Tokyo is a massive city and citywide sales data can’t always help us understand what is happening in particular neighborhoods.
So in this post, we take a deeper dive into the data to look at property sale prices by major train station in Minato Ward, Tokyo. We’re focusing on Minato because it is host to some of the most popular stations for Japanese home buyers and for users on Real Estate Japan. These stations include Roppongi, Hiroo, Omotesando, Akasaka, and Azabu Juban.
The charts below show average actual transaction prices for selected major stations in Minato Ward for transactions done in the the fourth quarter of 2021. The data was analyzed using source data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Real Estate Transaction-price Information.
The MLIT bases its data on questionnaires with people involved in transactions in its target survey locations and the registration of transfer of ownership of land and condominiums. For the 4th quarter of 2021, there were 125 transactions involving pre-owned condominiums in Minato Ward.
The tables below summarize the average transaction price by layout type.
- 1R = 1 Room: One room studio apartment. Usually between 13-sqm and 20-sqm in size.
- 1K = K stands for kitchen. One-room studio apartment with a kitchen that is usually separated from the other room by a wall. Usually between 13-sqm and 25-sqm of floor space.
- 1DK = D stands for dining, K stands for kitchen. Two-room apartment with a kitchen and dining space that is separated from the other room. Usually between 25-sqm and 30-sqm of floor space.
- 1LDK = L stands for living, D stands for dining, K stands for kitchen. One-bedroom apartment with a living/dining room and a kitchen separate from the living/dining area. Usually between 23-sqm and 35-sqm of floor space, but can be much bigger.
- 2LDK = Two-bedroom apartment with a living/dining room and a kitchen separate from the living/dining area. Usually between 40-sqm and 80-sqm of floor space but can be bigger in the case of higher-end apartments.
- 3LDK = Three-bedroom apartment with a living/dining room and a kitchen separate from the living/dining area. Usually at least 70-sqm of living space but can be bigger in the case of higher-end apartments.

When reading the charts, please keep in mind that floor layout, by itself, is not the main determining factor for price, although sales price tables usually present the data that way. Many factors affect sales price, including:
- Distance from station
- Year built
- Size in square meters
- Construction materials
- Quality of construction
- Reputation / brandname of the developer
- Amenities in the unit and in the building
