Tokyo, Japan — August 28, 2025Tokyo Portfolio announced today that it has become Japan’s most‑watched English‑language brand focused on real estate, combining a large global audience with a high‑performing listings portal for luxury rentals and purchases in Tokyo. The brand’s videos and guides help expats and international buyers navigate one of the world’s most complex housing markets in plain English.

By the numbers (August 2025):

  • 150,000+ combined subscribers across YouTube & Instagram (channel currently ~134K on YouTube).
  • 12,000,000+ lifetime video views across platforms (internal analytics; public site shows ~11M).
  • 200,000+ monthly pageviews on TokyoPortfolio.com, the leading English portal for high‑end Tokyo real estate (internal analytics).

Tokyo Portfolio’s spokesperson Alex Shapiro—featured as a real estate expert on HGTV’s House Hunters International—said the brand’s “media‑plus‑advisory” model is what makes relocations smoother:

“Tokyo can be daunting if you don’t speak the language or know the market. We pair data‑driven search with bilingual, on‑the‑ground negotiation to get clients into the right homes faster,” said Alex Shapiro, Co‑founder and Spokesperson, Tokyo Portfolio.

The brand’s authority has been recognized by The Japan Times, which profiled Shapiro and the channel’s role in showcasing Japan’s luxury homes, and by ABC (Australia) where he featured in a deep-dive segment exploring the Tokyo housing market. Tokyo Portfolio has also frequently been featured in Tokyo Weekender, namely through editorial pieces and bylines.

Serving expatriates, diplomatic missions, and multinational teams, Tokyo Portfolio offers discreet end‑to‑end support—from area briefings and curated viewings to offer strategy, lease/purchase negotiation, and move‑in coordination. The company’s content engine and market analyses keep clients current on pricing, inventory and timing in a rapidly shifting market.
