The Residence Shirokane Suite is a ten-storey reinforced concrete building of 152 residences at 6-16-6 Shirokane in Minato Ward, completed in January 2008 and built by Taisei Corporation. This seventh-floor residence is a south-west facing 1SLDK of 68.65 sq m on the wall-centre measurement, arranged as a living dining kitchen of 17.7 mats and a western-style room of 7.4 mats, with a balcony of 12.40 sq m and a trunk room.
The building is run as a serviced residence with shared facilities well beyond the usual: a reception lobby, a library lounge with fitted bookshelves, a bar lounge and a screening room, staffed by a resident caretaker under a fully outsourced management contract. That level of provision is reflected in the monthly charges, which are high relative to the size of the residence — the management fee is recorded as JPY 165,840 a month against a repair reserve contribution of JPY 46,455.
Those figures are stated identically in both source documents and are reproduced here as recorded, but they are materially higher than the norm for a residence of this size, and what they cover — the staffed facilities, any services included, and whether any part is a temporary or building-wide charge — should be confirmed in writing before proceeding. The residence is vacant and available for immediate handover.

Floor area is the wall-centre figure from the listing material and remains subject to verification against the register. The management fee shown is the figure recorded in both source documents; it is high relative to the size of the residence and its composition remains subject to confirmation. No parking space is currently available in the building.
Monthly charges are the management fee of JPY 165,840 and the repair reserve contribution of JPY 46,455 exactly as stated in both source documents.
These charges are high relative to a residence of 68.65 sq m. The building is run as a serviced residence with staffed shared facilities, which explains part of it, but the composition of the management fee — what it covers, and whether any portion is temporary — should be confirmed in writing before proceeding, and can be requested on enquiry.
No parking space is currently available in the building.
The building stands at 6-16-6 Shirokane in Minato Ward, in the residential streets between Shirokanedai and Hiroo. The listing material records Shirokanedai Station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line at approximately eleven minutes on foot and Hiroo on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line at fourteen.
The Namboku Line runs through Azabu-juban, Roppongi-itchome and Iidabashi and connects at Meguro to the Mita, Yamanote and Meguro lines; the Hibiya Line runs through Roppongi, Kasumigaseki and Ginza. Journey times vary with the service and any changes, so none are stated here.
Shirokane is one of central Tokyo's established residential districts — low-rise, tree-lined and quiet — with the Institute for Nature Study, the Happo-en gardens and the shops of Hiroo and Shirokanedai close by.

In the At Home – Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Research Institute Mansion Rent Index for Q1 2026, the family-type index for Tokyo’s 23 wards — units of 60 to under 100 sq m, the band this 68.65 sq m residence falls into — rose approximately 12.3% year on year.
In the Reiwa 8 (2026) Official Land Price Survey, residential land in Minato Ward rose 16.6% on the previous year, and the all-use average for the ward rose 15.0%. 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, Minato Ward and Tokyo as a whole, not this individual property. The rent index covers quality-adjusted contracted rents for condominium-type buildings, not this address; the land figure is an average across all official reference points 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.

A vacant Minato Ward residence of 68.65 sq m with immediate handover, under JPY 100 million, in Shirokane. On the purchase price alone this is the most accessible Minato listing on this site, and the building is a proper one — built by Taisei, 152 residences, a resident caretaker, and shared spaces that belong in a hotel rather than an apartment block: a reception lobby, a library, a bar lounge, a screening room.
The monthly charges are the whole question here, and I would rather put them in front of you than bury them. The records state a management fee of JPY 165,840 a month plus a repair reserve of JPY 46,455 — around JPY 212,000 a month in total on a 68.65 sq m home. That is several times what a residence of this size normally carries. A staffed building with this much shared space genuinely does cost more to run, but the figure is high even by that standard, and both source documents record it identically rather than one being a typing error.
So the arithmetic that matters is not the price — it is the price plus twenty-odd years of those charges. Before anything else I would ask the listing partner, in writing, for the management association's budget and the breakdown of that fee: what services are included, whether any part is temporary, and what the long-term repair plan schedules next. If the answer is satisfactory, a vacant Shirokane residence at this price is genuinely interesting. If it is not, that is the deal. Minato Ward recorded a 16.6% rise in residential land prices this year.
