Poste date: Friday, November 15, 2024

We have summarized here the market rent of rental apartments and houses in Tokyo’s 23 wards as of March 1, 2023.

Tokyo is known as the area with the most expensive market rent in Japan, but not all the 23 wards have higher market rents than those in the areas outside of Tokyo, and there are considerable differences depending on the ward. The table below shows the market rents for rental housing with typical floor plans.

Market rent in Tokyo’s 23 wards is on an upward trend. Possible reasons for this include the fact that: with the end of Covid-19 pandemic, the number of people moving into Tokyo has increased over those who have moved out for the first time in 3 years; the prospective housing buyers, who can afford to buy housing, have given up purchases due to the rise in the sale price of condominiums, etc. and have started to choose rental housing; and the maintenance cost of the housing property has risen due to various priceｓ on the rise. For those considering rental options, especially high-end accommodations, Luxury Furnished Apartments in Central Tokyo could be an attractive choice.

Trend of Market Rent in Tokyo

Chiyoda-Ku, Chuo-Ku, and Minato-Ku, which is known as the 3 wards in central Tokyo, and Shibuya-Ku, where redevelopment is still underway, have very high demands as attractive destinations of offices, commercial areas, and residences with higher market rents. Looking at the floor plans of 2LDK to 3DK, the difference between Minato-Ku, which has the most expensive market rent, and Adachi-Ku, which has the most inexpensive one, is 281,500 JPY, and the former value is about 3.3 times as much as the latter one.

The average rent varies depending on the ward, but even within the same ward, the rent varies depending on “the proximity to the nearest station and the age of the building”, “whether the nearest station is served by multiple train lines”, or “whether the express train stops at the station”. In addition to the 3 wards in central Tokyo, the following areas, which are called high-class residential areas lined with luxury residences, also tend to have higher market rents.

Ota-Ku Den-en-chofu, Setagaya-Ku Seijo, Meguro-Ku Aobadai, Shinagawa-Ku Ikedayama, Shinagawa-Ku Shimazuyama
