Hirakawacho, Chiyoda - Renovated Corner Residence Facing the Imperial Palace, Mori Tower

Residence 1702 is a fully renovated two-bedroom corner apartment on the 17th floor of Hirakawacho Mori Tower Residence in Chiyoda, Tokyo, with 137.57 m² (about 1,481 sq ft) of interior space. What sets it apart is the outlook: both the living room and the master bedroom face the forest of the Imperial Palace, with the skyline of central Tokyo beyond. The tower is developed and managed by Mori Building, and Nagatacho Station, served by three subway lines, is a two-minute walk.

The interior was rebuilt in 2026 around a quiet palette of white oak veneer, matte stone-look tile and Mortex plaster. In the living and dining room, a wall of large-format Maristo tile faces the windows, a column and niche are finished in Mortex, and grey glass shelving sits in a steel frame. The kitchen is planned around a two-metre island in Caesarstone Calacatta, with a Miele induction hob, oven and dishwasher, a Liebherr refrigerator and a filtered-water tap. Dimmable Endo lighting, warm cove light and motorised curtains carry the rooms from morning to night.

The plan keeps living and sleeping apart. The living and dining room of about 46 m² runs along the corner glass. The master bedroom, about 28 m², has windows on two sides and its own walk-in closet; the second bedroom, about 16 m², has a walk-in closet as well. A dressing room with twin basins, a bath, two separate WCs with TOTO Neorest toilets, a utility room with a Miele washer and dryer, and a walk-in shoe closet complete the residence.

Morning light reaches the palace grounds before it reaches the towers beyond. In spring, the cherry trees of Chidorigafuchi bloom along the moat nearby.

The residence is vacant and ready to move into, with handover timing open to discussion. The seller provides a two-year warranty on the interior and equipment from handover, covering new and retained fittings alike, so the home works as well for a buyer based abroad as for one living in Tokyo. On the 24th floor, residents share a sky lounge, an open deck above the palace forest, a fitness room and a relaxation room, and residents may join the Mori Living member programme. Monthly fees are JPY 180,700 (management and repair reserve). Parking in the building is available from JPY 60,000 per month, subject to availability; pets are considered on request. The residence is for residential use only and cannot be used for short-term rental.

Hirakawacho sits between the Imperial Palace, the National Diet and Akasaka, with the Supreme Court and the National Theatre as neighbours. Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho and The Capitol Hotel Tokyu are a short walk away.

About 4 minutes by subway to Roppongi-itchome, 7 to Shibuya, 8 to Otemachi and 10 to Ginza; about 30 minutes by car to Haneda Airport.
