position can be confirmed on enquiry.
