The Rising Stars of Aichi's Rental Market in 2025

In a recent release by Nifty Lifestyle, the company operating Nifty Real Estate, Toyohashi City has secured its position as the top rental property hotspot in Aichi Prefecture for two consecutive years. This strong ranking is based on data derived from over 14 million property listings, helping users navigate the dynamic real estate market effectively.

Ranking Methodology

The rankings are based on search and viewing scores of individuals actively seeking rental properties. Factors like transportation convenience, rental prices, and living conditions were thoroughly analyzed to determine the most appealing cities in Aichi.

The map outlining the top cities in Aichi indicates a diverse spread of popular areas across the prefecture rather than a concentration solely within Nagoya. Major cities outside Nagoya such as Toyohashi and Okazaki have dominated the top spots, while certain neighborhoods within Nagoya, such as Imaike and Shin-Sakae, retain strong appeal due to proximity to subway lines.

Top Three Cities

1. Toyohashi
Continuing its reign at number one, Toyohashi boasts excellent transportation links, including stops for the JR Tokaido Main Line and the Aida Line, allowing residents to reach Nagoya Station in about 50 minutes. The average rental prices here are approximately 39,000 yen for a 1K apartment and 63,000 yen for a 1LDK, making it a financially sensible option for many residents. The city is also recognized for its rich cultural heritage, with historical sites like Yoshida Castle and a unique streetcar system contributing to its charm.

2. Owari Ichinomiya
Retaining its second-place status, Owari Ichinomiya offers quick access to Nagoya Station in just 15 minutes. The rental prices are also favorable, hovering around 44,000 yen for a 1K. As a hub for families, the city supports a variety of amenities from libraries to childcare facilities, making it an attractive location for those raising children.

3. Okazaki
Jumping into the third spot from eighth place last year, Okazaki's strategic location serves as a link between East and West Aichi. With an average rent of approximately 47,000 yen for a 1K, the city is appealing to a wide demographic. It is not just a historical city, being the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu; it also hosts several shopping centers that enrich the living environment.
