Tokyo
Making a bold move
Tokyo
As has been the case for nearly six decades, Tokyo remains the largest urban area in the world, with approximately 37 million. By any conventional measure Tokyo should be a disaster but somehow millions of inhabitants work, get around, and play in close proximity and somehow manage to avoid extreme gaps of economic disparity. There is no other city in the world as large as Tokyo that is managed functionally without any serious troubles.
Most recently identified as the world’s safest city, Tokyo offers a high quality of life for both those who live there and those who visit, something most massive metropolis cities cannot match. In regards to international connectivity, tolerance, access to nature, business conditions, medical care, and public transportation, Tokyo is top notch! And if you are wondering about employment, surprisingly, Tokyo is an attractive option. With over 2,964 major companies with a capital of 1 billion yen or more, finding a job here is fairly easy…..a welcome incentive to those who are experiencing a slow job market in their home country.

Masters of innovation in space
Home In Tokyo
Known for its subtle, simple forms and use of natural materials like wood and paper, Japanese architecture has been an inspiration for modern architects and designers outside of Japan since the early-20th century. In contemporary architecture, it remains influential and aspirational in everything from the exterior of a home and its cladding to the minute details of wood joinery and cabinetry—landscaping elements to light fixtures. Due to the high cost of housing, conserving every square inch of space in a Japanese home is essential. Masters of innovative storage options, nothing in a Japanese home is out of order or lacking function. From “Japanese rustic modern,”, to modern Zen, every home here has a purpose and a place.

3 Types of Properties
for Every Wallet
Potential Property:
Shimokitazawa $900k - 1.3mil
An old neighborhood that is popular with Tokyo hipsters, Shimokitazawa is a fascinating area that’s unmistakably cool. A bohemian neighborhood just a few stops from city center, the narrow streets are stuffed with vintage clothing shops, quirky cafes, indie fashion outlets and artist studios.

Baseline Property:
Jiygaoka $800k - 1.1mil
A ten minute train ride from the city center sits the cozy neighborhood of Jiykaoka. Offering a relaxed atmosphere where you’ll find residents playing chess on warm summer evenings along a sakura tree line boulevard, this area is a place where it always feels like Sunday. Omitted from most guidebooks, this lovely borough often referred to as osharena machi by the locals, or “a stylish and sophisticated place” is removed from the touristy clamor of the city. It is a hub of fashionable boutiques, trendy cafes and narrow paths that make you feel as if you’ve transported yourself to the streets of Europe’s most fashionable cities — and yet, it carefully incorporates an authentic Japanese touch.
Dream Property
Ebisu $2.5 - 3.2mil
Ebisu is the neighborhood that ranks as the top pick Tokyo locals would most want to live in. The main reason for its popularity as both a residential and leisure hub is Yebisu Garden Place, one of Tokyo’s most pleasant dining, shopping and residential mini cities. The headquarters of many international companies, the atmosphere here is high-end but friendly and relaxed. The neighborhood hits the trifecta of central location, easy access to public transport, and desirable amenities.
