Tokyo's Virtual Office Distribution: June 2025 Summary
In a comprehensive survey conducted by Virtual Office 1 in June 2025, the presence and distribution of virtual offices across Tokyo’s 23 wards have been meticulously documented. As of this date, there are a total of
440 virtual offices located within these wards, indicating a vibrant environment for remote business operations.
Definition of Virtual Offices
For this survey, virtual offices were defined in two main categories:
1. Services explicitly labeled as “virtual offices” by the operators themselves.
2. Services that do not use the term “virtual office” but provide businesses with the capability to rent an address, independent of any workspace offering.
This inclusive definition allows for a broad understanding of what constitutes a virtual office in the metropolitan area.
Method of Data Extraction
The information was collected through internet searches for “virtual office in [specific ward]” which led to the identification of official websites of providers. It's important to note that businesses not advertising under the term “virtual office” may not be fully accounted for, highlighting potential limitations in the data collected.
