[Assessed 105.7%] Land in Kita-ku, Tokyo — 13 min from Akabane Sta.

The absence of site photographs is not a retrieval failure — there are none in the listing to begin with. The source data marks the property as having no photos, the listing agent's own website shows a no-image placeholder, and we found no matching listing on other property portals. With an information release date of 7 September 2026, this appears to be a new listing yet to be syndicated. We have therefore not confirmed retaining walls, steps at the road, or stair access from photographs.

The only image in the listing is a plot plan, which we opened and measured. Fixing the orientation from the compass mark, the frontage is about 29.7 metres on the west and about 6.3 metres at the north end, with the eastern boundary running 2.2 + 4.8 + 6.6 + 11.7 metres — a long, narrow triangle tapering to the south. It is not a flagpole lot, so no pole deduction is needed. That measured frontage feeds directly into the setback calculation.

The 3.0-metre public road on the west is under 4 metres wide, so the strip within 2 metres of the road centreline cannot be used as building land. Multiplying the 29.7-metre frontage read from the plot plan by the 0.5-metre setback gives 14.85 square metres, which we deducted to reach an effective area of 45.28 square metres. Without the deduction the valuation would exceed 140%; we report 105.7% after it. As the listing states, the area is still under provisional survey and is not a settled figure.

Roadside prices within Akabane-nishi 3-chome range widely, from 310,000 to 440,000 yen, so inferring from nearby landmarks would leave the result unstable. We took the property coordinates from the agent's own map page and calibrated map to ground by least squares using 14 block reference points on the same sheet. The property falls on a corner between the north-south road to the west (430,000 yen) and the diagonal road to the north-east (420,000 yen), matching the listing's description of a corner lot with two frontages. We adopted the more conservative 420,000 yen.

To compensate for the missing photographs we used 1-metre-resolution elevation data. Measuring 32 metres east-west across the property at 2-metre intervals, the ground falls from 21.8 metres at the west end to 20.3 at the east — a gentle 4.7% slope with no step of a metre or more anywhere. North-south it is almost level, and the difference from the road frontage is within 0.4 metres. This agrees with the listing's "flat" description, but tells us nothing about the height of any retaining structure along the neighbouring boundaries.
