A critical remark states that the property does not front a road as defined by the Building Standards Act. Therefore, construction, extension, or rebuilding is generally not permitted. However, it may be possible if permission is obtained under Article 43, Paragraph 2, Item 2 of the Building Standards Act following agreement from the building review council.
The Higashinada area is a prestigious residential district in Kobe, known for its quiet neighborhoods and proximity to both the city and nature. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Mikage area is famous as the birthplace of Japan's first golf course, the Kobe Golf Club, established in 1903. The closest major landmark is the scenic Sumiyoshi Park, a large urban park perfect for strolls and seasonal flower viewing.
