A Distinctive 2DK Apartment in Tokyo's Sugamo
This unique 2DK apartment, located on the 7th floor of a 9-story building in Nishisugamo, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, offers a personalized living space featuring a raised tatami area (小上がり), custom-made furniture, and a stylish counter. It provides a comfortable and private retreat in the heart of the city, perfect for unwinding after a busy day.
The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation in November 2025. This includes a complete overhaul of the water areas with a new kitchen, bathroom, toilet, vanity, and laundry waterproof pan. The interior has been fully refreshed with new flooring, wall coverings throughout all rooms, interior doors, and an entrance featuring custom-made shoe storage and new floor tiles. The living room and bedroom boast new flooring, wallpaper, fixtures, LED lighting, and custom-made storage and dining tables.
Equipment includes a shower-equipped vanity, a system kitchen with a counter and 2-burner stove, ample storage space with closets in all rooms, air conditioning for cooling and heating, and a 24-hour ventilation system. Special features of this corner unit include two-sided natural light and concrete exterior walls. The layout is versatile, allowing for different uses such as enjoying everyday meals in the living area and using the Japanese-style room for hot pot dishes.
The Nishisugamo area is a charming and historic part of Tokyo, known for its quieter residential streets while remaining well-connected. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Sugamo district is famously nicknamed "Harajuku for Grandmas" due to its popularity with older shoppers, particularly along Jizo-dori Street. The closest major landmark is the historic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, one of Tokyo's oldest and most significant Buddhist temples, easily accessible via the nearby Mita Line.
