Tokyo is a huge metropolis. Most people live in apartments or small houses. But where do the super rich live ? What's Tokyo's equivalent of Beverly Hills or Upper East Side, where celebrities or big company owners have their villas ?
According to a ranking I found on a Japanese site, the up cust resides in these neighbourhoods :
Setagaya Ward
- Shōtō
- Seijō
- Tsurumaki
Ōta Ward
- Denenchōfu
- Todoroki
Meguro Ward
- Aobadai
Minato Ward
- Shirokanedai
- Higashi Gotanda
- Minami Aoyama
- Minami Azabu
Bunkyō Ward
- Kohinata
Many rich Tokyoites have a second residence in the mountain resort of Karuizawa.
The municipality with the highest average income in Japan is Ashiya (芦屋) between Kobe and Osaka.

I wonder what Japanese villas look like. Is there any Californian style villas with swimming pool and tennis court in those rich neighbourhoods ? Anything fancy looking like European castles ?
