Lions Plaza Shinjuku: A Prime Investment in Tokyo's Vibrant Heart
This studio apartment in Lions Plaza Shinjuku presents a compelling investment opportunity in one of Tokyo's most dynamic districts. Located in the bustling Kabukicho 2-chome area of Shinjuku, the property offers a prime location just a 7-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, a 5-minute walk from Toei Oedo Line's Higashi-shinjuku Station, and a 7-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line's Shinjuku-sanchome Station. The building is a 14-story reinforced concrete (SRC) structure built in July 1983, meeting new earthquake-resistant standards, and features a tiled exterior and an auto-lock security system for peace of mind.
The unit itself is a studio layout (One Room) with a wall-core exclusive area of 18.22 sqm (approximately 5.51 tsubo) and includes a 1.35 sqm balcony. The building is well-equipped with amenities including an auto-lock system with monitor, two or more elevators, and a dish dryer, storage space, and air conditioning within the unit. The management is fully entrusted with a daytime caretaker and a management association in place. The property is currently tenanted, with an estimated annual rental income of 960,000 yen, yielding an estimated annual return of 4.61%. An owner change is planned for the year. Important notes from the agent specify that the advertised floor plans take precedence over actual conditions, and the transaction is an exclusive intermediary.
The surrounding Shinjuku area is a world-famous entertainment and business hub. An interesting fact is that Shinjuku Station is the world's busiest railway station, serving over 3.5 million people daily. The property is also within easy reach of major tourist attractions like the serene Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a sprawling park blending traditional Japanese, English landscape, and French formal garden styles, offering a peaceful escape from the urban energy just minutes away.
