Center of Politics and Economy

The area near Imperial Palace, such as Otemachi, Marunouchi, Yurakucho, Uchisaiwaicho, Kasumigaseki, Nagatacho, Hayabusacho and Hirakawacho in Chiyoda Ward are the centers of Japan’s economics.

Center of Commerce

Ginza, Roppongi, Akasaka, Aoyama, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, and Shibuya are representative commercial areas in central Tokyo. The highest land price in a commercial area is around 53.8 million yen per square meter in front of Yamano Music Store in Ginza 4-chome, and it’s likely that Ginza will remain the pinnacle of commercial areas for the foreseeable future. There are also commercial areas slightly further out, like Shimokitazawa and Jiyugaoka, but these are also adjacent to peaceful residential neighborhoods.

Internationality

The location of embassies and foreign missions can also be described as prime locations. Areas such as Minami-Azabu in Minato Ward, near Arisugawa Park, including 3-chome, 4-chome, and 5-chome, as well as 2-chome in Mita, Minato Ward, near the Tsunamachi Mitsui Club, are among the top residential areas in Tokyo. Additionally, places like 2-chome in Hiroo, Shibuya Ward, and 2-chome in Sarugakucho, or 2-chome in Mita (which is different from the one in Minato Ward) in Meguro Ward are also considered prime locations.

Flying over Tokyo or observing it from tall buildings allows you to feel where there is more greenery in the city. Let’s find out where in Tokyo.
