Baus Kaga: A New Large-Scale Residence in Tokyo's Historic Itabashi District
Baus Kaga is a forthcoming large-scale condominium development offering 228 residences in the historically rich and tranquil Kaga area of Tokyo's Itabashi Ward. This development is positioned to provide a balanced lifestyle, combining urban convenience with natural serenity. The property boasts excellent accessibility, with two major train lines available: the Toei Mita Line and the JR Saikyo Line. The nearest station, Toei Mita Line's Shin-Itabashi Station, is approximately an 800-meter walk (about 10 minutes on foot). This connectivity allows for direct access to Otemachi in 15 minutes, and to major sub-centers like Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, and Shibuya.
The development is situated along the Shakujii River, adjacent to parks, in an area designated as a Landscape Formation Priority District. This ensures the preservation of the quiet, scenic streetscape imbued with history and nature. The site itself has deep historical roots, having once hosted a Kaga Domain lower residence. The architectural and landscape design draws inspiration from this heritage, featuring a land plan themed around water flow, stone walls, the four seasons, Kaga Yuzen dyeing, and light across its approximately 5,800-square-meter site. Shared facilities include an elegant entrance hall, a book lounge with Kaga Yuzen art, and a multi-purpose community space overlooking a water garden.
Unit layouts range from 1LDK+S (storage) to 5LDK, with private areas spanning from 59.49 to 127.92 square meters, averaging over 73 square meters. The top floor will feature three limited penthouse units. Balcony sizes range from 4.86 to 20.55 square meters. The building is a 12-story reinforced concrete structure with a total of 228 units and one commercial space. Planned completion and handover is scheduled for late September 2026.

The surrounding Itabashi Kaga area is known for its peaceful atmosphere and rich history. An interesting local fact is that the area's name and heritage are linked to the Kaga Domain, one of the most powerful feudal domains during the Edo period, which maintained a secondary residence here. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic and scenic Shakujii River Greenway, a pleasant walking path along the river that offers a natural escape within the city.
