Summary of Findings

The average rental cost for properties in the top 100 stations slightly increased by 0.86% compared to the previous year, indicating a gradual rise in demand even in suburban areas. Traditionally, the higher-priced zones were centered in urban commercial districts, but newfound trends are showing residential areas like Yoyogi Hachiman, Nakano, and Shinsen entering the rankings.

Rental Trends in Ginza and Shibuya

Ginza's rental market, noted for consistently high prices, continues to trend upwards, with both Ginza 1-chome and Takaracho making notable ranks this time. Additionally, properties in the Shibuya district, including Omotesando and Yoyogi Hachiman, have shown great competitiveness, dominating the top ten.

Umeda's Unique Place in Rental Rankings

Further, Umeda in Osaka is highlighted as the only regional city to secure a spot in the top ten. The area's upcoming developments, such as the Grand Green Osaka and the Osaka-Kansai Expo, are contributing to a surge in tourism and event-based demand, which helps to support rental prices.

Looking ahead, Restaurant Dot Com promises to continue its data analysis to provide valuable insights for restaurant owners and operators, ensuring they have the necessary information to thrive in a competitive market.
