Description
Charming Corner Unit with Excellent Access to Central Tokyo & Airports
Discover a fantastic investment and residential opportunity in the heart of a tranquil yet highly convenient Tokyo neighborhood. Priced at $75,000 (based on “the price of the house in JPY” at 1 USD = 140; Notary fees, processing, and taxes are not included.), this 2DK apartment in Higashikanamachi, Katsushika City, offers an exceptional blend of value, comfort, and accessibility that is highly sought after in the Tokyo real estate market.
An Ideal Space for Living
This corner unit, situated on the first floor of a 3-story reinforced concrete building, is designed for comfortable living. The 41 m² (437 ft²) layout is practical and efficient. Being a corner unit with a south-facing balcony, the apartment is bathed in natural light, ensuring excellent sunlight and ventilation throughout the day—a highly prized feature in Tokyo. The property boasts modern amenities including a system kitchen, an intercom with a monitor for enhanced security, and the rare convenience of two toilets. The “reheating bathtub” function is another classic Japanese feature, perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Unbeatable Local Convenience
The location is superb for daily life. A Gyomu Supermarket is just a 4-minute walk away (360m), and convenience stores like 7-Eleven are even closer (280m), making everyday errands effortless. For families, the proximity to Handa Elementary School (a mere 250m away) makes this an ideal choice. The neighborhood itself is a quiet residential area, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
Strategic Location & Superb Connectivity
Accessibility is a key factor for any prime real estate, and this property excels. It’s an 11-minute walk to Kanamachi Station, which serves the JR Joban Line and is directly connected to the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. This provides direct, one-seat access to major business districts like Otemachi (near Tokyo Station) in about 30 minutes and other central hubs like Omotesando.
For international investors and frequent travelers, the access to Japan’s main airports is remarkably convenient. Both Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda International Airport (HND) are accessible within approximately 45 minutes by car. Public transport is also efficient, with straightforward train routes to both airports.
A Hub for Culture and Leisure
While located in a peaceful area, the apartment is also a gateway to rich cultural experiences. A short bike or car ride takes you to Shibamata, a beautifully preserved historic town famous for the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, a designated National Important Cultural Property. This area was also the setting for the beloved “Tora-san” film series. Within a 30-45 minute drive, you can reach some of Tokyo’s most iconic landmarks, including the majestic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, the towering Tokyo Skytree, and the cultural hub of Ueno Park, home to world-class museums and a beautiful zoo. This proximity to major tourist attractions adds significant value, whether for personal enjoyment or as a selling point for potential tenants.
This property represents a rare and affordable entry point into the stable Tokyo property market. With its strategic location, comfortable living space, and proximity to both daily necessities and world-famous attractions, it is an attractive proposition for investors seeking steady rental income and for individuals looking for a delightful home in Tokyo.
