A Compact Post-War Home in Tokyo's Sumida Ward
This property is a two-story wooden house built in January 1965, located in the Higashimukojima 4-chome area of Sumida Ward, Tokyo. It is a short 4-minute walk from the Tobu Isesaki/Main Line's Higashimukojima Station, offering convenient access. The total floor area is 69.42 sqm (approximately 20.99 tsubo) with a 5K layout, providing a functional living space. The land area is 51.06 sqm (approximately 15.44 tsubo). The property is situated within an Urbanization Area and is zoned as a Quasi-Industrial District.
Critical agent notes provide essential legal and usage restrictions. The property is in a Type 2 Special Industrial District, which prohibits short-term rentals (minpaku) and subleasing. It is for owner-occupancy only. Furthermore, the land does not front a road defined by the Building Standards Act, meaning the existing structure cannot be rebuilt if demolished. The land right is an old-law leasehold (chintaiken), with a monthly ground rent of 20,000 yen as of July 1994. The property is currently vacant.
Sumida Ward is a historic part of Tokyo, known for its deep-rooted culture and modern attractions. The area is famous for the Sumida River, which has been central to the city's development for centuries. A major landmark just a short distance away is the Tokyo Skytree. Standing at 634 meters, it is the tallest structure in Japan and offers panoramic views of the metropolis, housing observation decks, a shopping complex, and an aquarium.
