Property management in Yokohama, on a flat per-unit fee.
Management across Yokohama Station, Minato Mirai, Kannai and Kohoku on a flat per-unit fee — not a rent-linked percentage. From whole-building renovation and rent re-branding to condo management, served from our Tokyo office (Minami-Aoyama).
Coverage
Main areas we cover in Yokohama

Yokohama is large — vary the leasing strategy by area
Lumping it together as "Yokohama" misses the point: with 18 wards and ~3.7M people, demand and the right leasing strategy differ sharply by area. NOCOS reads it ward by ward, line by line.
Yokohama Station / Minato Mirai: singles to DINKs, higher-grade demand — equipment grade and interior quality lift rent
Kannai / Bashamichi: compact, live-near-work demand — older but station-close still leases well
Kohoku New Town (Tsuzuki) / Aoba (Tama Plaza, Azamino): family demand for larger layouts — layout, storage and parking decide it
Tokyu Toyoko / Den-en-toshi lines (Hiyoshi, Tsunashima, Aoba): direct to central Tokyo — "chosen for location" even when older; renovation erases the penalty and the location's plus remains
The mix of age, location and demand decides whether to push rent up or prioritize turnover. With Yokohama property, misreading the area translates straight into vacancy.
Yokohama is not one market but a collection of markets. That's exactly why area-specific leasing design decides occupancy.
Rent & tenants
Yokohama's rent bands and tenant profiles
Rent varies sharply by area in Yokohama — even studios range from around ¥40k to ¥70k+/month (indicative). The highest is Naka-ku and Nishi-ku, home to Yokohama Station, Minato Mirai and Yamashita Park; the south and west are relatively more affordable.
Naka-ku / Nishi-ku (Yokohama Sta., Minato Mirai, Kannai): singles to DINKs and higher-grade demand — live-near-work, views and brand lift rent
Kohoku / Tsuzuki / Aoba (Shin-Yokohama, Kohoku New Town, Tama Plaza, Azamino): family demand for larger layouts — easy commute to central Tokyo on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi line, plus a green setting; layout, storage and parking decide it
Toyoko line (Hiyoshi, Tsunashima) / JR (Totsuka, Higashi-Totsuka, Tsurumi): deep real demand from direct access plus affordability — older stock still turns on location
Access: the Tokyu Toyoko and Den-en-toshi lines, JR lines and the city subway Blue Line cover the city — line and central-Tokyo access decide the tenant segment
Yokohama holds two axes at once — "a suburb for commuting to central Tokyo" and "the brand of central Yokohama." Which axis a property sits on changes the target tenant, the rent setting and the renovation direction.
* Rent varies widely by area, building age and station distance. We compute a fair rent per property with AI rent appraisal.
Why us here
Why NOCOS is strong in Yokohama
Yokohama is within the service area of INA&Associates' Tokyo office (Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku). Beyond on-site work and contractor coordination, we run leasing activity with local agents — all under one roof.
Track record in Yokohama: a 35-year-old, 12-unit RC building regenerated at once — ~1.6× market rent per tsubo, full occupancy within 2.5 months of launch (case)
Specialists in older whole-building regeneration: full strip-out + equipment replacement + major common-area repair + new auto-lock, designed as one package, with the rent re-branded
Relationship design with local agents: we deliberately build a "bring clients here and they'll sign" relationship — no listing lock-in, and 95–98% of signings come via other agencies
A track record of protected quality: zero owner-initiated cancellations in the seven years since launch; 99.1% occupancy (our own results)
Backed by licensing: MLIT Minister licenses for both real-estate brokerage and rental-housing management
Many older Yokohama buildings are still "chosen for location." The investment judgment to keep them and the leasing that moves local agents — holding both is NOCOS's strength.
Why NOCOS
Older buildings can be kept — through leasing and operating design
Around Yokohama's major private-railway hubs, many older buildings are still "chosen for their location." The key is whether systems, common areas and overall impression — which age together — can be reset at the same time. Rent erosion accelerates when all three age at once.
NOCOS charges a flat per-unit fee (Smart ¥0 / Standard ¥1,000 / Premium ¥2,000, ex-tax). Because it isn't rent-linked, freed-up budget can go into leasing power, renovation and operating quality. From regenerating an older whole building to flat-fee management of condos and apartments, we take any property type. (Smart's ¥0/mo applies in regions where lease-renewal fees are customary — which includes Greater Tokyo and Yokohama.)
"Patch it up" or "keep it for the next 30 years"? What NOCOS provides is that structural judgment together with the leasing and operation that follow.
How we work here
From the Tokyo office, close enough to move on Yokohama properties
Yokohama is within our service area from the Tokyo office (Minami-Aoyama), letting us handle on-site work, contractor coordination and leasing with local agents. We take everything from a single condo unit to a full whole-building renovation.
Leasing without listing lock-in: auto-synced to REINS; we design a "bring clients here and they'll sign" relationship with local agents, prioritizing the fastest signing
Older whole-building regeneration: design full strip-out + equipment replacement + common-area repair + new auto-lock as one package, and re-brand the rent
24/7 call center: first-line response to tenants' night and holiday issues
100% paperless: leases, repairs and finances managed in the cloud, so remote owners stay informed
At a 35-year-old RC building (12 units) in Yokohama, we carried out full strip-out + equipment replacement + major common-area repair + a new auto-lock all at once, landing ~1.6× the market rent per tsubo and reaching full occupancy of all 12 units within 2.5 months of launch.
FAQ
FAQ on property management in Yokohama
Which office handles properties in Yokohama?
Our Tokyo office (1-12-3 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo). Yokohama is within our service area, so on-site work, leasing with local agents and in-person consultations are workable. NOCOS operates from two offices (Tokyo and Osaka), serving the greater Tokyo area and the Kyoto–Osaka–Kobe region.
Can you handle regeneration of an older whole building in Yokohama?
It's a strength of ours. At a 35-year-old, 12-unit RC building in Yokohama we carried out full strip-out + equipment replacement + common-area repair + a new auto-lock all at once, landing ~1.6× market rent per tsubo and reaching full occupancy in 2.5 months. We lead the whole effort — investment judgment, contractor coordination, rent re-branding and leasing.
Can you manage a single condo unit or an apartment in Yokohama?
Yes — from a single unit, on a flat per-unit fee. On the Smart plan the fee is ¥0/unit per month. Condos, whole buildings, apartments and houses are all fine.
Is switching managers a hassle?
All you do is notify your current manager of cancellation. We provide a template and handle the entire handover. Zero setup cost, and the handover completes in about two weeks.
Which areas of Yokohama do you cover?
We serve all of Yokohama, focusing on Yokohama Station, Minato Mirai, Kannai, Kohoku New Town (Tsuzuki), Shin-Yokohama, Hiyoshi, Tsunashima, Totsuka, Aoba (Tama Plaza / Azamino) and Tsurumi. Because demand differs sharply by area, we design leasing strategy ward by ward and line by line.
Can an older Yokohama property still command above-market rent?
It can, depending on location. At a 35-year-old, 12-unit RC building in Yokohama, full strip-out + equipment replacement + common-area repair + a new auto-lock erased the age penalty, and the private-railway location premium let it land at ~1.6× the market per tsubo (¥6,000→¥9,600), reaching full occupancy in 2.5 months. We don't write off rent on age alone — we work back from location and investment merit.
Do you cover Kanagawa beyond Yokohama (e.g. Kawasaki)?
Yes. NOCOS serves the greater Tokyo area (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Gunma) and the Kyoto–Osaka–Kobe region. In Kanagawa we can also discuss areas beyond Yokohama, such as Kawasaki — all served from our Tokyo office (Minami-Aoyama).
