Office space in Tokyo — direct from operators. No agent. No fee.

Tokyo flex space runs ¥40,000–120,000/desk/month depending on district and grade. Roppongi and Marunouchi command premium rates (¥80,000–200,000/desk); Shinjuku and Shibuya offer more mid-market options (¥40,000–80,000/desk). On a £-equivalent basis, Tokyo's median dedicated desk (≈£342) is comparable to London's mid-market. Exchange rates as of May 2026: £1 ≈ ¥190.

WeWork (~11 Tokyo locations across Marunouchi, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Roppongi, Akasaka, Ginza, Ikebukuro, Omotesando), Regus/IWG (multiple Signature locations including Nissay Marunouchi, Roppongi Hills expanded site), Servcorp (Marunouchi and Shinjuku premium addresses), The Hive (Shibuya, 1-6-5 Jinnan), .andwork (Shibuya, 24/7), BIZcomfort, Fabbit (9 Tokyo locations), Hatchspace, and Creative Lounge MOV serve the Tokyo market.

Yes — flex operators in Tokyo offer month-to-month and 6–12 month licence agreements. Unlike conventional Japanese office leases (which carry deposit requirements of 6–12 months' rent), flex licences require minimal upfront: typically first month's fee plus a small security deposit. .andwork Shibuya offers weekly plans with 24/7 access. WeWork, Regus, and BIZcomfort all offer rolling monthly options. Foreign-incorporated entities can take flex space without a Japanese entity.

All six hub districts have excellent metro connectivity — Tokyo's subway is the world's most used urban rail system. Marunouchi: JR Tokyo Station (Yamanote, Chuo, Shinkansen). Shibuya: 5 rail lines, 3M passengers/day, direct to Shinjuku (2 min), Roppongi (4 min), Haneda (25 min). Roppongi: Hibiya Line and Oedo Line. Shinjuku: Japan's busiest terminal, 12 lines. Ginza: 3 Metro lines. Akasaka: Chiyoda Line + 4-line Tameike-sanno interchange. The Japan Rail Pass covers Shinkansen for national travel.

Tokyo agency fees (agent's commission) are typically ~1 month's rent, paid by the tenant or split with the landlord. For a ¥80,000/month Marunouchi space, that is ¥80,000 (≈£421) per deal — the highest commission exposure of any Seek international market on a £-equivalent basis. Seek's direct model eliminates this layer entirely — your enquiry goes direct to the operator at their real price.

Coworking (The Hive, .andwork, BIZcomfort, Fabbit) offers hot-desking or dedicated desks in open or semi-open spaces — suitable for freelancers, small teams, and solo operators. .andwork Shibuya operates 24/7 on weekly plans. Serviced offices (WeWork, Regus Signature, Servcorp) offer private enclosed rooms with full business infrastructure, reception services, and 24/7 access — more suitable for 5–20 person teams. Both operate under flex licences, avoiding the 6–12 month deposit requirement of conventional bail commercial leases.

Yes — .andwork Shibuya operates 24/7 on weekly plans. WeWork locations (all 11 Tokyo sites) have 24/7 card access for members. Several Fabbit and BIZcomfort locations offer extended hours. Night shift workers, founders on Japanese time, and teams collaborating across time zones should confirm access terms with the specific operator — some restrict late-night access to private office members only.

Start with your district priority: Marunouchi for corporate prestige and financial services; Roppongi for multinationals and embassies; Shibuya for tech startups and venture-backed teams; Shinjuku for best value with excellent connectivity; Ginza for luxury retail and premium corporate; Akasaka for legal, government, and business services. Then filter by team size and move-in timeline. Seek's direct model means you see operator pricing without a broker's margin baked in — compare directly and enquire in one step.
