Yesterday, I showed a trendy apartment in Minamiaoyama of Minato-ku to a French Embassy personnel who just arrived in Japan.   I am writing this not only because I want to introduce a beautiful rental apartment in a very popular district of  Tokyo, but also because I want you to know that I sometimes handle a rental apartment or a house to look for an occupant upon an owner’s request.  As a matter of fact, the owner of Land Minamiaoyama is our client and has purchased this property in this past May.

Aoyama 1 chome Crossing

The room is well-maintained and beautiful and comes with shining hardwood floor, white wallpaper, and latest equipment.  Also, it has a nice view of Roppongi, Nishiazabu, and Aoyama from a living room and a bedroom.   I am sure that the room will bring you so much comfort with proximity to so many activities and entertainments.   Personally, I like Aoyama so much because I can walk to the Tokyo Metropolitan Gym (public) from Aoyama.   In addition, there are many world’s first-class companies in Aoyama.  The owner is willing to negotiate about rental terms.  So, if you have any questions, please contact me.

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 went to view Shuwahijirizaka Residence today.  It is a nicely-renovated, cozy apartment in Mita of Minato-ku.  It is in a very good condition with first-class furniture and electric appliances.

Area Information:

7-min walk to JR Tamachi station (Yamanote Line) — 7 mins to Tokyo station, 2 mins to Shinagawa station, 13 mins to Shibuya station, and 19 mins to Shinjuku station

5-min walk to Keio University

5-min walk to Peacock (a grocery store)

3-min walk to Keiyo D2 (a home appliance shop)

10-min walk to Minato-ku Sports Center

Azabu (e.g. Higashiazabu, Nishiazabu, Minamiazabu, and Azabujuban) is one of the most popular residential district in Minato-ku among international people. 

Azabu means a linen cloth.  Since the edo period (1603-1867), it has been known for cites of temples and cemeteries.  In fact, many of condos and houses in the district are built on ex-properties of temples, including the land on which the  Roppongi Hills is built. 

 Because Azabu has many temples, the district has much greenery which belong to temples and houses and apartments are in proximity to it.  

Azabu now has convenient access to central parts of Tokyo.  Hiroo station and Azabujuban station, two key Tokyo Metro stations in Azabu, are directly connected to the center of Tokyo by Hibiya Line (for Hiroo station) and Namboku Line and Oedo Line (for Azabujuban station). 

The followings are main reasons why international people like Azabu:

– In proximity to international community (many embassies are in Azabu)

– In proximity to international grocery stores (e.g. National Azabu, Meijiya, Nissin, Hiroo shopping street, and Azabujuban shopping streets)

– In proximity to renowned general hospitals and Arisugawa Park

– First-class restaurants and an international atmosphere

– Good access to central parts of Tokyo

Unlike Akasaka and Aoyama where many company headquarters are found, Azabu is exclusively residential.  Yet it would be worthwhile to invest on a building with retail space on the ground floor on a main shopping street in Azabu because the street is always bustling with shoppers.

The current owner has nicely changed the floor plan by knocking down the wall which used to separate living and dining area to create one open living area.  Also, he has brought a large, quality table into the kitchen and a looking-almost-like bamboo flooring into the living room.

 My client and I enjoyed tranquilty which greenery of a historical temple kept bringing into the apartment during our visit.

Details of the apartment are as follows:

Price: 125,000,000 yen

Floor Area: 124.63 sq. meters

Structure: RC

Building: a 8-story condo

Completion: 1983

Location: Motoazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo

Transportation: 4-min walk to Azabujuban station (Tokyo Metro Namboku Line)

Dear international investors,

Minato-ku (ward) in Tokyo is very popular among international people .  It is probably the single most popular place in Japan for residence.  In particular, so-called 3 As (Akasaka, Aoyama, and Azabu) are always bustling with people from different cultures.

In fact, many of our clients clearly show their strong interest to live in Minato-ku when they are asked where in Tokyo they would like to live in or to invest on.

Reasons for people’s love of Minato-ku are diverse.   Above all, quality life in Minato-ku seems to be attracting many international people or foreigners.  Minato-ku is at the heart of Tokyo while being a hub for Tokyo Metro which is one of the most complicated yet reliable underground systems in the world.  It has good access to work which international people go to.  It has so many world-class international and Japanese restaurants which have been a magnet for international tourists, and so many world’s first-class fashion boutiques. 

Moreover, among international individuals and families who are already living in Minato-ku, the area’s proximity to greenery is very popular.  People admit that they did not expect to see greenery in the center of Tokyo. 

Minato-ku has so many good reasons to be liked by non-Japanese people.  We would like to introduce good real estate opportunities (e.g. investment and residence) to as many international individuals or families as possible based on their needs while keeping these good reasons in mind.
