Tokyo Rental Market Notes

  • • Tokyo central wards: prime yields 3-4% gross, 2-3% net. Outer wards and older buildings push to 5-7%.
  • • Fixed asset tax + city planning tax sit on assessed value (~65% of market), not sticker price.
  • • Management fees and repair reserves are per-sqm monthly — tower mansions can hit ¥500+/sqm.
  • • Building depreciation is generous (RC: 47 yrs, wood: 22 yrs) — meaningful shield for resident investors.
  • • Non-resident withholding of 20.42% is on gross rent. Tenants / agents are legally required to withhold.
