A serviced apartment is a fully furnished, self-contained apartment let for a month or more, with utilities, internet and appliances already connected. You get a kitchen, a washing machine and your own front door — the things a hotel room does not have — without the deposit, key money, agency fee and guarantor company that a standard Japanese lease demands.
In Tokyo they are used by people relocating for work, by companies housing staff on assignment, by researchers and students on a semester, and by anyone who needs somewhere real to live before they can sign a two-year contract. Compared with a monthly mansion, a serviced apartment is generally larger and better equipped; compared with a hotel, it costs less over a month and gives you somewhere to cook and work.
Every apartment on this site is owned and operated by unito and priced by the night. Most are let on a fixed-term lease rather than as hotel accommodation; a few are licensed short-stay accommodation, which take shorter bookings and need no lease. Each apartment page says which it is.
Thirty nights in Tokyo, the same city, the same neighbourhoods. The difference is not only the money — it is whether you can cook, do laundry, and shut a door on your work.
Hotel figures are typical published nightly rates for a mid-range Tokyo business hotel over the same period. Our figures are the totals this site quotes for your dates, discount included.
01
The calendar only offers nights we can actually sell, and prices them as you select. You see the total, the discount and the cancellation terms before you enter a single detail.
02
We authorise your card and hold the apartment immediately — nobody has to call you back to check. On a leased home you have not been charged yet. Signing the lease is what confirms the stay.
03
Most of these homes are let on a fixed-term lease, so our team prepares one and signing it confirms your move-in. Our licensed short-stay apartments skip this step — they are confirmed the moment you pay.
Most places renting a Tokyo apartment to a foreigner will not tell you the cancellation terms until you ask. Every apartment here states them, in full, before you book.
Every apartment states the date up to which cancelling is free, and the percentages that apply after it. Both are shown before you book, and both are generated from the rule we actually apply — not marketing copy written separately from it.
Plans change: a visa is delayed, a posting moves, a project ends early. Cancelling is a reply to your confirmation email, not a negotiation. A two-year Japanese lease normally charges you for leaving early.
Longer stays can be split — a deposit now and the balance nearer your move-in — and where that applies you see both amounts and the date the second is taken.
Where a one-off fee is not covered by the cancellation policy, it says so on the same line as its price — and it is excluded from the refund percentages rather than quietly reducing them.
On a leased home your card is reserved, not charged, until you have signed. If the lease cannot be concluded the reservation is released and you pay nothing. Licensed short-stay homes have no lease and are charged and confirmed at once.
Not a hotel and not a two-year contract — a real apartment you can take for a month, with the parts of Japanese renting that make no sense for a short stay taken out.
Bed, kitchen, washing machine and appliances are already there. Nothing to buy, nothing to dispose of when you leave.
Choose your dates and you see the whole figure — every night, the multi-night discount, the one-off fees and what is due today. Nothing is added at the end.
Every apartment shows its own cancellation dates and percentages before you book, and you can cancel — no forms, no negotiation. A Japanese lease normally binds you for two years with a penalty for leaving early.
Most homes are let from 30 nights, and our licensed short-stay apartments take shorter bookings. Extend or leave at the end of your term without the penalties a standard Japanese lease carries.
These are unito's own homes, not a marketplace listing. The same team manages the building, the cleaning and your move-in.
Most of our guests are here for a season, not a weekend.
Land, drop your bags and start on Monday. A fixed-term lease your employer can be invoiced for, without a guarantor company or a two-month deposit — the usual reason companies use serviced apartments for assignments of a few months.
Three months in Tokyo without signing a two-year lease, and without paying hotel rates for the privilege.
Live somewhere for a season before you commit to it. Move to the next one when your term ends.
Thirty nights for most of them, because they are sold on a fixed-term lease rather than as hotel accommodation. Some homes are licensed short-stay accommodation and take shorter bookings — each apartment page shows its own minimum.
Furniture, appliances, kitchenware, utilities and internet. There is no agency fee, no key money and no renewal fee.
No guarantor company is required. We do ask for identification, and guests without a Japanese residence card may be asked for a deposit before the lease is prepared.
For a stay of a month or more, usually yes. Hotels price by the night and rarely discount a long booking, while our rates are at least 10% below the same apartment on booking sites and fall further the longer you stay — and you get a kitchen and a washing machine, so you are not eating out every meal.
By the night. The total is the sum of the nightly rates for your dates, minus a multi-night discount that grows with the length of your stay. Each apartment page shows the rate for your dates. The move-out day is not charged.
A serviced apartment is a furnished home with hotel-style fittings and support — most of ours are let on a fixed-term lease, and some are licensed short-stay accommodation. A monthly mansion is typically smaller and more basic. Ours range from studios of about 22 square metres to two-bedroom apartments of 54, all with a kitchen and a washing machine.
Yes, subject to the apartment being free. Tell us before your term ends and we will prepare a new lease for the extension.
Yes. On our group booking page, agencies, companies and groups choose the apartments and dates, get one quote for all of them, held for five business days, and pay once by bank transfer or card. Many of our buildings have several apartments, so a team can stay in the same building. Each guest then registers their own details; for stays of 30 nights or more each guest signs the fixed-term lease and your organisation is named as the payer.
On a leased home we authorise your card when you book and hold the apartment immediately — you have not been charged yet. Licensed short-stay homes are charged then. Longer stays can be split into a deposit now and a balance nearer your move-in. Cancellation terms are shown on every apartment page before you book: full refund well ahead of your dates, reducing in steps as they approach.
No. On a leased home your card reservation holds the apartment, our team then prepares the fixed-term lease and sends it to you, and your move-in is confirmed once it is signed — if the lease cannot be concluded, the reservation is released and you pay nothing. Our licensed short-stay homes have no lease at all: paying confirms the stay. Each apartment page says which it is.
