Sontomi Asakusabashi Ekimae Building: Commercial Space in Central Tokyo
This commercial property, the Sontomi Asakusabashi Ekimae Building, offers a prime retail or office space in the bustling heart of Tokyo's Taito Ward. The unit provides a generous 91.93 square meters (approximately 27.80 tsubo) of exclusive area, ideal for businesses seeking a prominent location. Constructed in September 1989, the building is a sturdy 8-story SRC (steel-reinforced concrete) structure, with this particular unit situated on the 3rd floor.
The property is exceptionally well-connected, located just a 1-minute walk from Asakusabashi Station, served by both the JR Sobu Line and the Toei Asakusa Line. This offers direct access to central hubs like Akihabara and Shinjuku. The layout is a versatile one-room format, providing an open canvas for business customization.
Critical agent notes detail the property's facilities and terms. The unit is equipped with air conditioning, heating, an elevator, a private toilet, and separate men's and women's toilets. Special remarks clarify that for shop (retail) use, the security deposit is 6 months. Two toilet locations and four commercial-use multi-split air conditioning units are treated as remaining fixtures. The renewal fee is equivalent to one month of the new rent. Standard terms include a security deposit of 3 months, a key money (reikin) of 1 month, no gratuity (shikikin), and a contract period of 5 years.
The surrounding Asakusabashi and Kanda area is a dynamic mix of traditional wholesale businesses and modern commerce, known for its costume and accessory shops. A major nearby landmark is the historic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, one of Tokyo's oldest and most significant Buddhist temples, located just a short train ride away, drawing millions of visitors annually and offering a deep cultural contrast to the area's commercial energy.
