Welcome to this installment in our series on “what can you rent for” in popular price ranges.
Nakano Ward
Tokyo’s Nakano Ward is found just west of Shinjuku Ward, offering residential neighborhoods with quick transportation into the city center of Shinjuku. Compared to downtown apartments, those in Nakano Ward tend to be in more residential neighborhoods where you can relax without feeling too cramped right in the middle of the busy city center. As such, this area can be a very appealing spot to start your Tokyo apartment hunt.
In today’s article, we’re going to take a look at apartments in the area around the ¥70,000/month price point.
Keep in mind that at the ¥70,000/month price point the majority of apartments will be in the 1R and 1K layout (for more info, check out our article on Japanese apartment layouts). This is a good starting range for those moving into their first apartment in Tokyo. The price of an apartment is dependent on a variety of factors, but in general, apartments in this range should provide a comfortable living environment for a single young professional.
