Kohoku Ward Rent Prices in Yokohama 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At a median ¥3600/m², you’re paying a premium for proximity to Tokyo and the BOUGIE reputation of the northern suburbs. These m² stats reflect a market that hasn't cooled down, especially with the newer Sotetsu-Tokyu Link pushing values up in Tsunashima. If your investment outlook requires stability, this area is a lock, but don't expect to find a bargain within a ten-minute walk of any major station.
The Vibe:This is the commuter's battleground where the Tokyu Toyoko Line dictates your daily schedule and social standing. It’s a landscape of steep hills, Keio University students flooding Hiyoshi, and business suits rushing toward the Shinkansen at Shin-Yokohama. Expect a relentless pace during rush hour and a noticeable absence of cheap, gritty housing options.
The median rent price in Kohoku Ward, Yokohama is ¥3,600 per m² per month, 12% below the Yokohama city average of ¥4100/m². Based on 2 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Why are Hiyoshi rents so consistently high?
You’re paying for a 15-minute straight shot to Shibuya and the prestige of the Keio campus presence.
Is Shin-Yokohama a good place to actually live?
Only if you travel for work constantly; otherwise, the corporate atmosphere feels clinical and lacks a soul after 8 PM.
What’s the parking situation in Kikuna?
It is a nightmare of narrow, winding roads where monthly spots can cost as much as a studio apartment in the countryside.
How has the Shin-Tsunashima station affected the neighborhood analysis?
It has triggered a massive redevelopment surge, sending local m² stats through the roof and erasing the area's old onsen-town grit.
Where can I find the lower end of the ¥2400/m² range?
Look toward the borders of Tsurumi Ward or any property that requires a bus ride to reach the Green Line.
