Serviced Apartments Shinjuku: Long-Stay Options Near the Station

Staying in Tokyo for a week or longer changes the calculation: serviced apartments Shinjuku options are worth a serious look when you factor in the kitchen, the washing machine, and the extra floor space that a standard hotel room simply cannot match. The five properties in this guide were all confirmed operating in 2025–2026. Nightly rates drop on weekly and monthly bookings, and every option sits within reach of JR Shinjuku Station or a nearby subway line. Rates vary by season and room type.

Best Serviced Apartments in Shinjuku at a Glance

All five properties below were confirmed open in 2025–2026. Rates vary by season and length of stay.

When an Apartment Beats a Hotel: Kitchens, Laundry, Space

A standard Shinjuku hotel room runs 16–22 m² with a bathroom and a desk. A serviced apartment in the same district gives you a kitchen or kitchenette, a washing machine or coin laundry on-site, and often a separate sleeping and living area — at a nightly rate that can actually undercut a comparable hotel once weekly or monthly discounts apply.

The math shifts in your favor when:

• You're staying seven or more nights and restaurant costs add up quickly.
• You're traveling with children or a group and need more than one sleeping area.
• You're on a relocation or project assignment and need a month-to-month option without a long-term lease commitment.
• Luggage space matters — serviced apartments typically have larger in-room storage or dedicated closets compared with a business hotel.

The trade-offs are real too. Expect less daily housekeeping (most properties clean weekly or on request), no hotel restaurant on the ground floor, and minimum-stay requirements at some price points. The nightly rate for a one-night booking is often higher than a regular hotel in the same area — the value kicks in from night three or four onward.

Studio and One-Bedroom Picks Near the Station

Citadines Shinjuku Tokyo is the standout choice for a mix of location, amenities, and genuine long-stay infrastructure. The building sits at a 5-min walk from Shinjuku Gyoenmae Station (Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, Exit 1) and a 7-min walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station (Tokyo Metro Marunouchi and Fukutoshin lines). The 160 rooms divide between studios and one-bedroom apartments, all including a kitchen or kitchenette, flat-screen TV, and work desk. Building amenities include a gymnasium, residents' lounge, and coin laundry. The front desk is staffed 24 hours and is bilingual. Extended stays of 30 or more nights qualify for dedicated pricing — it is listed as a standard booking category rather than a special request. Rates start from ¥10,000 per night, varying with season and room type. Check rates.

Citadines Central Shinjuku Tokyo sits further east, in the Kabukicho area close to Shinjuku Station and Shinjuku-sanchome Station. It is a practical option if you want straightforward access to the station and the east-side dining and shopping along Shinjuku-dori. The building includes coin laundry, foreign-currency exchange, and a bilingual 24-hour front desk. It works well for both short and extended stays. Check rates.

Oakwood Apartments Nishi-Shinjuku Tokyo occupies the west side of the station and has a noticeably higher-grade finish than most serviced apartments in this area. The building holds 40 studio and one-bedroom apartments. The West Exit of JR Shinjuku Station is a 7-min walk away; Shin-Okubo Station (JR Yamanote Line) is a 10-min walk in the other direction. Weekly housekeeping is included in the rate. With only 40 units, availability fills up quickly on short notice — if your dates are fixed, book early. The ground floor has a café (Merci with ViTO) serving sandwiches and gelato, which is useful for a quick breakfast without going far. Check rates.

Options That Take Weekly and Monthly Stays

Citadines Shinjuku Tokyo explicitly structures its pricing around 30-plus night stays, making it the most reliable choice if you are planning a month-long or relocation booking. The residents' lounge and gym make an extended stay more livable than a bare-bones corporate rental.

Fraser Place Shinjuku (also listed as Fraser Place howff Shinjuku on some platforms) is a large property in the Hyakunin-cho neighborhood, a short walk from Shin-Okubo. The building is a 3-min walk from JR Okubo Station and roughly a 15-min walk to the main Shinjuku Station concourse. For travelers who don't need the full Shinjuku station interchange every day — or who are based in the west-side office district — this trade-off often makes sense in terms of both price and quiet. With 384 rooms across two towers, available dates are rarely sold out and the property handles weekly and monthly bookings as standard. Check rates.

If you have a specific minimum-stay requirement — 14 nights, 30 nights — confirm it at the time of booking rather than on arrival. Policies differ between booking platforms, and the discount tier sometimes needs to be applied manually at the property level.

Family-Sized Apartments for Groups

MIMARU Tokyo Shinjuku West is the clearest group option close to Shinjuku. The building is an 8-min walk from JR Shinjuku Station via the West Exit, or a 6-min walk from Tochomae Station (Exit 1, Toei Oedo Line). Every room comes with a full kitchen — induction hob, fridge, rice cooker, and cookware — and a dining table with enough seating to eat in properly. Units accommodate up to six guests. That means a group of four to six can split a room rate starting from around ¥35,000 and arrive at a per-person cost well below four to six separate hotel rooms. A coin laundromat is located in the building. The hotel opened in March 2020 and has maintained strong guest ratings through 2025–2026. Check rates.

Rates vary by season and by how many nights you book. The table below shows typical starting rates; actual costs will shift on weekdays versus weekends and with advance booking timing.

Practical Tips: Minimum Stays, Cleaning, Check-In Logistics

Minimum stays. All five properties above accept single-night bookings at standard rates, but the weekly and monthly discounts only activate at a length threshold — commonly 7 or 30 nights. Read the stay-length terms before confirming; some booking platforms do not display the discount automatically, and you may need to book directly or via a corporate-rate channel to access the longer-stay pricing.

Housekeeping. Daily housekeeping is not standard at serviced apartments. Citadines properties offer linen changes and room-cleaning on request at an additional charge. Oakwood includes weekly housekeeping in the listed rate. MIMARU provides towel exchanges and cleaning at a frequency that scales with stay length. Fraser Place includes weekly service for long-stay bookings. If a tidy room on arrival matters, confirm the cleaning schedule at the time of booking rather than assuming it matches a hotel.

Kitchens and grocery runs. A Family Mart, Lawson, or 7-Eleven is within a 1-min to 2-min walk of every property in this guide. Full-sized supermarkets — Summit, Peacock, or the food halls in Takashimaya Times Square — are within a 10-min walk of the Shinjuku Gyoen and west-side properties. For Fraser Place and the Hyakunin-cho area, Okubo-dori has Korean and international grocery shops alongside the convenience stores, which is useful for longer stays when variety matters.

Check-in timing. Standard check-in for Shinjuku serviced apartments is 15:00. Early check-in is available on request but cannot be guaranteed. If you arrive before noon, use the luggage storage at the building reception — all five properties here have it — or the coin-locker banks at JR Shinjuku Station's East or West exits. Late check-out requests are handled case by case; ask when you book, not on the morning you need to leave.

Internet and workspace. All properties in this guide include free Wi-Fi. Citadines Shinjuku has a residents' lounge that works as a secondary workspace. For work stays of a month or more, it is worth calling the property directly to confirm download speeds — in-room Wi-Fi quality in Tokyo can vary significantly by building age and infrastructure.
