Share houses in Kichijoji range from small-scale renovations of private homes, which are relatively common, to larger buildings specifically designed as share houses. Kichijoji consistently ranks at the top of 'places people want to live' lists. The secret to its popularity lies in its excellent living environment and convenience.
The bustling city center is concentrated around the station, surrounded by shopping streets, with residential areas spreading out beyond that. Even within the residential neighborhoods, you'll find small, stylish shops scattered about, making local strolls a delight.
Furthermore, despite being a commercial hub, you can reach the lush Inokashira Park in less than a five-minute walk from the station. Another attraction is the adjacent Inokashira Park Zoo, a metropolitan zoo known for having been the home of Hanako the elephant.
Kichijoji's popularity isn't just due to its environment, but also its great transport links. You can use the JR Chuo Line, the Chuo-Sobu Line, the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line (which runs directly through), and the Keio Inokashira Line, offering convenient, direct access to various destinations.
Why not catch a glimpse of this multifaceted town, which hosts large-scale festivals centered around its shopping streets, from the comfort of a share house♪
