[Assessed 133.9%] House in Komae, Tokyo — 7 min from Komae Sta.

Because the price is below the road price of the land, we re-fetched the listing to verify the figures. It is live (published 20 August 2026, next update due 28 August), and the price of JPY 14.9 million, land of 62.37 sqm, building of 56.6 sqm and a build date of July 1967 all appear consistently on the page. There is no "listing ended" or "sold" marker. It is sold directly by the owner's company.

We measured on sheet 59179. Motoizumi 2-chome spans four sheets, but the position the listing's map points to — about 800 m south-west of Komae Station, north-east of Izumi-Tamagawa — falls inside 59179, which covers the bulk of the chome. The residential streets on that sheet run from JPY 300,000 to 330,000 per sqm, with 340,000 to 350,000 nearer the arterials. We took the most common value, 320,000.

We checked that the margin in the position estimate does not change the conclusion. At the bottom of the band, JPY 300,000, the figure is 125.6%, and taking the neighbouring sheet 59180 — the north-eastern edge of the chome, at 350,000 to 380,000 — would push it higher. Three years on the same street on the same sheet: 280,000, then 300,000, then 320,000.

The private-road share is half of a separately registered 15.32 sqm strip and is not included in the 62.37 sqm quoted in the listing. Because we do not deduct a shared-ownership private road from the area, we used 62.37 sqm as it stands. The frontage is 5.9 m wide, with no flag-pole strip.

We examined three photographs that include the road in front and one of the exterior. The frontage is an unpaved gravel private road 4 m wide, level with the site apart from a single concrete sill at the gate. Cross-checking against the courses of the concrete block and the height of the front door puts that at 0.2 to 0.3 m. The decorative block wall along the road is four or five courses high, but the ground is at much the same level on both sides and it retains no earth. No retaining wall, cut slope or batter appears in any photograph.
