Demand for office space in central Tokyo is higher than ever, with vacancy rates falling<\/a> to below 2 percent last year for the first time since 1991. With such high demand comes increased competition, driving the prices higher on traditional office leases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average monthly rent<\/a> for a 50-square-meter office in Tokyo is $2,090 USD. This doesn’t include a broker’s fee (typically another month’s rent) or the security deposit (up to 10 month’s worth of rent). For flexible office space, the monthly rate continues to climb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workspace solutions like WeWork help solve this, providing flexible, all-inclusive offices to accommodate businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a creative freelancer who needs a dedicated workspace or an established firm that’s expanding into a new market, WeWork helps you secure office space in Tokyo\u2014and takes the complexity out of moving in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s where you can find unexpectedly affordable office space in Tokyo<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
