Our primary office is located in central Tokyo, very close to both the Yurakacho line (Kojimachi station) and the Hanzomon line (Hanzomon station).

You can rent any of our apartments either furnished or unfurnished. Many of our apartments come with some furnishing already included in the monthly rent. In addition, we can furnish your apartment with a television, washing machine, bed/mattress, curtains, microwave oven/toaster, dining table and chairs for a small additional monthly charge.

Many of our apartments have internet connections already setup and included in the monthly rent. All apartments have some provision for internet connection. Some buildings are equipped with fiber optic/broad band capability, while other buildings utilize ADSL.

Many of our apartments are available with the utility costs included in the monthly rent. Please check the individual apartment listing on this website. For those apartments that don't include utilities, the costs are the responsibility of the tenant.
