UenomachiRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
The median price of ¥1350/m² is a premium for Chichibu, reflecting the convenience of living near the transit hub. This area fits the THE_GRID classification perfectly—it’s functional, slightly generic, and lacks the historical grit of the old town center. Our neighborhood analysis suggests this is a stable, if unexciting, investment outlook for those who value predictable commutes.
The Vibe:Uenomachi is where Chichibu’s mountain identity takes a backseat to asphalt and pure utility. It is defined by its proximity to Seibu-Chichibu Station and the commercial hum of Route 299. Residents here prioritize a 5-minute walk to the Limited Express Laview over the quiet aesthetic of the upper hills.

Locals Ask
Is ¥1650/m² a fair price for Uenomachi?
Only if the building is less than 5 years old and includes a dedicated parking spot. Otherwise, you're getting fleeced for the station proximity.
How do the m² stats compare to the rest of Chichibu?
Uenomachi sits at the top of the local scale because it’s the only area where you don't absolutely need a car to survive.
What is the biggest downside of this neighborhood?
The noise from Route 299 and the constant stream of tourists heading toward Hitsujiyama Park during the pink moss season.
Does the investment outlook favor long-term holds?
With only one neighborhood-specific data point recently, liquidity is low, but the demand for station-side rentals remains the most consistent in the city.
Is parking included in the average rent?
Rarely. Budget an extra ¥5,000 to ¥8,000 monthly for a lot, as street parking is non-existent.
