As Tokyo’s property market continues to evolve in 2025, a key question is emerging for both foreign investors and international residents:
“Should I focus on Tokyo’s central wards, or are the suburbs now a smarter bet?”
A fully leased income-producing property in Tokyo with a hotel business license, offering stable cash flow and proximity to major tourist hubs.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a whole building in Tokyo’s historic downtown, Minami-Senju (Taito Ward), fully licensed under Japan’s Hotel Business Act (Ryokan License – Simplified Lodging). Located just 15 minutes by train from Asakusa, this property is ideally positioned to serve inbound tourism demand, while generating immediate income from existing leases.
