Tokyo's Wealthiest Neighbourhood: Hiroo, Shibuya Ward
Hiroo (広尾), nestled between Ebisu, Roppongi, and Aoyama, is widely regarded as Tokyo’s most affluent residential district.
Why Hiroo?
- Real Estate Prices – Consistently top ¥3–5 million per tsubo (3.3 m²); luxury mansions and high-rise towers.
- Resident Profile – CEOs, diplomats, celebrities, old-money families.
- Amenities – Michelin-star restaurants, international schools (ASIJ, BST), premium supermarkets (National Azabu), boutique clinics.
- Ambience – Quiet, tree-lined streets; low traffic; embassy presence enhances security.
Neighbouring Azabu, Aoyama, and Shoto rival Hiroo, but Hiroo’s combination of privacy, convenience, and prestige keeps it at the pinnacle.
