Table of Contents
For people staying in Tokyo for a week or longer, what matters most isn't "how spacious the room is," but rather "whether the living functions are complete."
The apt-2ldk room type features a rare "apartment-style" layout in Shinjuku Ward, making it ideal for business travelers, remote workers, and long-term stays.
4 Must-Know Tips for Extended Stays
01｜Washing Machine｜No need to bring large amounts of clothes
Standard hotel rooms do not have washing machines, so guests staying long-term should bring 7–14 sets of clothing. **apt-2ldk features a washing machine** plus an ironing board and iron, so **3–5 sets of clothing are sufficient for one month**.
Laundry detergent can be purchased at convenience stores near the hotel for ¥300–500.
02 | Kitchenette | Save ¥1,500 on meals daily
3 meals eating out costs approximately ¥3,500-5,000 per day, but **breakfast + 1-2 self-cooked meals** can reduce this to ¥2,000-3,000/day. You can save over ¥10,000 per week.
No gas stove, but equipped with a microwave and refrigerator. Perfect for reheating bento boxes and brewing your own coffee.
03｜Work Desk + Wi-Fi｜Remote Work Environment
Living room work desk + chair + Smart TV (projection-capable) + stable Wi-Fi. **Cross-timezone video conferencing** is no problem.
Asia cross-timezone meetings (Taiwan / Korea / Singapore) during the day, Europe and America meetings late at night, grab coffee at the 24-hour convenience store in Shin-Okubo.
04｜Location｜30 minutes by train to anywhere in Tokyo
Shin-Okubo Station is on the JR Yamanote Line, with **access to Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shibuya, and Ueno stations all within 30 minutes**.
From Shinjuku Station, you have access to multiple lines (Chuo Line, Marunouchi Line, Fukutoshin Line), making it convenient to reach Musashi-Kosugi and Mitaka.
**Long-term apartments at the same price point are rare in Shinjuku Ward**——apt-2ldk is cheaper than monthly service apartments and offers comparable amenities.
