As a symbol of "wealth" and "power", The sixth ward of Tokyo's Shinkan is always an unavoidable topic, and there has been a joke: "1% of people control 80% of the world's wealth, and the remaining 99% are discussing the 1%" - as we are now.
Don't know what the status of people who can live in high-end luxury housing areas is in your mind, corporate executives? Doctor lawyer? Or a star entertainer? If you want to live in this area where the value of the house price and land price is very high, money and status are indispensable, and today I will explore who the 1% who lives in this prestigious port area of Maburi is.
Minato-ku is located in the southern part of the six wards of Toshin, with an area of about 20.34 square kilometers, close to Tokyo Bay, with a total population of about 240,000, and the number of people in the shibuya district next door (about 230,000 people).
Minato is home to large companies from Japan and abroad, making minato the most popular residential area among high-income white-collar workers. In particular, the three areas of "Azabu", "Aoyama", and "Akasaka", are also customarily referred to as the 3A area because the first letter of the Roman sound is A, and the minato area is a three-legged residential brand area.
In 1947, the Minato-ku Azabu was formed by the merger of the three districts of the then "Former Azabu District", "Former Shiba Ward" and "Former Akasaka-ku". Despite the merger of administrative divisions, the current Azabu district of Minato District and the old Azabu District basically refer to the same area.
At present, the recognized Minato area refers to the eight areas of "Azabu Tanuki-cho", "Azabu Nagasaka-cho", "Minami Azabu", "Moto-azabu", "Nishi-azabu", "Azabudai", "Azabu Juban" and "Higashi-Azabu". Although the Minato Azabu is close to the Well-known Roppongi, it is customary for locals to separate the high-end residential area of Azabu from the downtown area of Roppongi, and perhaps this "mysterious behavior" adds a mysterious color to the Minato Azabu.
Although Minato-ku Azabu is geographically located in the city center, the reason why it used to be famous was not "good location", but "extremely inconvenient transportation".
Yes, I didn't expect that inconvenient travel can also become an advantage of a lot, after all, in the vicinity of Minami Azabu and Azabu Juban, the title of "Rikujiku Island (Land Island)" has been circulating for decades, and because of its unique geographical location, it has perfectly isolated itself from the hustle and bustle of the city, accumulating super popularity for its own streets that are "hidden in the city". It was not until the opening of the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and the Toei Subway Oedo Line that the convenience was instantly improved, and the charm of the streets became widely known.
The port area of Azabu is relatively advantageous in terms of terrain. In particular, there are many "terraces (terrain below the plateau, above the plains)" in the high-end residential areas, and there are many high-end residential buildings along both sides of the main road.
Another feature of Azabu in Minato is that embassies and international schools from all over the world gather, such as the Austrian Embassy, the Argentine Embassy, the Tokyo American Club, etc., gathering a large number of foreigners.
From 3-chome to 5-chome in Minami Azabu, as well as the Embassy of France and germany, it is an area in the Azabu area that is known as a high-class residence. In addition to the large area of the Yusugawa Shrine Memorial Park, the surrounding area is also close to Hiroo Station on the Hibiya Line, and the convenience is also very high.
So the point is, what do the people who live here do?
According to the census data released by Japan, there are 44,766 people living in the 8 areas of Azabu in the Minato District, with a population density of 17,021.3/k㎡. As a residential area in the heart of the city, it is already very spacious in the entire Tokyo metropolitan area.
From the perspective of age structure, minors under the age of 15 account for 12.8%, 70.8% of the population aged 15 to 64, and 16.3% of the population over the age of 65. In addition, the proportion of foreigners reached 10.5% (the average proportion of foreigners in the entire port area was only 7%), especially the Azabu Nagasaka Town and Motozabu, which have more embassies and consulates, accounted for 18%.
The entire Minato area of Azabu has 24,566 families with a single rate of 54.7%, which is one of the few regions with a single rate of more than 50%. In families, 14.5 per cent of couples live together and 18.2 per cent of them live with children, with one child in every 5 families.
Based on the use of dwellings, the owner-occupied rate is 48% and the occupancy rate is 52%, almost half and half. 12.7 per cent of households lived in a single-family building.
There are 15,677 people over the age of 15, of which the largest proportion is the "medical welfare" practitioners, a total of 1508 people, followed by "scientific research personnel, professional and technical service personnel" 1437 people, "information and communication industry" 1320 people, and finally "wholesale and retail industry" employees, accounting for 1050 people.
Therefore, for the "workers", the people who work more decently and live in Azabu in the Hong Kong area are doctors and medical workers.
14% (2,182) of the total number of directors in a company or more, and almost 1 in 6 people is a director of the company.
Therefore, we can probably feel the professional atmosphere of the whole neighborhood, and the vast majority of those who can live in Azabu in minato are either corporate executives or doctors, which is indeed in line with the characteristics of Japan's "rich people" - social status and wealth.
Although the average public land price in the port area has fallen by 0.58% this year, it is almost negligible compared to the 6.9% appreciation for the whole year last year.
Of the average published land prices of azabu, more than 77% of the areas have maintained a high trend. If you buy an apartment of about 60 square meters in the area where the most expensive land price is announced, the land price can easily soar to more than 200 million yen.
If calculated according to the average transaction price of second-hand houses in Azabu in the Port Area last year (an average of 1,525,000 yen /㎡), it would cost nearly 100 million yuan (91.5 million) to buy a 60㎡ second-hand apartment, which is almost a height that ordinary workers can't reach in their lifetimes.
The growth in the value of property in Azabu in the minato area is very stable, and there will be no sharp rises and falls. With the influx of high-net-worth individuals, Azabu is optimistic for a long time in both the housing market and the rental market, and the risk of asset value decline is small.
The fact that the land area of Azabu is very spacious has been continued to this day, which has attracted many developers to build more modern high-end homes here.
This has also led to the land price in this area, but also the quality control of high-end residential buildings has become more and more stringent, many buildings have planned gyms, swimming pools, security facilities, hotel-style services and so on in the early stage of construction.
Land is expensive, house prices are expensive, but it has attracted more Japanese rich and high-net-worth overseas investors to buy houses here, this kind of positive incentive and mutual attraction, which cannot be achieved in many regions.
