2026宅建攻略セミナー9月　法令制限・税・価格評定の総まとめノートの作り方

Summary

Ken Tanaka’s September seminar focuses on preparing for the legal restrictions, tax, and real-estate appraisal portions of the Japanese Real Estate Transaction Agent (宅建) exam. With roughly a month remaining, he recommends moving beyond general study and organizing easily confused rules and figures in a personal review notebook.

Exam priorities

The instructor’s suggested targets are:

• Legal restrictions: 8 questions; aim to get about 6 correct.
• Tax: 2 questions; aim for at least 1 correct.
• Real-estate appraisal: 1 question, which he considers a point candidates should be able to secure.

Together, he presents 8 correct answers out of these 11 questions as a useful target.

Problem-solving alone may not be enough for these subjects. He recommends comparing rules directly, especially where figures, deadlines, authorities, or terminology are easy to mix up.

How to make and use a study notebook

1. Organize by comparison, rather than copying everything.

   • Put similar systems side by side.
   • Focus on distinctions that are easy to confuse, such as who must act, which authority is responsible, deadlines, thresholds, and numerical values.
   • A page per topic is a useful starting point, though comparison tables may cover more than one topic.

2. Keep the notebook practical and easy to revise.

   • Draft in pencil so you can erase and update it.
   • Mark important terms and figures in red.
   • Leave space for exceptions and details discovered later in mock exams or practice questions.
   • Use sticky notes if necessary. Don’t delay making the notebook while trying to make it look perfect.

3. Use it for active recall.

   • Add fill-in-the-blank prompts or record questions you got wrong.
   • Test yourself repeatedly instead of only rereading the notebook.
   • Add information after lessons and practice, even if the notebook becomes messy. What matters is whether it helps you recall the rules.

4. Work in focused sessions.

   • Set aside an hour or two with the relevant textbook and notebook, while minimizing distractions.
   • Read the source material, build a comparison table, then refine it through practice questions and mock exams.

Main subjects to organize

City Planning Act and National Land Use Planning Act

• Compare development-permission requirements with land-use notification requirements.
• Organize area thresholds by category, including urbanized and urbanization-control areas and other designated areas.
• Record who must submit a notification and the deadline, distinguishing prior notification from notification after a transaction.

Agricultural Land Act

• Distinguish the main cases addressed by Articles 3, 4, and 5:
  • Transfers or leases while land remains farmland
  • Conversion of farmland
  • Transactions involving conversion
• Record which authority grants permission and note relevant exceptions.
• Pay particular attention to recent exam trends, including permission rules for temporary uses or structures, the treatment of sales versus leases, and the difference between provisional and final registration.

Building Standards Act road rules

• Memorize the statutory definition of a road and the rules for Article 42(2) roads.
• Keep key width and setback figures together in a comparison table.
• Note whether designation by the relevant authority is required.

Fixed asset tax

• Separate tax base, tax rate, and tax amount; questions may test whether candidates confuse these concepts.
• Organize the assessment date, standard tax rate, valuation rules, depreciable assets, and special provisions.
• Review residential-land reductions, including the commonly tested one-sixth and one-third figures, and learn the relevant conditions.

Real-estate appraisal

• Learn the three appraisal approaches: cost, comparison, and income.
• Memorize the associated price concepts and distinguish normal, limited, specific, and special prices.
• Understand that the approaches are used to arrive at an appraisal value; not every case necessarily uses all three.

Land readjustment

• Compare the temporary designation of replacement land (仮換地) with the final land-exchange disposition (換地処分).
• Organize their purposes, timing, procedures, announcements, effects on use and rights, and registration consequences.
• Leave space for fine procedural details that may appear in mock exams.

Other permission and notification systems

• Compare relevant land-development and forest-related rules, especially where notification and permission requirements differ.
• Use the textbook to verify exact standards rather than relying only on a memorized comparison.

The seminar’s central lesson is to build a revisable, comparison-based notebook and use it repeatedly for recall, updating it with exceptions and details from practice. The instructor says the final October session will review points candidates should not miss immediately before the exam.
