Japan Rent Market — 3-Site Cross-Shop Comparison (SUUMO + at home + LIFULL HOME'S)
Compare Tokyo 23-ward rental prices across Japan's top 3 property portals in a single dataset.
Scrapes rental listings from SUUMO (スーモ) — Japan's #1 property portal — at home (アットホーム) — the #2 portal — and LIFULL HOME'S (ホームズ) — the #3 portal. Each item is tagged with its source so you can compare rent for the same station/layout across portals.
Why this is useful
- Cross-portal price comparison — the same 1DK near Shibuya station often differs by 5-20% between portals
- Market research — track Tokyo rent trends by ward over time
- Relocation planning — find the best-priced listing before moving to Japan
- Investment analysis — identify underpriced/overpriced areas
