Shinjuku / Nakano / Koenji / Bathtub share houses

If you work in the Shinjuku, Nakano, or Koenji area and want to "soak in a bathtub rather than just take a shower," the quickest route is to narrow your search to properties with an in-room bathtub or a shared bathroom with a tub.

This area is served by the Chuo and Sobu lines, with direct access to Takadanobaba and Ogikubo without transfers, making it easy to balance central-Tokyo access with rent. Bathtubs are limited in older buildings, but you're more likely to find a clean unit bath in buildings whose plumbing has been fully renewed.
