How to compare real estate areas in Tokyo

In Tokyo, the characteristics and prices vary greatly depending on the station, even within the same ward.

This page not only provides general information, but also organizes the order and points to check when actually preparing. For people coming to Japan from overseas, it is important to proceed with plenty of time, as each procedure can take time due to differences in language and systems.

Decide on a region based on your purpose

The optimal area will change depending on your home, rental investment, or corporate base.

There are many things that cannot be seen on maps or photos, so if possible, check on-site. As the time of day and day of the week change, the crowds and atmosphere of the city change, so it will be easier to make a decision if you consider the time you will be using the place.

See transportation practicalities

Check not only the number of routes, but also the transfers and congestion to your destination.

The atmosphere of the city changes depending on the time of day.

Conditions vary depending on the person and company. The most efficient way to proceed is to organize your purpose, timing, budget, and necessary language support, and then check only the parts you don't understand with a specialist.

Don't compare only on price

We will make judgments that include management, resaleability, and lifestyle convenience.

If you compare only based on price, you may find out later that there are additional costs and differences in terms and conditions. It's a good idea to separate what is one-time costs and what is monthly/yearly costs and have them confirmed in writing.

Create a comparison list before deciding on a property

As the number of candidate properties increases, it becomes difficult to compare based on impressions alone. If you compare prices, area, distance from stations, year of construction, management fees, surrounding facilities, contract terms, etc., you will see the difference. Rank the items you value based on your goals, such as ease of living for your home, income and expenditures and manageability for investments, etc.

Also check operation after contract

We continue to provide support even after the contract is signed, including renewal and move-out for rentals, and management, repairs, and taxation for purchases. If you live overseas, it is best to decide who will be contacted locally. Please check the official explanation from your real estate agent or qualified professional for important information.
