If you’re searching for a new luxury apartment in central Tokyo, Mita Garden Hills is probably already on your shortlist. This development marks the first collaboration between Mitsui Fudosan and Mitsubishi Estate in 38 years, and what sets it apart from other luxury projects in central Tokyo is that it actually offers a lot of space.
Mita Garden Hills was completed in 2025 and sits on a 25,000 sqm site in Mita 1-chome, Minato-ku, which makes it one of the largest residential developments in the ward. The complex includes 1,002 units spread across seven buildings (Park Mansion, West Hill, East Hill, North Hill, Centre Hill, South Hill, and Villas), with sizes ranging from compact 29 sqm studios to expansive 376 sqm penthouses.
The location puts you a 5-minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station, which gives you access to both the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and Toei Oedo Line. You’re also within walking distance of Shiba Park and Tokyo Tower.
In this article, we’ll cover pricing, floor plans, and unit types across the seven buildings, the full amenity package, and who this development is actually designed for.

The site has historical significance because it occupies the former grounds of the Ministry of Communications, and the developers preserved and incorporated elements of the original building into the entrance areas. This is the same approach that made Hiroo Garden Hills (completed in 1987) one of Tokyo’s most sought-after vintage properties, which explains why this new development carries the “Garden Hills” branding.
The development also holds ZEH-Oriented certification, with on-site solar and fuel cell power generation, and residents have access to hotel-level concierge services through an Imperial Hotel partnership.
Location & Access
Mita Garden Hills sits in Mita 1-chome, one of the quieter pockets of Minato-ku that still puts you within easy reach of central Tokyo’s major hubs.
The closest station is Azabu-Juban Station, a 5-minute walk, which gives you access to both the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and the Toei Oedo Line. You can also reach Shiba Park Station on the Toei Mita Line in about 10 minutes on foot, and Shirokane-Takanawa Station is roughly an 8-minute walk if you need the Namboku Line or Mita Line from that direction.
From Azabu-Juban, you can get to Roppongi in about 5 minutes, Shibuya in around 15 minutes, and Tokyo Station in roughly 20 minutes. The Oedo Line also gives you direct access to Shinjuku without transferring.
The immediate surroundings include Shiba Park and Tokyo Tower, both within walking distance, as well as the historic Tsunamachi Mitsui Club grounds right next door.
Floor Plans & Unit Types
Mita Garden Hills offers around 220 floor plan configurations across its seven buildings, giving you a lot of flexibility depending on your space requirements and budget.
Unit sizes range from 29.34 sqm on the smaller end to 376.50 sqm at the top end, with unit types spanning Studio (1R), 1LDK, 2LDK, 3LDK, and 4LDK layouts.
Studio Apartments (approximately 29-40 sqm)
The studio units start at around 29.34 sqm and target professionals who want a foothold in one of Tokyo’s most prestigious addresses without the price tag of larger configurations.
These units can also be used for SOHO purposes, making them attractive to business owners or remote workers who want to combine living and working space. Entry-level pricing during the initial sales phase started at approximately ¥150 million for units around 30 sqm.
2LDK Apartments (approximately 67-130 sqm)
Two-bedroom units make up a significant portion of the inventory and range from around 67 sqm to over 128 sqm, depending on the building and floor plan. A 2LDK unit in Park Mansion at 84.68 sqm was priced at approximately ¥290 million during the initial sales phase, while larger configurations at 102-104 sqm in Park Mansion are currently listed between ¥850 million and ¥950 million. South Hill offers 2LDK units of approximately 102 sqm at approximately ¥995 million, and East Hill offers 2LDK units of approximately 85 sqm.
These units typically include walk-in closets, double vanity bathrooms, natural stone flooring in the living areas, and floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize natural light. Corner units benefit from dual exposures and enhanced views across the development’s private gardens or the Tsunamachi Mitsui Club grounds.
3LDK Apartments (approximately 98-190 sqm)
Three-bedroom units cater to families and residents who need more space for guests, staff, or home offices. A 3LDK unit at 109.72 sqm was listed at approximately ¥410 million during the initial sales, while Park Mansion offers 3LDK configurations ranging from around 98 sqm to over 128 sqm. Some 3LDK units in Park Mansion feature large terraces of nearly 40 sqm, significantly expanding usable living space.
Rental listings for 3LDK units around 80 sqm in South Hill show monthly rents between ¥1,000,000 and ¥1,100,000, and the 150 sqm+ units concentrated in Park Mansion represent some of the most sought-after residences in the development.
4LDK & Penthouse Apartments (approximately 260-376 sqm)
The largest units in Mita Garden Hills approach house-like proportions and are designed for buyers who want the space and privacy of a single-family home combined with the amenities and security of a managed building. The top penthouse unit in Park Mansion is a 4LDK residence of approximately 260 sqm that was offered at around ¥5.5 billion and has reportedly already sold, which set a new record for Japanese condominium pricing at over ¥21 million per tsubo.
Units at the top end of the size range reach up to 376.50 sqm with pricing up to ¥4.5 billion. These properties are typically available through private sales rather than public listings, so direct inquiry with agents who have relationships with the developers is essential if you’re targeting this end of the market.
Pricing & Rental Rates
Mita Garden Hills spans a wide price range, depending on unit size, building, and floor position, with purchase prices ranging from around ¥150 million for entry-level studios to ¥5.5 billion for the top penthouse units.
Purchase Prices
Sales for Mita Garden Hills began in February 2023, and the first phase was divided into five stages, with approximately 700 units delivered. The developer has not publicly disclosed detailed sales performance, but they confirmed that owner-occupiers and second-home buyers account for about 80% of purchasers so far.
Here’s a breakdown of reported pricing by unit type:
| Unit Type | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | ~30 sqm | From ¥150 million |
| 2LDK | 84.68 sqm | ~¥290 million |
| 2LDK | 102-104 sqm | ¥850-995 million |
| 3LDK | 109.72 sqm | ~¥410 million |
| 3LDK | 128 sqm | ~¥1.05 billion |
| 4LDK Penthouse | ~260 sqm | ~¥5.5 billion |
| Largest units | 376 sqm | Up to ¥4.5 billion |
The average price per tsubo (approximately 3.3 sqm) is around ¥13 million, which puts Mita Garden Hills at the top end of Tokyo’s luxury condominium market. The ¥5.5 billion penthouse sale reportedly set a new record for Japanese condominium pricing at over ¥21 million per tsubo.
Rental Rates
For those looking to rent rather than buy, Mita Garden Hills units are now appearing on the rental market following the March 2025 completion. Here’s what current listings show:
| Unit Type | Size | Monthly Rent |
|---|---|---|
| 2LDK | 84.68 sqm | ~¥1,850,000 |
| 3LDK | ~80 sqm | ¥1,000,000-1,100,000 |
| 3LDK | 127 sqm | ~¥2,250,000 |
Rental terms follow standard Tokyo luxury property structures, which typically include a security deposit of 2-4 months’ rent, key money of 1-2 months’ rent (varies by owner), agency fees of 1 month’s rent plus tax, and a standard lease term of 2 years.
Monthly management fees and repair reserve fees vary by unit size and building, but you should expect them to add a meaningful amount to your mortgage or rental payment. Specific fee schedules are available from developers or listing agents upon request
Amenities & Building Services
What sets Mita Garden Hills apart from other luxury developments in Tokyo is the sheer scope of its shared facilities. The development includes approximately 3,000 sqm of amenities spread across the complex, which means residents rarely need to leave the property for recreation, fitness, or dining.
Fitness & Wellness
The wellness facilities at Mita Garden Hills are primarily located in Park Mansion and West Hill and include a swimming pool, a fitness center with modern equipment, a golf range, a sauna, a stone sauna (bedrock bath), and spa facilities.
West Hill, in particular, was designed with a wellness focus and offers residents of that building closer access to the spa amenities.
Dining & Entertainment
Residents have access to a members-only restaurant featuring a rotating chef program, where renowned establishments curate menus on a periodic basis, so you get variety without leaving the building.
There’s also a cafe lounge for more casual dining and working, a bar lounge staffed by Imperial Hotel personnel, and a theater room for private screenings.
Work & Business
The development includes dedicated workspaces for residents who need a professional environment outside their unit, along with meeting facilities and business lounges.
This is particularly relevant for the studio units that are approved for SOHO use.
Hospitality Services
The Imperial Hotel partnership is central to the Mita Garden Hills experience and provides hotel-level service that you won’t find at most residential buildings in Tokyo. Services include concierge, valet, butler, porter, and doorman services, all delivered by staff trained to Imperial Hotel standards.
There are also three guest rooms available for residents hosting visitors who need overnight accommodations.
Gardens & Outdoor Space
The 7,700 sqm of landscaped gardens feature approximately 130 plant species, including preserved existing trees from the original site, and the central courtyard is exclusively for resident use.
The garden design creates an urban forest feel that provides a buffer from the surrounding city, and the buildings are positioned to maintain privacy while still feeling connected through the shared green space.
Security & Parking
All parking at Mita Garden Hills is underground, keeping vehicles out of sight and maintaining the aesthetic of the landscaped grounds. The development includes 24-hour security, and the gated community design restricts access to residents and their guests.
Additional facilities include bicycle parking and motorcycle parking.
Additional Conveniences
The complex includes a mini-mart (convenience store) on site for everyday essentials, reception rooms for private events, and a community garden.
The ZEH-Oriented certification means the development incorporates solar panels and fuel-cell power generation, providing backup power in emergencies and reducing overall energy costs.
Neighborhood Advantages
Mita Garden Hills sits in Mita 1-chome, which occupies a quieter pocket of Minato-ku that balances residential calm with proximity to Tokyo’s major commercial and entertainment districts.
The neighborhood has historically attracted diplomats, executives, and wealthy Japanese families, and that character has remained consistent over the decades.
Shopping & Daily Essentials
Azabu-Juban Shopping Street is within walking distance and offers a mix of traditional Japanese shops, restaurants, cafes, and everyday services, making it easy to run daily errands on foot.
For groceries, you have access to international supermarkets, including National Azabu (popular with the expat community for imported goods) and standard Japanese supermarkets in the area. Roppongi Hills is also walkable and offers access to higher-end retail, restaurants, and entertainment, while the recently completed Azabudai Hills adds another layer of luxury shopping and dining within reach.
Parks & Green Space
Shiba Park is one of the closest major green spaces and offers walking paths, open lawns, and views of Tokyo Tower. The park is popular with joggers and families, and provides a convenient escape from the density of central Tokyo without requiring a long commute.
The Tsunamachi Mitsui Club grounds sit directly adjacent to Mita Garden Hills and contribute to the green, estate-like feel of the immediate surroundings, even though the club itself is private.
International Community & Schools
The area has a strong international presence, with several embassies nearby, including the Australian and Italian Embassies.
For families with children, several international schools are accessible from this location, and the neighborhood’s established reputation among diplomats and foreign executives means services catering to non-Japanese residents are readily available.
Dining & Entertainment
The Azabu-Juban and Roppongi areas offer one of the highest concentrations of quality restaurants in Tokyo, ranging from casual izakayas to Michelin-starred establishments.
The proximity to Roppongi Hills and Azabudai Hills means residents have access to curated dining options, bars, and cultural facilities like the Mori Art Museum without needing to travel far.
Medical Facilities
Minato-ku has a strong medical infrastructure, with several hospitals and clinics offering services in English or experience with international patients.
This is an important consideration for foreign residents and families who want accessible healthcare without language barriers.
Landmarks & Cultural Attractions
Tokyo Tower is within walking distance and serves as both a navigational landmark and a destination for visitors.
The surrounding Shiba area includes Zojoji Temple, one of Tokyo’s most significant Buddhist temples, which adds historical and cultural depth to the neighborhood beyond its residential appeal.
Target Residents
Mita Garden Hills attracts a specific demographic of buyers and renters who prioritize space, privacy, and service quality over flashier addresses like Roppongi Hills or the newer Azabudai Hills.
Owner-Occupiers & Second-Home Buyers
The developers confirmed that owner-occupiers and second-home buyers account for approximately 80% of purchasers so far, which distinguishes Mita Garden Hills from some other luxury developments where investor buyers dominate.
This mix suggests the building will have a higher proportion of actual residents rather than empty units held for investment purposes, which tends to create a stronger sense of community and better-maintained common areas over time.
Executives & High-Net-Worth Professionals
The combination of Imperial Hotel concierge services, extensive wellness facilities, and proximity to central business districts makes Mita Garden Hills attractive to C-level executives and senior professionals who want hotel-level service without the transient feel of a serviced apartment.
The SOHO-approved studio units also appeal to business owners and entrepreneurs who want to combine living and working in a prestigious address.
Diplomats & Embassy Staff
The neighborhood’s established diplomatic community (with the Australian and Italian embassies nearby) means Mita Garden Hills fits naturally into the residential patterns of foreign government personnel.
The security infrastructure, gated community design, and proximity to other embassy residences make it a logical choice for diplomatic families who need both privacy and accessibility.
International Families
Families relocating to Tokyo from overseas are drawn to the combination of space (rare in central Tokyo), access to international schools, and the English-friendly services offered through the Imperial Hotel partnership.
The variety of unit sizes from 2LDK to 4LDK means families can find configurations that accommodate children, home offices, and guest accommodations without compromising on location.
Foreign Investors
While owner-occupiers dominate the buyer pool, Mita Garden Hills has attracted interest from foreign investors, particularly from Greater China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.
The weak yen has made Tokyo luxury real estate more attractive to buyers holding stronger currencies, and the “Garden Hills” brand recognition (established by Hiroo Garden Hills) provides a level of prestige and resale confidence that appeals to investors focused on long-term value preservation rather than rental yield.
Conclusion
Mita Garden Hills represents a rare opportunity in Tokyo’s luxury residential market. The combination of scale (25,000 sqm site with 1,002 units), pedigree (the first Mitsui-Mitsubishi “Garden Hills” collaboration in 38 years), and amenity depth (Imperial Hotel partnership, swimming pool, rotating-chef restaurant, 7,700 sqm of gardens) puts it in a category that few other developments can match.
The pricing reflects that positioning. Entry-level units start around ¥150 million and climb to ¥5.5 billion for the top penthouses, which means Mita Garden Hills competes directly with developments like Aman Residences Tokyo and Azabudai Hills for the ultra-luxury buyer. But unlike those developments, Mita Garden Hills offers a quieter, more residential feel, prioritizing space and privacy over architectural spectacle.
