When staying in Tokyo for several weeks to several months

For long-term stays, not only hotel prices are important, but also laundry, work, meals, and communication.

This page not only provides general information, but also organizes the order and points to check when actually preparing. For people coming to Japan from overseas, it is important to proceed with plenty of time, as each procedure can take time due to differences in language and systems.

Compare accommodation options

Compare hotels, serviced apartments, etc.

Conditions vary depending on the person and company. The most efficient way to proceed is to organize your purpose, timing, budget, and necessary language support, and then check only the parts you don't understand with a specialist.

View self-catering environment

The longer you stay, the more important it is to have a kitchen.

See terms and conditions

Check cleaning, utility costs, and extension terms.

If you compare only based on price, you may find out later that there are additional costs and differences in terms and conditions. It's a good idea to separate what is one-time costs and what is monthly/yearly costs and have them confirmed in writing.

Don't schedule too much

While transportation is convenient when staying in Japan, it can sometimes take longer than planned due to things like navigating through train stations, crowds, and weather. Leaving free time will make it easier to deal with sudden changes or illness. Especially when visiting a region for the first time, limiting the number of places you visit in one day will give you more time to enjoy the area.

One source of information during your stay

It's a good idea to organize your accommodation, transportation, reservation number, insurance, emergency contacts, etc. without relying solely on your smartphone. Sharing this information with your family and companions and deciding who should check what in case of a problem will speed up your response.
