Let’s say you've recently secured a remote job or you're one of the employees who don't have to return from the office, and you’ve decided you want to live the digital nomad life. Now that you can physically live and work anywhere, where should you go? And is there a way to find housing options that are built specifically for digital nomads and location-independent workers? The answer is yes! As a digital nomad, there are many things to take into consideration when it comes to accommodation. But one thing is of the utmost importance – you need a place that will help cultivate creativity, productivity, and efficiency with your craft. After all, remote work is how you're able to live this life, so you need a solid place to get into your flow state. Now, let's dig into how you can discover housing in Tokyo as a digital nomad.

Tokyo is one of the world’s best-equipped cities for remote work. Coworking spaces are abundant—WeWork, Regus, and a thriving network of boutique spaces—along with quiet cafés that welcome laptops. Internet speeds are reliably fast, and convenience is legendary: 24-hour stores, cashless payments, and spotless coin laundries. Neighborhoods like Shibuya, Shinjuku, Meguro, and Kōenji each offer a distinct vibe, whether you prefer high energy or slower, residential streets along the river.

As a nomad, you’ll appreciate how seamless life feels here. Trains run on time, neighborhoods are walkable, and even late evenings feel safe. Renting a furnished apartment with a dedicated home office in Tokyo means you can land, plug in, and stay productive from day one—while still being steps away from ramen counters, sento bathhouses, and weekend escapes along the JR lines.

Finding the right accommodation in Tokyo as a new digital nomad can be stressful, and even as a veteran nomad, time-consuming and tedious. It's crucial for any digital nomad though, as the place you temporarily call home will be the one thing to give you a sense of comfort and a chance to relax and unwind after a long day. Luckily, it doesn't need to be complicated – you just need to know where to look. You can browse listings for Tokyo on sites like Craigslist or Apartments.com, although it might take a lot of time (and emails sent to random people) to actually find what you're looking for. Platforms like Airbnb can suffice, but they're more suitable for shorter vacation stays and don’t necessarily offer up lodging built for digital nomads and remote workers. We suggest starting with a digital nomad housing platform, like Anyplace. Anyplace is a housing marketplace built for digital nomads and remote workers who travel. It was created by nomads and for nomads, having the most important aspects to thrive, such as a desk in every apartment, reliable and speedy WiFi, and amenities that let you truly live like a local. And because it's a platform built for digital nomads, we know how crucial freedom is for the lifestyle. That's why our properties in Tokyo are available on flexible terms, so you can stay on a month-to-month basis without having to sign a lease.

We’re a team of nomads who work and travel, and we know what is needed in an accommodation experience for a successful stay. And we’re here to make it really simple—and secure—for you to rent an apartment in Tokyo for 30 days or longer. Here are a few things that set us apart from the pack.
