Market Overview

Average Rent Prices

The average rent price for the top 100 restaurant properties saw a slight decrease of approximately 1% as of late 2025. Although some high-value locations like Harajuku maintain elevated prices, the number of stations with rent exceeding 45,000 yen has declined compared to the previous period. A notable concentration of mid-range rents between 42,000 and 44,000 yen likely contributed to this overall decrease.

Centralization of Locations

There is an observable trend of returning to central urban areas, with major commercial and business districts, such as Harajuku, Kamiyacho, and Shinjuku, consistently ranking high. Previous trends showed an expansion into residential areas, which has shifted back to a focus on central urban locations in this survey.

Growth of Business Districts

Multiple stations in the Minato Ward, including Kamiyacho, Naiwaki-cho, Shinbashi, and Azabu Juban, have recorded significant rent increases. This is attributed to ongoing redevelopment and clustering of office spaces, which has heightened commercial demand within these business districts. Complemented by an increase in daytime populations and recovering visitor numbers, this has led to rising rental prices in these desirable areas.
