You may be wondering about serviced apartments, which you often hear about these days!
Have you ever heard of “Serviced Apartments”? While they are widely known overseas as a place to stay for mid- to long-term business trips or as temporary housing, serviced apartments are still not well-known in Japan. Today, we would like to introduce you to serviced apartments.
What is a serviced apartment?
A serviced apartment is a fully furnished and serviced apartment that combines the features of a hotel with those of a rental apartment. The contract period of a rental apartment is generally fixed at two years, and a contract for utilities is required, making it difficult for foreigners, especially those who do not speak Japanese, to use serviced apartments, However, serviced apartments are available for stays as short as one month, and are fully furnished with a kitchen and laundry facilities, as well as furniture, appliances, tableware, cooking utensils, linens, and towels, making it possible to start living in a serviced apartment from the day you move in. Unlike weekly apartments, serviced apartments offer regular cleaning and front desk service.
Main Features of Serviced Apartments
However, unlike hotels, serviced apartments are leased and require an inspection and a security deposit.
Hotel or Serviced Apartment? Serviced Apartment?
The majority of people who use serviced apartments in Japan are mid- to long-term stay businessmen from overseas. For clients coming to Japan for short-term projects or overseas assignments, hotels are cramped and lack kitchens and washing machines. On the other hand, renting an apartment is too much of a hurdle, especially for foreigners who cannot speak Japanese, due to issues such as contract length and utilities.
Serviced apartments are similar in size to a standard apartment for the same cost as a hotel, with the same cleaning and services.
