Toshima Furnished Apartments & Share Houses

Toshima ward occupies the northwest of central Tokyo and wraps around the busy hub of Ikebukuro, but most of the ward is surprisingly quiet and residential. Mejiro is one of Tokyo's most prestigious old residential areas, home to Gakushuin University. Sugamo — affectionately nicknamed 'Grandma's Harajuku' — preserves a charming retro shotengai atmosphere around its famous Jizo temple. Otsuka and Komagome offer easy Yamanote-line access with more affordable rents than the city's southern and western wards. Modern Living Tokyo offers fully furnished share houses and monthly apartments across Toshima ward, all within walking or one-stop distance of major transport hubs.
