Located in a popular rental area with exceptional transport links, demand for rental properties like this remains strong.
Residents will appreciate the unbeatable access to major transportation hubs. The property is just a 5-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Line’s Arai Yakushi-mae Station, and only a 12-minute walk to the major hub of Nakano Station, served by the JR Chuo/Sobu Line and the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line.

By car, you can reach areas like Shinjuku (approx. 15-20 mins drive), Shibuya (approx. 25-35 mins drive), Harajuku (approx. 20-30 mins drive), and even central areas like Tokyo Station (approx. 30-40 mins drive) and Tokyo Tower (approx. 30-40 mins drive) typically within a 45-minute drive, depending on traffic. Closer to home, the famous Nakano Broadway, a unique shopping and cultural complex, is within walking distance of Nakano Station.
