Broker fee maths

What a broker costs you in Shibuya.

Tokyo agency fees are typically 1 month's rent per deal — paid by the tenant or split with the landlord. On a ¥45,000/desk/month office, that's ¥45,000–¥90,000 in commission on signing. Seek removes this layer.

The intermediary layer you don't see.

Tokyo norm: 1 month's rent as agency fee (仲介手数料), typically paid by the tenant or split landlord/tenant.

Example: ¥45,000/desk/month space → ¥45,000–¥90,000 in commission costs on signing.

Seek removes the intermediary layer — your enquiry goes direct to the Shibuya operator at their real price.

.andwork Shibuya is explicitly 24/7 on weekly plans. WeWork locations grant 24/7 card access to members. Several Fabbit sites offer extended hours. Check membership terms — some operators restrict late-night access to private office members only.

How do I find the right space in Tokyo? ▼

Match district to culture: Shibuya for tech startups and venture-backed teams; Marunouchi for financial services and enterprise; Roppongi for multinationals and consulting. Then filter by team size and move-in timeline. Seek shows operator pricing without broker margins — see real numbers and enquire direct.
