Nach meiner Tabelle mit den Mieten in Tokio nach Bahnhof haben viele von Ihnen nach einer Ansicht mit der Zuglinie gefragt. Hier ist sie: Durchschnittsmiete für ein 1K-Studio (ein Zimmer + Küche, ~20–25 m²) auf jeder der 27 Hauptlinien Tokios.
Die JR Yamanote-Schleife, die Linie, die die meisten Leute als Referenz verwenden, liegt mit ¥ 120.000 (~ 750 $) ganz oben. Das gleiche Studio fährt auf der teuersten Linie (Tokyo Metro Ginza, ¥ 131.000) etwa 64 % mehr als auf der günstigsten (Seibu Ikebukuro, ¥ 80.000) – allein die Wahl der Linie beeinflusst die Miete erheblich.
Mediane, keine Durchschnittswerte. USD umgerechnet bei ~160 JPY pro Dollar.

Data: 528,660 active rental listings across Tokyo (2026), from the major Japanese rental portals, deduplicated. Made with Python (pandas + matplotlib). Full breakdown by ward, line and station: [tokyo-expat.com/data](http://tokyo-expat.com/data)
Guess my dreams of living in shinjuku aren’t ruined for now
Damn the median 1BR in Austin right now is like $1,400. Insane how inflated the US housing market is, largely due to corporate manipulation
Important fact for non-Japanese: landlords will not give prices like this to non-Japanese renters. (Many landlords will not rent to foreigners at all.) Expect to pay double what’s listed here, at least.
I just looked it up to get a *rough* comparison of what it’d be like in the US.
The United States Median Salary is $6,228 per month. Japan Median Salary is the equivalent of $2,448 USD per month, so the income multiplier is 2.54x. So that $820 apartment is the equivalent of $2,085/month in the US. The cheapest one down at the bottom is $1270.
So, honestly, not that much different than in the US, if anything it’s a bit cheaper.
Is this only for Tokyo? Because for a lot of these, they go outside Tokyo, dragging the prices downward.
What does it mean to be ‚on‘ a train line? What is the precise definition?
Curious, where would JR Joban line and Keisei rank on here? Those are the first two rail line omissions that I noticed.
Tokyo is a good reminder that housing affordability isn’t just about demand : when supply keeps growing even one of the world largest cities can avoid the extreme rent inflation seen elsewhere
This is kind of misleading. A lot of those go to low cost areas.
no oimachi line?
surprised to see den entoshi in the middle but maybe because the line span so long to kanagawa
Looking at the whole line? Denentoshi comes all the way out my way and anchors in Yamato City. Odakyu also passes through our neck of the woods, and we’re about 2 hours from Tokyo.
Yay I’m bottom of the barrel living in between the Seibu Shinjuku and Seibu Ikebukuro lines!
