I lived in Tokyo for 2.5 months in a furnished 2br apartment ~7 min walk from 3 different subway stations (2 stations away from Shinjuku) for $1,500/month. The company renting the apartment caters to non-Japanese-speaking tourists and they handled all the paperwork. Visiting from the US for less than 3 months is hassle free. My experience was wonderful. I've now visited 6 times in my life and am eager to return. The streets of Tokyo (and other cities) always feel cozy to me - my favorite destination.
- QandThanks 5y agoCan you mention what company you used? I'd like to do similar, the airbnb's i've seen with such a location were always too pricey. Also, I clicked your profile and saw the video hub. Just wanted to say thanks as I have been looking for something like that for quite a while.
- yboris 5y agoFontana - https://www.tokyocityapartments.net/ https://www.tokyocityapartments.net/ I have not used other companies and I used Fontana just once, but it was a great experience. On the paperwork front - there was gas, electric, and water that I had to pay (you take the bill and pay at any convenience store - very easy) - the company can help if you have questions. They can also help close the three accounts when you are finished with the apartment. The apartment came with free WiFi. Minimum stay was 2 months (policy likely still in place).
