Prime Development Land in Tokyo's Historic Yanaka District
This exceptional plot of land, located in Tokyo's Taito Ward, offers a rare opportunity for custom construction in the desirable Yanaka neighborhood. The property spans 117.95 square meters (approximately 35.67 tsubo) and is offered without any pre-set building conditions, allowing the future owner complete freedom to select their preferred architect and builder to realize their dream home.
Key property features include a southeast-facing road frontage of approximately 2.2 meters on a private road. The land is designated as residential land (宅地) within a Category I Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone. The building-to-land ratio is 60% with a floor area ratio of 300%, though this is restricted to 160% due to the width of the fronting road. It is important to note that the land area includes approximately 7 square meters for a required setback and approximately 17 square meters of separate private roadway. The total land area is based on the registered size, and the area after potential subdivision and final survey may differ.
The location is a significant advantage. Situated in a quiet residential area, the plot is just a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line's Sendagi Station and a 14-minute walk from JR Yamanote Line's Nippori Station, providing excellent access to two major train lines. The area is rich in history and culture, known for its preserved shitamachi (old downtown) atmosphere, traditional wooden houses, and numerous temples. Yanaka is part of the larger Yanesen area, famous for its charming, narrow streets that escaped major damage during the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II. A major nearby landmark is the historic Nezu Shrine, renowned for its beautiful tunnel of vibrant red torii gates and stunning azalea garden, offering a serene escape just minutes from the property.
