This vacant residential development plot, located in the sought-after Nishi-Ochiai 2-chome district of Shinjuku, Tokyo, presents an excellent opportunity for building a custom home.

Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective builders. The road access situation is detailed as facing north onto a 4-meter wide private road, with no official position designation. Furthermore, the property is subject to specific legal restrictions: it is located within a quasi-fire prevention zone, a 20-meter Category 2 Height Control District, and is adjacent to the urban planning area for Nogata Park. The land is designated for residential use within the City Planning Area's urbanization zone, zoned as Category 1 Exclusive Residential District, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 160%.
The area of Nishi-Ochiai offers a peaceful residential atmosphere while maintaining excellent accessibility to central Tokyo. It is within a 10-minute walk from the Toei Oedo Line's Ochiai-minaminagasaki Station, an 11-minute walk from the Seibu Shinjuku Line's Araiyakushi-mae Station, and a 15-minute walk from Nakai Station. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Nogata Park, referenced in the property's legal notes, is a spacious public park that serves as a vital green lung for the community, featuring sports grounds and walking paths. For a major tourist attraction, the historic and stunning Meiji Jingu Shrine, one of Tokyo's most important Shinto shrines set in a vast forested area, is easily accessible via the nearby train lines.
