Fashion-Forward Investment in Minami-Aoyama
This distinctive one-room apartment is located in the highly desirable Minami-Aoyama 6-chome district of Tokyo's Minato Ward. The property is part of the 'Faro Minami-Aoyama' building, a designer collaboration residence associated with renowned fashion designer Junko Koshino. The building faces the famous Antique Street (骨董通り), adding to its prestigious character. The apartment offers a generous ceiling height of 2700mm, reflecting the attention to detail in its design.
According to agent notes, the property is currently tenanted, generating a monthly rent of 260,000 yen, which translates to an estimated annual rental income of 3.12 million yen and a yield of approximately 3.67%. The layout is a one-room type with a 17-tatami mat Western-style room and an 8.52 sqm balcony facing east for primary sunlight. Special features include a designer aesthetic, tile-clad exterior, seismic isolation structure, and a distance of over 2 meters from adjacent buildings. Pet ownership (small dogs and cats) is negotiable, and use as an office is also permitted. The building has a mechanical parking lot with availability, though certain restrictions apply.
Equipment includes a 2-burner stove, closet, elevator, and a paid bicycle parking area (300 yen per month). The building is a 13-story above-ground (plus one basement) steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) structure with 44 total units. This apartment is on the 6th floor. Monthly fees include a management fee of 15,400 yen and a repair reserve fund of 6,200 yen.
The vibrant Minami-Aoyama area is known for its fashion boutiques, art galleries, and chic cafes lining its tree-covered streets. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Omotesando Boulevard is often compared to the Champs-Élysées in Paris for its broad, zelkova-tree-lined avenue and high-end shopping. The closest major landmark is the iconic Meiji Jingu Shrine, a vast Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, located just a short distance away and offering a serene escape from the urban energy.
