My daughter and family pay roughly $1500 monthly for a two bedroom 4th floor flat, nice but nothing special. It is about a 10 minute walk from Tokyo's equivalent of Times Square.
Try renting a broom closed for that in central Manhattan. Plus Tokyo is once of the nicest, safest big cities in the world. Especially compared to New York, even when Rudi Giuliani and Ed Koch were mayors.

Where? Tsukiji? I know Tokyo quite well and $1500 for a two bedroom is very good, but also very unusual.

I was there for a business trip some years ago and the hotel we stayed in that night was across the street from a train station. While waiting for my team I was looking down watching people going in and out of the train station when I was struck with the realization as I watched kids put their bikes on the racks outside that none of them were locking their bikes. Everyone just dropped their bike on the rack an went.
I was amazed to see that in a big city when I had a locked bike stolen from a closed, secured corporate campus.
