Exclusive Listing · Japan
A fully renovated compact timber house operating as a licensed inn, four minutes on foot from a Yamanote Line station.
This house is in Tokyo, four minutes on foot from a station on the JR Yamanote loop, which connects the main districts of the city. It is a two-storey timber house of about 47.7 square metres on freehold land of 41.4 square metres, completed in 1990, fully renovated in autumn 2024 and operating as an inn since December 2024. The layout is a compact 1LDK with a Western-style bedroom and a walk-in closet. The licence does not pass automatically, so the buyer must apply again after paying the full price, with the seller's cooperation. It suits an operator who can allow ninety days to handover.
Why This Opportunity
The station on the JR Yamanote Line is a four-minute walk, with a second major station about 15 minutes away on foot.
The house has operated as a licensed inn, not a short-stay rental, since December 2024, so it already has a use that suits visitors to Tokyo.
The renovation was completed shortly before the inn opened, and the photographs show new flooring and fitted fixtures throughout.
The 41.40 square metre site is owned outright, flat and free of any private road burden, in a Category 1 residential zone.
Handover is set at 90 days after contract, and the seller will provide documents for the buyer's new inn licence application.
