START WITH THE ADDRESS
A ward identifies an administrative area. A station helps you plan a journey. A neighborhood name gives orientation. Save the full property address so these three labels do not become interchangeable.
From a place name to a useful shortlist
Confirm the address and its ward.
Use the municipal website for resident information.
Check the exact station entrance and full journey.
Verify the home’s dimensions, rules and arrangements.
No matching ward. Try its English or Japanese name, or clear the search.
The rest of Tokyo also matters
This directory covers the 23 special wards. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s municipality directory also includes the Tama area and islands. Use that official directory when the address you are researching is outside this list.
Use each source for the question it can answer
Municipal websites can help you find resident information and the appropriate local office. They do not establish the current rent, availability or suitability of a particular home. Check the provider’s exact description and documents for those details.
Ward identities and municipal links follow the Tokyo Metropolitan Government municipality directory, consulted 7 October 2026. Some municipal sites use Japanese or offer automatic translation. Research steps on this page are our editorial suggestions.
