Suginami Furnished Apartments & Share Houses

Suginami ward sits west of Nakano and is best known to anime fans as the location of many of Japan's most famous animation studios (Tatsunoko, Madhouse, and Studio Bones are all based here). The ward is anchored by the JR Chuo line, which runs through Koenji, Asagaya, Ogikubo, and Nishi-Ogikubo — each station with its own friendly residential character. Suginami is one of Tokyo's most affordable wards inside the central commuter belt, while still offering 10–15 minute commutes to Shinjuku.
