With the average price of an 800-square-foot (74 sqm) apartment in Tokyo reaching approximately JP¥70 million ($469,000), it’s no surprise that many residents are exploring alternative housing solutions. Renting a similar-sized property costs around JP¥235,000 ($1,600) per month, making affordable living a challenge in the bustling metropolis.
For those with greater financial means, housing options range from spacious detached homes to expansive luxury apartments. A prime example is this three-bedroom penthouse in Tokyo’s Shibuya ward, offering 1,780 square feet (165 sqm) of living space. Featured on the Tokyo Portfolio YouTube channel, the high-end residence boasts a rooftop deck, Jacuzzi, and outdoor swimming pool—all for an asking price of JP¥1.3 billion ($8.7 million).
