Your questions answered
Common questions
What is the average price of office space in Japan?
Office space in Japan typically costs between ¥80,000 and ¥220,000 per desk per month for flexible workspace, with Tokyo commanding the clear top of the range. Marunouchi, Otemachi and Roppongi premium serviced and managed suites can exceed ¥260,000 per desk. Osaka’s Umeda and Honmachi sit 30 to 40 percent below Tokyo. Nagoya, Fukuoka and Yokohama offer equivalent product at 40 to 60 percent lower pricing, driven by weaker gateway demand.
What office space options are available in Japan?
Japan offers three main types of flexible workspace: serviced offices, coworking spaces and managed offices. Serviced offices provide private fitted suites on short-term contracts with reception, meeting rooms and high-speed internet included. Coworking delivers hot desks and dedicated desks in shared professional environments. Managed offices provide a bespoke private floor designed, fitted and run by an operator on a single monthly fee covering furniture, technology and building services.
What are the best locations for office space in Japan?
Japan’s principal office markets are Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Yokohama and Sapporo. Tokyo dominates nationally, with demand clustered in Marunouchi, Otemachi, Roppongi, Shibuya and Shinjuku. Osaka leads Kansai through Umeda, Nakanoshima and Honmachi, home to Panasonic and Takeda. Nagoya anchors the automotive belt through Toyota’s corporate base. Fukuoka is Kyushu’s commercial centre, Yokohama’s Minato Mirai supports regional finance and Sapporo leads Hokkaido.
What are typical office lease terms in Japan?
Flexible office space in Japan is available from one month upwards, with most operators offering rolling monthly or 12-month agreements inclusive of furniture, utilities, cleaning and reception. This contrasts with the conventional Japanese commercial lease, which typically runs 2 years with automatic renewal, requires significant shikikin deposits of 6 to 12 months’ rent, reikin key money, and places fit-out and restoration costs fully on the occupier.
Is Japan a good location to set up a business?
Japan is the world’s third-largest economy and a major global office market, led by manufacturing, automotive, financial services, technology, real estate and professional services. Tokyo hosts most Nikkei 225 HQs including Toyota (corporate base in Nagoya), Sony, Mitsubishi UFJ and SoftBank. Osaka anchors pharma and advanced electronics, Nagoya leads automotive through Toyota, and Yokohama supports Nissan. The country remains a top destination for Asian regional HQs.
