According to August 2026 data, Tokyo's rental market is experiencing an upward trend, with condominium rental prices reaching an average of 5,170 yen per square meter.

This increase can be attributed to rising demand, particularly for new properties, and recent economic shifts. For international residents, this trend may limit housing options as rental prices climb.

Moreover, in central Tokyo, the shortage of available rental properties combined with high demand continues to drive prices up, indicating a persistent upward trend in the rental market.
