Shop space for rent near stations in Tokyo

What it does

Every Monday: shop and restaurant space for rent within 500 m of the best-rated train and subway stations in Tokyo, only the new listings, with the rent, size, rent per m2 and the walk to the station, the best value first, emailed and on a map.

In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Tokyo, find train stations and subway stations in the area, find the retail and restaurant listings for rent within 500 m of each place (Japan), keep only new ones, sort them by price_per_sqm and keep the top 50, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Good units near a station go within days. The expansion team sees each new one the week it is listed, with the rent per m2 to compare and the walk to the station, without checking the property sites by hand.

Who it is for

Retail & franchise expansion. Expansion, real estate and network planning teams deciding where the next store or franchise goes. Every use case for retail & franchise

Best use cases

• A cafe chain opening in Japan
• A retail brand entering Tokyo
• A restaurant group looking for its next site

What each run gives you

• A weekly email
• A map

The time it saves

Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 6 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
