Property Description

Lions Tower Ikebukuro is a 28-storey, 238-residence tower in Higashi-Ikebukuro, completed in January 2001 and built by Mitsui Construction. This residence occupies the top floor as a southeast-facing corner unit, and the listing material describes it as having good sunlight and open views — the photographs show a wide outlook across the city.

The plan is a 124.96 sq m 2LDK built around a 35.3-mat living, dining and kitchen space, with two bedrooms of 8.6 and 6.5 mats, a walk-in wardrobe, a pantry and an L-shaped balcony of 36.67 sq m. A full interior renovation was completed in July 2026.

The building runs a front concierge service and has a guest room and a view lounge on the 28th floor, together with double auto-lock entry, delivery boxes and a long-term repair plan. Ikebukuro is widely recognised among international residents for its transport, shopping and dining, and the station is about eleven minutes on foot. The residence is vacant with immediate handover, and detailed management rules and shared-facility terms are confirmed on enquiry.

Location, Transit & Everyday Convenience

The tower stands at 3-19-10 Higashi-Ikebukuro in Toshima Ward. The listing material records Ikebukuro Station on the JR Yamanote Line at approximately eleven minutes on foot, Higashi-Ikebukuro on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line at nine minutes, and Otsuka on the JR Yamanote Line at eleven minutes.

Ikebukuro is one of Tokyo’s principal interchanges, giving onward access on the Yamanote Line and several other lines toward Shinjuku, Shibuya and central Tokyo. Journey times vary with the service and any changes, so none are stated here. Department stores, restaurants and cultural facilities are concentrated around the station, and Sunshine City lies between the tower and Higashi-Ikebukuro.

Building & Shared Facilities

  • Front concierge service
  • Guest room and view lounge on the 28th floor
  • Double auto-lock entry and delivery boxes
  • Lift service and full-time daytime management by a contracted management company
  • Long-term repair plan in place

Shared facilities are subject to reservation procedures, usage fees, availability and building management rules. With 238 residences the building has the scale typically associated with a tower community, including a broad management structure; long-term maintenance outcomes will still depend on the repair plan, reserve fund, management quality and future ownership decisions.

Ikebukuro Rental, Land and Price Trends

Toshima Ward recorded one of the larger land-price increases in Tokyo this year, alongside rising rents and transaction prices across the city.

In the At Home – Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Research Institute Mansion Rent Index for Q1 2026, the all-type index for Tokyo’s 23 wards rose approximately 6.7% year on year. The index’s size bands stop at 100 sq m, so this 124.96 sq m residence sits above them and the all-type figure is used rather than a size-specific one.

In the Reiwa 8 (2026) Official Land Price Survey, residential land in Toshima Ward rose 12.9% on the previous year, and the all-use average for the ward rose 14.3%. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Real Estate Price Index puts condominium prices in Tokyo at 234.8 for December 2025 against a 2010 average of 100 — a rise of approximately 9.6% on the same month a year earlier.

These figures describe Tokyo’s 23 wards, Toshima Ward and Tokyo as a whole, not this individual property. The rent index covers quality-adjusted contracted rents for condominium-type buildings and its size bands do not extend to a residence of this size; the land figure is an average across all official reference points in the ward and is not an appraisal of this address; the price index is a nationwide statistical series for Tokyo. None of them guarantees future rent, value or performance.

Ken’s View

A top-floor corner residence in a tower is the kind of unit that rarely comes back to the market. This one is the 28th floor of 28, facing southeast on a corner, with a 124.96 sq m plan and an L-shaped balcony of nearly 37 sq m — unusually generous for central Tokyo, and the reason the living space reads as 35 mats rather than a conventional apartment layout.

The building supports that positioning. A front concierge service, a guest room and a view lounge on the top floor, double auto-lock entry and a long-term repair plan are the kind of provisions that keep a 2001 tower feeling current, and the full interior renovation completed in July 2026 means the residence itself is ready to occupy immediately.

Ikebukuro is one of Tokyo’s major hubs and is widely recognised among international residents for its transport, shopping and dining. At JPY 298,000,000 this is a large residence rather than a compact city apartment, and it suits a buyer who wants space, an outlook and a recognised address as a principal home or a long-term Tokyo base. Management rules, shared facility terms and renovation details can be confirmed on enquiry, and future property value and market performance cannot be guaranteed.
