Compact Urban Living Steps from Gokokuji Station
This studio apartment offers a prime location in Tokyo's Bunkyo Ward, just a one-minute walk from Gokokuji Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line. The property is situated on the 9th floor of an 11-story SRC (steel-reinforced concrete) building constructed in December 1984, featuring secure auto-lock entry, an elevator, and a delivery box for modern convenience.
Translated agent notes provide essential details: The unit has a dedicated toilet, city gas, and both water supply and sewage systems. Notably, there is no dedicated parking for cars or motorcycles. A critical special note is that the property cannot be used for minpaku (private lodging), share houses, or office purposes. Pets are also not permitted. The building is under full委托 management with a巡回 (patrolling) superintendent. The transaction is handled via an exclusive intermediary (専任媒介).
The apartment itself has a wall-core exclusive area of 21.17 sqm (approximately 6.4 tsubo) with a balcony of 2.75 sqm facing east for natural light. The monthly running costs include a management fee of 11,700 yen and a repair reserve fund of 9,000 yen. The property is presented as an "Owner Change" opportunity, with an annual projected rental income of 936,000 yen and a yield of 5.20%.
The surrounding area of Otowa is a quiet, residential neighborhood within the prestigious Bunkyo Ward, known for its academic institutions and cultural sites. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Gokokuji Temple, from which the station takes its name, was established in 1681 by the mother of the fifth Tokugawa shogun. The area provides a serene escape from the bustle of central Tokyo while maintaining excellent transit links.
