10 Recommended Apartments for Families in Tokyo
Are you looking for a place to live for your family in Tokyo?
Finding an apartment is not that easy, especially if you have a large family and want your living space to be comfortable and orderly. For the Tokyo area, it is quite difficult to find a large space because we all know that Tokyo is crowded and the spaces are small, especially in the popular areas.
And as a Non-Japanese, I know that finding an apartment is more challenging for us. There are many things we want to consider when looking for a place to live such as being as near as possible to the train stations and establishments. And we also want a large apartment with reasonable rental costs. These are some factors that we really want to tell the agents but sometimes we have a hard time explaining them properly.
It is good to know that there are agencies with staff who are fluent in another language besides Japanese. That handles and helps non-Japanese who are looking for a place to live here in Japan. In this article, I would like to share with you the 10 best apartments for families, most probably large apartments around Tokyo. I hope you find one that suits your needs.

Greetings to all mommies I am a supermom from Philippines. Previously, I worked and lived in Dubai for seven years, until 2015 the year I moved in Japan. Currently, I am happily settled here with my Japanese husband and our 7 months old baby. I could only describe my almost 6 years of living here as a roller coaster ride more so, after I gave birth to my son. Japan had changed me in ways unimaginable. It has influence my lifestyle, my perceptions and beliefs. I was able to witness firsthand the pros and cons of living in the country. From their language, culture and ethnicity, the people, place and in work. Those years were enough to give me quite personal and memorable experiences which I would be more than delighted to share with you.
