Tokyo rent 2026: what are you actually paying?
Worth checking Ota ward along the Tokyu Ikegami line. I renewed in March, went from 87,000 to 89,500, so barely anything. Kamata has the JR plus the airport line and you can still find 1LDKs under 95,000 if you go a few blocks past the station. Nerima on the Seibu side is similar.
kamata is solid but the 1LDKs under 95k are usually a good 12-15 min walk, past the shotengai. anything within 5 min of the west exit jumps to 110k+. how far out did yours end up
west exit shortcut through the shotengai cuts it to 8 min
The 130k average is skewed by the 23 wards' newer buildings. Renewal letters usually reflect the landlord's fixed costs, not the market, so expect small bumps. Look at Katsushika along the Keisei line, still under 100k.
Edogawa side of the Arakawa, quieter
true, tho the tradeoff is bus access to the station in some of those pockets. check how far u actually are from a tobu skytree stop before signing
quieter for sure but the flood maps are the tradeoff, check those before signing anything close to the river
yeah renewal bumps have been small, mine went up maybe 3k. but watch the 更新料 every two years, that one stings more than the monthly. kanamachi & shibamata side still doable if ur fine being 15 min from nippori on the joban local
Tokyo residence certificate 2026: stuck on the ward office step
Timing matters more than people think, the kuyakusho gets slammed right after the New Year and again in early April. Go on a weekday afternoon around 2 or 3, the morning rush is brutal. The counter for juminhyo is on the second floor, take a numbered ticket at the machine first.
Second this, avoid the first weekday after a three day weekend.
You file at the ward you actually live in now, so Shibuya. The Udagawacho office is the main Shibuya kuyakusho, that's the right one. Bring your juminhyo from the old ward if you have it, but they can pull it across anyway.
also grab your my number card and a residence card if you have one, they ask at the counter
Correct, and the tensuiki todoke is the bit they actually check.
bring hanko & proof of move-out date from ur old ward, they sometimes ask for the tensuiki todoke
