A Japanese home-buying tool reads property-summary photos and compares a plot’s size, regulations, parking, garden, and budget against a family’s building plans.

Tochi Yomu turns a real-estate listing screenshot into practical questions: whether the desired floor area fits, whether two cars seem feasible, and what to ask the agent about road-width limits or setbacks. It is free, requires no registration, and explicitly avoids pretending to decide whether a buyer should proceed.
