■ Bancho/Kojimchi area property listings

Bancho area originally took shape during the days of the shoguns, as a samurai residential quarter. From the Meiji period (1868–1912) onward, it became the abode of high government officials, firmly establishing its historic pedigree and luxurious cachet. Situated opposite the Imperial Palace, Bancho is close by Chidorigafuchi Park and Kitanomaru Park, where cherry blossoms burst forth in brilliant profusion each spring. Numerous embassies plant their flags here as well, joined by churches and mission schools, imparting a distinctly international cast. The plethora of schools strewn about the district make it a seat of education as well.

Bancho sits at the center of a rich network of transportation access points, the closest being Yotsuya Station, Ichigaya Station, Hanzomon Station and Kojimachi Station. You couldn’t ask for better access to the government districts of Kasumigaseki and Nagatacho, the business nerve centers of Marunouchi and Otemachi and shopping magnets such as Shinjuku and Ginza.

In this alluring area, the Mitsui Fudosan Group offers an impressive list of condominium developments, such as Park Court Chiyoda Yonbancho and Park Court Chiyoda Ichibancho.

Kudan-minami area, next door to Bancho, is home to some of Japan’s signature luxury condominium complexes, among them Park Mansion Chidorigafuchi and The Parkhouse Gran Chodiorigafuchi. Here to enjoy is a consummate balance of shopping and natural beauty, from convenient supermarkets to refreshing public parks.
