Features and Services of Luxury Apartments in Tokyo & Yokohama

Living in Japan becomes more enhanced when your everyday needs are easily taken care of. Important services like concierge, housekeeping, laundry help, and good security are key parts of high-end apartments. These exclusive services work together to make expat life smooth and easy, so you can focus on your job and your new home in Japan.

Luxury apartments often offer an on-site 24-hour concierge service. A concierge is like a helpful person at the front desk of your apartment. For expats from overseas, an English-speaking concierge can be a great support. They assist with daily tasks such as package acceptance, handling dry cleaning, giving information about local hospitals and other facilities, and arranging babysitters. Although the services differ between properties, it is certain that a good concierge service makes daily life easier and gives you comfort.

Regular housekeeping service means your apartment stays clean without you doing the cleaning work. The professional housekeepers come to your room and ensure high-quality cleaning of areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and floors. The service also includes linen exchange, contributing to a comfortable living environment. Coming home to a clean apartment lowers stress and provides you with more free time for something else.

You can simplify your life with laundry and dry cleaning services. Some properties offer dry cleaning pickup and delivery. Furthermore, laundry service enables you to entrust your regular washing to professionals. While dry cleaning through the concierge is common, the comprehensive laundry option is less common. Experience the ease and comfort of having all your garment care needs handled efficiently.

Feeling safe at home is very important. Ken Corporation prioritizes the safety and security of its residents, implementing comprehensive measures in their properties. These typically include 24-hour security monitoring with on-site staff or security systems. Access control systems, such as auto-lock doors and key card entry, are standard features to restrict entry to residents and authorized personnel. While specific details may vary by property, a strong emphasis on resident safety is a hallmark of Ken Corporation's management.

Besides services, things inside your apartment and building rules also shape your daily life. Consider useful extras such as garbage disposals, parking availability, and pet policies when selecting an apartment.

The disposer (garbage disposal unit) installed under the kitchen sink grinds up food scraps, and water washes the small bits down the drain. It ensures keeping your kitchen clean and reducing unpleasant smells of trash.

While transportation in Tokyo and Yokohama is convenient, you might still need a car. It is true that finding parking in large cities like Tokyo and Yokohama is hard and expensive. Therefore, having parking at your apartment is a big advantage, providing easy access to your car. However, apartments with parking spaces are popular and might have limited availability. If you require a car, be sure to inquire about parking spot availability and the monthly cost when searching for an apartment.

If you have pets, finding an apartment with a pet-friendly policy offers significant peace of mind! Your pets undoubtedly enrich your life in Japan. However, you need to keep in mind the following things: there are usually rules about the kind or size of pets allowed; you might have to pay an additional fee (like a deposit or monthly fee). Always check the specific pet policies for any apartment you are considering.

Staying healthy is easier when workout places are close by. Many luxury apartments have gyms, pools, golf ranges, or spa to relax. This makes it simple to exercise or relax without traveling, helping you keep a balanced life. Utilize these facilities to stay fit!

• Fitness Center/Gym: Usually equipped with standard fitness machines such as treadmills and strength training equipment. Residents often can use the gym free of charge, allowing them to exercise at their own pace and avoid the crowds typical of commercial gyms.
• Pool: Often featuring indoor swimming pools. These can be used year-round, regardless of the weather, and are ideal for exercise and relaxation.
• Golf Range: Typically equipped with a practice net or simulator for golfers. Residents can enjoy practicing their swing or playing virtual golf from the comfort of their homes, regardless of the weather. 
• Spa: Generally, includes a sauna or jacuzzies. These offer a relaxing space to soothe tired muscles after exercise or a long day. In upscale residences, paid services such as esthetic treatments are also available.

Luxury apartments often have shared areas for every resident to use. These spaces let you relax, meet neighbors, work, or entertain your guests outside your own apartment. Places like sky lounges or workspaces add value and make living there nicer.

A sky lounge is a shared room situated on a high up in the building with amazing city views. It is usually a comfortable and stylish atmosphere, allowing residents to relax, read, socialize with neighbors, or entertain guests. Some may even include small bar areas.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend to include working spaces (such as co-working spaces or work lounges) in properties due to increasing demand. Properties may include private rooms, pre-installed monitors, or library-style areas with books. If you work from home, having a workspace in the building is helpful. You can focus on your work in a quiet place away from your apartment.

Having places in your apartment to host visitors makes it easier for friends or family to come to stay. These areas ensure both you and your guests have comfortable and private spaces during their visit.

Some properties have hotel-like rooms that residents can book for guests, usually for a small fee. This gives your visitors privacy and comfort, making it easy to have family or friends stay over.

A room within the apartment building for maids or housekeepers privately contracted by residents to provide domestic services. These vary by property but may include a simple bed, storage space, and a shower. These rooms are rare in new Japanese apartments. They offer extra space, but very few buildings have them.
