Spacious 3DK Wooden House in Shinjuku's Quiet Uwaochiai Neighborhood
This charming two-story wooden house, built in July 1973, offers a surprisingly spacious 45.16㎡ (approximately 13.66 tsubo) layout in the desirable Shinjuku ward. The property is currently vacant and available for immediate occupancy, presenting a rare opportunity to secure a standalone rental home in central Tokyo. The 3DK layout is well-suited for two occupants, and the property benefits from excellent sunlight, creating a bright and welcoming interior atmosphere.
The house is comprehensively equipped for comfortable living. Facilities include city gas, two toilets, a shower, a washbasin, a designated space for a washing machine, a system kitchen, a split-type air conditioning unit, shutters, a balcony, underfloor storage, and additional storage space. Special notes on the property's access detail that it fronts a 3-meter wide public road to the south, with a frontage of 5 meters, providing convenient and straightforward access.
Key financial terms include a monthly rent of 135,000 yen, a security deposit of one month's rent, and a key money (reikin) payment also equivalent to one month's rent. There are no monthly management or common service fees. The lease contract is for a standard two-year term, and a renewal fee equivalent to one month of the new rent will apply at the time of contract renewal. The property requires tenants to join the "Hato-san" guarantee company, with an associated cost of 67,500 yen, and to enroll in Japan's small-amount short-term insurance for 20,000 yen every two years.
The location in Uwaochiai 3-chome is highly convenient, with multiple train stations within a short walk. The Seibu Shinjuku Line's Nakai Station is just a 3-minute walk away, while the Toei Oedo Line's Nakai Station is a 4-minute walk. The Tokyo Metro Tozai Line's Ochiai Station is also accessible within a 9-minute walk, providing excellent connectivity across the city. The area is a quiet residential enclave within Shinjuku, known for its blend of traditional shops and modern convenience. A notable nearby landmark is the historic and serene Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a vast park featuring traditional Japanese, English landscape, and French formal gardens, offering a perfect escape from the urban bustle just a short train ride away.
