Ikebukuro Furnished Apartments & Share Houses

Ikebukuro is Tokyo's third-largest commercial district after Shinjuku and Shibuya, located in Toshima ward in the north-west of central Tokyo. It serves as a major terminus for the JR Yamanote, two Tokyo Metro lines, and the Seibu and Tobu commuter networks — making it one of the best-connected neighborhoods for anyone working both inside Tokyo and in the greater Tokyo suburbs. The east side is dominated by Sunshine City, department stores, and the famous "Otome Road" for anime and manga fans, while the west side has a more student-friendly atmosphere thanks to nearby Rikkyo University. Modern Living Tokyo offers fully furnished apartments and share houses across the Ikebukuro / Toshima area, with no key money and no guarantor.
