Yokohama's most expensive ward
Nishi Ward includes Yokohama Station and most of Minato Mirai. Condos cost about ¥1.1M per m² in 2025, the highest of Yokohama's 18 wards and about 1.9 times the Kanagawa average, up from 1.6 times ten years ago. Minato Mirai towers sell at about ¥1.6M per m², close to central Tokyo levels.
Growing fastest in Yokohama
Population grew 3.0% between 2020 and 2025, the most of Yokohama's wards, while Kanagawa as a whole shrank 0.5%. In 2025 Nishi had a net inflow from the rest of Japan of about 8 per 1,000 residents, the second highest in the city.
Prices
Prices per m² rose about 6% a year over the past five years, slightly faster than before. The median condo sold for about ¥27M, the same as in 2024. Benchmark residential land rose about 7% in the past year.
Small flats dominate
More than half of condo sales are studios; the 20 m² 1K at about ¥20M is the most traded home. Family 2LDKs and 3LDKs sell at about ¥57–65M. Tobe and Nishi-Yokohama are cheaper than Minato Mirai and Takashimacho, at about ¥0.95–1.0M per m². Hinodecho and Tennocho are the cheapest.
Yields and risks
A median condo costs about 30 years of median rent, better than the Kanagawa average of 35. About 60% of benchmark sites are in a flood zone and the same share in a tsunami zone, all on the low land by the harbour. The Central Yokohama and Waterfront renewal area covers Yokohama Station and Minato Mirai.
