<p>Do you live in Japan ? and</p>
<p>Do you have Permanent Residency or are you married to a Japanese Citizen ?</p>

<p>If you don&#8217;t check the boxes above then don&#8217;t despair. Financing is available. Check the table below for the details of the financing currently available.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This house for sale with a land size of 254.64m2 and huge garden is in Ikedayama. Ikedayama is historically one of Tokyo&#8217;s premier residential areas favored by wealthy Japanese.<span id="more-14882"></span></p>
<p>The offer price is reasonable at JPY 175 million and significantly below market value for land in this area (see chart below, the average land for this area is 1.13MJPY/m2).   Thrown in for free is the house with a huge garden, a rare gem to find in this prime area of Tokyo.<br />
<img src="http://www.housingjapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/garden.jpg" width="560" height="375" /><br />
The location is very convenient, only 6 minutes walk to Platinum Street and  5 minutes walk to Shirokanedai.</p>
<ul>
<li>Price of the House: JPY 175,000,000</li>
<li>Size of the house: 167.67m2</li>
<li>Land size: 254.64m2</li>
<li>Completion: 1994</li>
<li>Station: Shirokanedai (5 minutes)</li>
<p>The current house significantly under-utilizes the zoning determined build-able area of this land.</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A series of articles about the current and future city development of Tokyo. The first article is about Tokyo Sky Tree and the Sumida-ku area. <span id="more-14181"></span></p>
<p>Tokyo is the world&#8217;s most populous metropolitan area with over 35 million people. It has been the largest city in the world for decades and will retain this status until at least 2025 according to population data from the United Nations.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-14202" href="http://www.housingjapan.com/2011/11/24/tokyo-city-planning-tokyo-sky-tree/population-by-city/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-14202" title="Population by city" src="http://www.housingjapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Population-by-city-1024x541.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Tokyo is also the world&#8217;s largest metropolitan economy with a GDP of USD1.479 trillion at purchasing power parity in 2008, ahead of New York City and larger than many major countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-14207" href="http://www.housingjapan.com/2011/11/24/tokyo-city-planning-tokyo-sky-tree/gdp-by-city/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14207" title="GDP by city" src="http://www.housingjapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/GDP-by-city.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="392" /></a></p>
<p>Tokyo also boasts head quarters of 51 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest concentration of any city in the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-14204" href="http://www.housingjapan.com/2011/11/24/tokyo-city-planning-tokyo-sky-tree/fortune-500-by-city/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14204" title="Fortune 500 by city" src="http://www.housingjapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Fortune-500-by-city.jpg" alt="" width="442" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Sumida-ku area is a traditional shopping, entertainment and residential district of Tokyo. Currently, the area is being reviewed for use as the distribution system in time of disaster using the canal network. It is also home to Tokyo&#8217;s latest landmark building, Tokyo Sky Tree.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-14187" href="http://www.housingjapan.com/2011/11/24/tokyo-city-planning-tokyo-sky-tree/20091108_536742-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14187" title="20091108_536742" src="http://www.housingjapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/20091108_5367421.jpg" alt="" width="664" height="468" /></a></p>
<p>Construction of Tokyo Sky Tree will finish in December 2012.  At a final height of 634 meters it will become the highest radio tower in the world. Sumida ward office projects that visitors to Tokyo Sky Tree area will reach 5.5million per year. The economic effect is expected to be as much as USD 1billion per year. The grand opening is slated for spring 2012.</p>
<p>In 2006, the master plan issued by Tokyo mentions the importance of the canals and river system in Sumida-ku from the stand-point of tourism and as the distribution system in times of disaster. However much of the canal system had been buried over time as the expansion of land transportation made it obsolete.  It has been determined that this canal network and transportation will be essential in the event of a major earthquake.</p>
<p>Many of the canals have been redeveloped with wharves, water parks, commercial and residential projects.  This redevelopments is in a sense a re-birth of Tokyo. In the Edo-period when the canal system was used extensively Tokyo known as the &#8216;City of Water&#8217;.</p>
