Daikanyama Tower Residence, Tokyo
Daikanyamacho, Shibuya-ku — one minute from Daikanyama station, Tokyo, Japan
Why We Selected It
Daikanyama is the neighbourhood Tokyoites name when asked where they would live if money were not the question: low-rise streets of independent shops and coffee, the Tsutaya bookstore that people fly in to see, and a park at the corner — yet Shibuya is one stop and Ebisu a nine-minute walk. This apartment sits inside that in the most practical way possible. A minute from the ticket gate, on the eleventh floor of a Kajima- and Taisei-built tower designed by Nihonsekkei, with Nomura managing 501 apartments to a standard you can see in the lobby. The interior has been redone quietly and well — oak floors, a textured lit wall, an island kitchen — and the southwest orientation gives the living room afternoon light and city sky. Freehold land rights, no restrictions on foreign buyers, and a supermarket fifty metres from the door.

Life Here
The station
Tokyu Toyoko line at Daikanyama is one minute on foot — Shibuya is the next stop. Ebisu, on the Hibiya and Yamanote lines, is a nine-minute walk.
Daily life
Peacock supermarket 50 metres away, Welcia pharmacy 100 metres, the post office 240 metres and a 7-Eleven 280 metres. Daikanyama Park is at 60 metres.
The neighbourhood
Daikanyama and Ebisu together are the most walkable stretch of central Tokyo: Tsutaya's flagship bookstore, Hillside Terrace, small galleries, wine bars and some of the city's best casual food, all at low-rise scale.
Family
Sarugaku elementary school is 440 metres and Hachiyama junior high 600 metres; Tokyo Mutual Aid hospital is just over a kilometre.
Our Perspective
Why it works
A finished, vacant, freehold home one minute from the station in the neighbourhood central Tokyo values most — bought without the wait, the renovation or the language barrier.
Ownership case
Shibuya-ku resale has risen every year for over a decade, and land in Daikanyama is fixed: nothing of this scale will be built here again. Large, professionally managed buildings near the gate are the part of the market that stays liquid in every cycle.
What makes it special
One minute from Daikanyama station on foot, freehold and freshly renovated, with southwest light over the city; a supermarket sits fifty metres away, Daikanyama Park sixty, and Shibuya is one stop down the line.
Best suited for
A couple or small family wanting a genuine Tokyo base for part of the year, or an owner pairing a city apartment with a house in the mountains.
