Selecting Location

An area that is convenient for commuting if you are using it for work, or for accessibility if you are visiting for sightseeing.

It is also important to consider accessibility from the nearest station and the surrounding environment and facilities.

For example, even if the area is not near a station, it is a good idea to consider a location with easy access to buses and cabs.

Depending on the area, there may also be lush parks, commercial facilities, and restaurants nearby. By choosing a location that fits your lifestyle, you can make your stay in Tokyo more fulfilling.

Facilities・Services

When selecting a Serviced Apartment, it is important to confirm that the necessary facilities and services are provided.

For example, you should check whether the apartment is equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, Wi-Fi, cleaning service, etc., whether there are shared facilities and parking space, concierge and support services for foreigners who are not comfortable with Japanese (multi-lingual support).

If these facilities and services are well equipped, you will have a comfortable stay.

Budget

For long-term stays, the price is a key factor, and it is important to find a place where you can have a comfortable stay within your budget.

It is also important to check if utilities and internet fees are included.

If an all-inclusive plan is available, you can spend your time without worrying about additional costs.

Security

It is also important to check whether the building has adequate security.

It is also helpful to check for the presence of auto locks, security cameras, 24-hour security staff, emergency response system, and evacuation routes.

Review ・Reputation

By referring to the reviews and reputation of those who have actually stayed at the property, you can get an idea of the good and bad points about the property.

Serviced Apartment Features in Tokyo

There are various forms of housing for long-term stays in Tokyo, including serviced apartments, hotels, rental housing, and monthly apartments.

Here we will explain the features of serviced apartments in comparison to hotels, rental housing, and monthly apartments.

Differences from Hotels

Although Serviced Apartments and hotels have many similarities as accommodations, there are some differences as follows.

First, Serviced Apartments are equipped for long-term stays, with most rooms fully furnished and equipped with appliances, kitchens, washing machines, etc.

Hotels, on the other hand, are designed for short-term stays and do not necessarily have kitchens, washing machines, and other facilities.

Serviced Apartments are also attractive to long-term residents because they allow them to enjoy the privacy of a home away from home.

In hotels, privacy may be limited in some rooms.

And there are also differences in terms of price. Serviced Apartments are often discounted for longer stays and may be more cost-effective.

Hotels are generally priced for short-term stays and may be more expensive for long-term stays.

Differences from rental housing

Both Serviced Apartments and rental housing are suitable accommodations for long-term stays, but there are some differences.

Serviced Apartments are fully furnished and equipped with appliances and require no hassle when moving in.

In addition, hotel-like services such as cleaning and linen changes are provided to ensure a comfortable living environment.

On the other hand, in rental housing, you need to arrange, install, and clean mainly furniture and appliances by yourself.

Serviced apartments are also attractive because they meet a wide range of needs, from short-term to long-term stays, and offer flexibility in terms of contract length.

In the case of rental housing, the contract is usually for a minimum of two years, and a penalty fee may be incurred when the contract is terminated in the middle of the contract.

In terms of fees, Serviced Apartments are characterized by simple pricing, with many all-inclusive rate plans that include furniture, appliances, utilities, and Internet fees.

In addition to rent, rental apartments require initial expenses such as a deposit, key money, and broker’s commission, and utility and Internet fees must be paid separately.

Differences from Monthly Apartment

Serviced Apartments are characterized by being fully furnished and equipped with appliances and hotel-like services, such as cleaning, linen change, and concierge service.

Monthly apartments, on the other hand, are fully furnished and equipped with appliances, but often do not offer hotel-like services such as cleaning and linen changes.

Therefore, you will need to do your own cleaning and laundry.

In terms of price, Serviced Apartments often have all-inclusive rate plans that include furniture, appliances, utilities, and Internet access.

Monthly apartments are often inexpensive, but may require additional utility and Internet fees.

Disadvantages of staying in a serviced apartment in Tokyo

While Serviced Apartments have many advantages, they also have no small number of disadvantages.
