Apartments in Tokyo: The Core Question
For most travellers, an apartment in Tokyo means self-catering freedom: a kitchenette, a washing machine, and the privacy of your own space. The three places here each deliver that in a different way – the Shinjuku House with its own kitchenette and laundry, the Hostel Lund I with shared kitchen access, and the Oku Apartment with well-equipped rooms. Rates start around ¥2,710 and climb to ¥47,499, so there’s a spread, but the real difference is location and style.
Shibuya Apartments: Where to Stay and What It Costs
Shibuya is the classic crossing, the scramble, the fashion – and the apartments here put you right in the middle of it. While none of the current listings sit in Shibuya proper, the district’s energy is just a train ride away from most of these properties. For true Shibuya apartments, you’d typically pay a premium, but the closest stays here are in Shinjuku and Shinagawa, both with easy access to the Yamanote line that circles the city’s core.
Serviced Apartments in Shinjuku: What They Offer
A serviced apartment in Shinjuku means you’re in the heart of the action – think karaoke bars, department stores, and the neon of Kabukicho – with the convenience of hotel-like services like cleaning and a front desk. The Shinjuku House, just a 5-minute stroll from Yoroi Shrine, is the only one here that fits the bill, offering a kitchenette and washing machine for longer stays. Expect to pay more for this prime location, but you’re buying the city at your doorstep.
Service Apartments Near Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station is the city’s transport hub – the shinkansen, the Marunouchi business district, and the Imperial Palace are all nearby. If a service apartment near the station is your goal, you’re looking at a premium price for convenience. The properties on this page are further out, in Shinagawa and Shinjuku, so you’d trade that immediate access for a more local and often quieter experience.
Ginza Service Apartments: Upscale Living in the Heart of Tokyo
Ginza is Tokyo’s most refined neighbourhood – think luxury boutiques, art galleries, and high-end dining. A service apartment here would put you steps from the upscale shopping streets and the Kabuki-za theatre, but be prepared: it’s a premium location. The current listings don’t include Ginza, but the Oku Apartment offers a similar quiet, well-equipped base at a lower price, though you’ll be in a more residential area.

Frequently asked
Where should I stay in Tokyo for a first visit?
For a first visit, you want to be near the Yamanote line for easy access to all the sights. Shinjuku is the obvious choice – it's a hub with endless dining and nightlife, and places like Shinjuku House put you right in it. If you prefer a quieter base, Shinagawa is a great alternative with direct rail links to Haneda airport and central Tokyo.
What’s the average price for an apartment in Tokyo?
Apartment prices in Tokyo vary hugely depending on location and amenities. On this page, you can find budget stays from around ¥2,710 per night at the Oku Apartment, while more central and fully self-catering options like Shinjuku House cost ¥47,499. For a mid-range apartment expect to pay between ¥10,000 and ¥25,000 per night.
How do I get from Narita or Haneda airport to my apartment?
From Haneda, the Keikyu Line connects directly to Shinagawa in about 15 minutes, and from there you can transfer to the Yamanote line for Shinjuku. From Narita, the Narita Express takes you to Tokyo Station, then change for Shinjuku or take the Skyliner to Nippori. Both airports have limousine buses that drop off at major hotels in Shinjuku, which can be handy if you're staying near there.
Which Tokyo neighbourhood is best for nightlife?
Shinjuku is the undisputed king of nightlife, with everything from golden gai's tiny bars to the entertainment district of Kabukicho. If you stay at Shinjuku House, you're just a short walk from the action. Shibuya is another great choice for its many bars and clubs, and it's just a few stops away on the Yamanote line.
Are Tokyo apartments walkable?
Yes, most of these apartments are in pedestrian-friendly areas. Shinjuku House is a 5-minute walk from Yoroi Shrine, and the Hostel Lund I is a short walk from the Curian concert hall. You'll find train stations, convenience stores, and restaurants within a 10-minute stroll from most properties.
Apartments in Tokyo: Self-Catering Stays Across the City
Tokyo’s apartment scene is small but distinct: choose a self-catering suite in Shinjuku with a kitchenette and washing machine, a budget-friendly stay in Shinagawa with kitchen access, or a quiet, well-equipped room near train links. Each offers a different slice of the city, from the neon buzz of Shinjuku to the practical calm of residential neighbourhoods.
These aren’t anonymous blocks of holiday lets. They’re places designed for longer stays and everyday life – where you can buy groceries, cook a meal, and live like a local. Prices vary widely, from the modest Oku Apartment to the more premium Shinjuku House, so what you sacrifice in central location, you often gain in space and amenities.
The bottom line
Apartments in Tokyo suit travellers who want more space, privacy, and the freedom to cook their own meals – they're a great pick for longer stays or for families who need laundry facilities. If your priority is a hotel-style stay with daily housekeeping and a full front desk, you're better off with the Hotels in Tokyo page. For the tightest budgets, the Cheap and budget hotels in Tokyo page rounds up affordable stays, and if you need specific amenities like a pool or parking, the dedicated hotel pages like 4 star hotels in Tokyo or Hotels with parking in Tokyo will narrow it down faster.
