### 3. Interpretation and limitations
- The figures above are **book values on Japan Post’s balance sheet**, not market values. They reflect historical cost less depreciation (for buildings) and are presented in millions of yen. ["Book value (million yen) … land etc. … Buildings and other"](a633effd-b4a6-4ae1-a1f9-809e5386ac1f:1123:original.html)
- For JP Tower Osaka, the **latest filing indicates no newer large development with a later completion date**, so this is the most recently completed major real estate development disclosed as of the November 14, 2025 semi-annual report. ["name … JP Tower Osaka … Completion date | March 2024"](a633effd-b4a6-4ae1-a1f9-809e5386ac1f:1123:original.html)
If you’d like, I can next:
- Isolate just **one** asset (e.g., JP Tower Osaka) and walk through how its book value has evolved over time, or
- Pull aggregate data for the **Real Estate Business segment** (revenues, segment assets, etc.) to put these assets in context.
