Frequently asked questions

Are foreign tenants able to lease trophy Tokyo space?
Yes, but landlord onboarding is rigorous. Expect to provide multi-year audited financials, parent guarantees if signing as a Japanese subsidiary, and to engage a local agent.
What is genjo kaifuku?
The contractual obligation to restore the leased premises to original condition at lease-end. For Grade A space this commonly costs JPY 30-60k per square meter. Budget it as a known cost from day one.
What is the difference between fixed-term and ordinary leases?
Fixed-term (teiki shakuya) leases end on the date in the contract — no renewal right. Ordinary (futsu shakuya) leases give the tenant strong renewal rights regardless of landlord preference. Trophy buildings increasingly favor fixed-term.
