Comfortable and Convenient Studio Apartment in Shinjuku, Tokyo
This well-presented studio apartment in Shinjuku's Kitashinjuku 4-chome offers immediate occupancy with furniture included, making it a turnkey solution for city living. The property is part of the Komodo Square Kitashinjuku building, a 7-story structure with one basement level, built in January 1989. The apartment itself is located on the 2nd floor and enjoys a south-facing orientation, ensuring good natural light.
The unit features a wall-core exclusive area of 20.16 sqm (approximately 6.09 tsubo) and includes a 2.59 sqm balcony. Key equipment and features, as detailed in the agent notes, include air conditioning, an indoor washing machine space, lighting fixtures, a refrigerator, a bed, an auto-lock security system, security cameras, and a parcel delivery box. The building management is partially outsourced with a management association in place, and the property comes with defect insurance and a performance evaluation.
The location is exceptionally convenient for commuters, with three major train lines within walking distance: the JR Sobu-Chuo Local Line (Okubo Station, 9 minutes), the JR Yamanote Line (Shin-Okubo Station, 12 minutes), and the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line (Ochiai Station, 12 minutes). This provides direct access to major hubs like Shinjuku, Tokyo, and Ikebukuro. The monthly running costs consist of a 10,280 yen management fee and a 10,890 yen repair reserve fund. There is no parking available on-site.
The surrounding Shinjuku area is one of Tokyo's most vibrant wards, known for its skyscrapers, government offices, and bustling entertainment districts. An interesting fact is that Shinjuku Station is the world's busiest railway station, used by an average of over 3.5 million people daily. The closest major landmark is the iconic Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku, designed by Kenzo Tange, which offers free observation decks with stunning views of the city and, on clear days, Mount Fuji.
