You may be wondering where Sakado is. It is a suburb northwest of Tokyo and is about 45 mins from Ikebukuro by Tobu Tojo Line. Like other satellite cities of Tokyo, Sakado is growing in number.

Dear international investors,
I went to survey land and some buildings on it in Omotesando at my client’s request. Omoesando is hugely popular not only among Japanese people but also among international ones. Trendy fashion boutiques and international restaurants are abundant in this area; and you can recognize so many fashion brands and international fast-food chains in Omotesando.
The footpath on which my client wanted to have a restaurant is a prime location of Omotesando. It runs through a corner block in the popular Minamiaoyama 3-chome. European restaurants and hair cut salons are crowding the footpath. I am positive that many people are actually very interested to have their own business there. Unfortunately, my client is one of many.

Dear international investors,
I saw another investment apartment building in Ichikawa, after viewing the 290,000,000-yen apartment building. Ichikawa is a poplular residential area adjacent to Tokyo’s Edogawa-ku.
Just like other major satellite cities of Tokyo (e.g. Kawasaki, Saitama, Omiya, Kawaguchi, Funabashi, and Chiba) which generally provide better real-estate investment opportunities than the center of Tokyo in terms of yield, Ichikawa offers high-yield real estate investment opportunities and you can obtain a net yield as high as 8% with this particular apartment building.
I hope that this article will motivate you to consider Tokyo’s surroundings for real-estate investment.
Specifications are as follows:
Price: approx. 500,000,000 yen
Location: Tomihama, Ichikawa
Transportation: 9-min walk to Myoden station (Tokyo Metro Tozai Line)
Structure: RC / 6 stories
Built in: 1988
Land: 954,31 sq. meters
Total Floor Area: 1,870,64 sq. meters
Land Restrictions: 60% (land) & 200% (FAR)
Monthly revenue: approx. 45,000,000 yen
Yield (gross): 9.05%
Yield (net): 8.27%

It is a 4-story small commercial building with about 37 sq. meters for each floor. Its details are as follows:
Price: 128,000,000 yen
Location: Maruyama-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo
Land: 37.4 sq. meters
Floor area: 142.2 sq. meters
Coverage: 80%
FAR: 400%
Completion: 1996
Current rental revenue: 7,110,000 yen
Transportation: 11-min walk to Shibuya station (JR Yamanote Line) & 5-min walk to Shinsen station (Tokyu Inogashira Line)
It is interesting because of its prime location: it is in-between most crowded areas of Shibuya and Shoto (one of the most exclusive residential neighborhoods in Japan). Also, the real estate is currently on an about 15-meter wide street, but the street is going to be widened for the next three years and traffic of people will increase greatly.

Dear international investors,
Shinjuku is one of the most crowded places in the world.
Over 700,ooo passengers use Shinjuku station (for 7 train lines by 5 railway companies) on average every day. It is the largest train station in the world in terms of the number of users. While serving as a center of retail business of Japan, it is always bustling with and energized by commuters from western suburbs of Tokyo and tourists from overseas.
Roughly speaking, it is in the center of a vast commercial area with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Japan’s conglomerates’ buildings on its west, departments and fashion boutiques on its east, and restaurants and entertainments on its north.
Almost all kinds of cuisines and entertainments are available in the region. Also, most of them are reasonably priced.
In particular, Kabukicho is a famous and infamous red-light district. You will probably be dazzled by never- cease-to-flash neon signs. No other area or town in the world is so bright as Kabukicho at 3 a.m. in morning. Kabukicho used to be known for unsafeness. However, thanks to the country’s goverment’s recent efforts to crack down on gangster groups, it is said that the area is now far safer than before. Still, it is advisable that you be careful when you visit Kabukicho because it is very differnt from the rest of Japan where you can get your wallet back even after leaving it somewhere.
