Mitaka Furnished Apartments & Share Houses

Mitaka sits one stop west of Kichijoji on the JR Chuo line and is best known for the Ghibli Museum, located in the south side of Inokashira Park. Mitaka is technically a separate city within Tokyo Metropolis (not one of the 23 wards), but it functions as a quieter, more affordable extension of the Kichijoji area. The town centre has a friendly residential feel with supermarkets, parks, and family-oriented amenities, while still being just 18 minutes from Shinjuku on the JR Chuo Rapid line. Modern Living Tokyo offers furnished apartments and share houses in Mitaka and the surrounding area.
