The review was prompted by scrutiny of a forest plot in Akamura purchased at about five times the initial estimate. One case involved land valued at \u00a5500 per square meter but purchased for \u00a54,650, which officials said reflected an operations shed and partially developed grounds, consistent with an appraiser\u2019s assessment. The Akamura case that triggered the review remains under negotiation. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=16478206&amp;ymd=2025-11-27\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\u201c_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-163874\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Prefecture Says Land Purchases Followed Proper Procedures\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
