Apartments and Renting in Shibuya Ward

Compare Shibuya apartment rents, layouts, commutes and popular residential areas, then request a current long-term rental search.

The heartbeat of Tokyo's fashion, youth culture, and global business.

Shibuya is far more than its famous crossing. Beyond the retail high-rises lies a highly diverse ward containing tranquil residential enclaves like Shoto and Yoyogi-Uehara, expat-focused lifestyle centers like Hiroo and Ebisu, and massive green spaces like Yoyogi Park. It is highly popular with young professionals, tech entrepreneurs, and international students.
