Ueno Furnished Apartments & Share Houses

Ueno is one of Tokyo's most historically rich neighborhoods, located in Taito ward at the eastern edge of the JR Yamanote loop. The area is anchored by Ueno Park — home to the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Western Art, the Ueno Zoo, and one of Tokyo's most popular cherry-blossom spots. Just south of the park, the Ameyoko market street offers cheap food, fresh produce, and discount shopping in a lively old-school atmosphere. Ueno Station is a major JR hub with five lines plus the Ginza and Hibiya subways, putting Tokyo Station 5 minutes away and Akihabara just one stop. Modern Living Tokyo offers fully furnished apartments and share houses across Ueno and the wider Taito ward with no key money or guarantor.

Right now Modern Living Tokyo has 9 furnished rooms available in Ueno, from ¥67,000/month (average ¥125,000/month) — all with no key money and no guarantor.
