[Assessed 163.7%] Detached house in Fujimino, Saitama — 20 min from Kami-Fukuoka Sta.

This is a pre-owned detached house in Kaminohara 3-chome, Fujimino, Saitama, a 20-minute walk from Kami-Fukuoka Station on the Tobu Tojo Line (29 minutes from Fujimino Station and 43 minutes from Minami-Furuya Station on the JR Kawagoe Line). The lot number is not disclosed, but from the listed distance to Fukuoka Elementary School (197 m) and the block positions published by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI), we estimate that it lies around blocks 1–3 of Kaminohara 3-chome (an estimated range, not an identified lot). GSI elevation data shows this area is almost flat at about 10–12 m above sea level, with the terrace scarp more than 100 m to the west near the Kaminohara 1-chome boundary. The listing notes that Aeon Town Fujimino and the city hall are within walking distance. Distances to nearby facilities are straight-line distances from the estimated position (the centre of blocks 1–3).

The building is a two-storey wooden 3K (Japanese-style rooms of 6, 6 and 4.5 tatami) built in January 1975 (51 years old), with 48.41 ㎡ of floor area on a 58.45 ㎡ freehold lot (registered area). ⚠️ The house is currently vacant and the listing states that renovation is required. It is sold as is, the boundaries will not be marked, and the seller is exempt from liability for non-conformity, so leaks, equipment defects and boundary positions would have to be checked at the buyer's own expense. The zoning is Category 1 Low-rise Exclusive Residential (building coverage 50%, floor area ratio 100%), with public water, sewerage and city gas; the main light-facing side faces east, and handover timing is negotiable.

⚠️ Road access is via a 4.0 m private road on the north side. The listing says there is no private-road burden, but it does not say whether this road is a designated road, i.e. whether it counts as a road under the Building Standards Act. If it does not, rebuilding may not be permitted, so this needs to be confirmed with the agent and the city, together with any share in the private road and consent for passage and excavation (the listing does not state that rebuilding is prohibited). In the listing photo, the step from the private road to the inside of the gate is only about 0.2 m, and the neighbouring lots on both sides are level with the road. There is no retaining wall, stepped access or flag-shaped lot, and the house is a detached two-storey building. However, the south (rear) boundary does not appear in the photos, and the height difference with the neighbouring land there has not been confirmed.

The price is 5 million yen. Using the Reiwa 8 (2026) roadside price map, we took 140,000 yen/㎡, the most common value on the local roads of Kaminohara 3-chome, as the representative value, giving an assessment ratio of about 163.7%. The building is valued at zero because at 51 years old it is past the statutory useful life for wooden buildings, so this ratio reflects the land alone. The representative band rose from 130,000 yen/㎡ in 2024 and 135,000 yen/㎡ in 2025. The price is well below the total roadside value of the land (about 8.18 million yen). Possible reasons include the renovation or demolition cost of an old vacant house, the small 58.45 ㎡ lot, the heavy buyer-side burden of an as-is sale with no boundary marking and no seller liability, the 20-minute walk to the station, and the fact that the legal status of the private road cannot be confirmed from the listing, although the listing itself gives no reason. The high assessment ratio should be read as a figure that comes with these conditions.
