Rental Prices for Condominium Apartments in the Greater Tokyo Area Rise for Two Consecutive Months

On December 15, 2025, Tokyo Kantei Co. released data on monthly rental price trends for condominium apartments across Japan's three major metropolitan areas. The rental prices were calculated based on the asking rent per square meter.

In the Greater Tokyo Area, the average rent increased for the second consecutive month, reaching ¥3,967 per square meter, a 2.0% rise from the previous month. This increase was mainly influenced by strong demand in Tokyo and expanding market share. Tokyo’s rent rose by 0.9%, reaching ¥4,719 per square meter. Kanagawa also saw a 1.2% increase, although rents still remain below the previous year’s level. However, Saitama and Chiba experienced slight declines in rents, with average rents falling by 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively, likely due to the aging of existing properties.

In the Kinki region, Osaka saw a 0.9% rise in average rents, reaching ¥2,256 per square meter, driven by a stronger market in Osaka city. Osaka’s rent rose by 2.1%, while Hyogo saw a slight decrease of 0.1%.

In the Chubu region, rents dropped slightly, with the average in Aichi Prefecture falling by 1.4%. This decline followed a sharp increase in rents earlier in the year, but the overall trend remains stable and resilient.

Overall, the rental market shows diverse trends across regions, with significant fluctuations based on local market conditions and property age.
