A Rare Opportunity in Shoto, Shibuya — Refined Living and Resilient Value in Tokyo’s Premier Residential District
Located in the heart of Shoto 1-chome — a neighborhood long revered as the pinnacle of luxury living in Tokyo — this exceptional residence offers not only architectural presence and privacy, but also rare long-term investment stability.
Just a few minutes from the energy of Shibuya, Shoto has quietly retained its status as Tokyo’s most exclusive low-rise residential enclave. It is home to embassies, private schools, cultural institutions, and elegant tree-lined streets — protected by strict zoning that limits density and preserves its refined character. This balance of serenity and accessibility makes it a perennial favorite among executives, artists, and international families alike.
Investment Perspective
Over the past decade, Shoto has proven to be one of Tokyo’s most stable and high-performing real estate markets. Land values in both Shoto 1-chome and 2-chome have risen significantly:
-

(Approx. +27.3% over six years) -

-
,000/sqm in 2024
(Approx. +31.4% over eight years)
In fact, Shoto 2-chome saw a 10.1% price increase in just the past year — a remarkable gain even by global luxury market standards such as New York or London.
