KOENJI Crossover 602

KOENJI Crossover is a 32.99 m² 1LDK in Yamatocho, Nakano, with Koenji Station an eight-minute walk away. Nogata and Nakano stations are also options, though at 19 and 22 minutes on foot. Rent is ¥162,000 plus ¥10,000 monthly management fee. The building is under five years old, with auto-lock entry, a lift, security cameras, parcel lockers and 24-hour garbage disposal.

The plan puts an approximately 8.9-tatami living-dining room at the center, with an adjoining bedroom of about 3.1 tatami on one side. The balcony runs along the living room and bedroom. At the entrance, a shoe cupboard leads past a compact kitchen and storage toward the main room; the bathroom, separate toilet and washroom are grouped near the entry. The bedroom is small, so check whether your bed and storage will fit before committing.

The kitchen has a two-burner induction cooktop, and the home includes air conditioning, indoor laundry, a bathroom dryer and reheating function. The pictured kitchen is compact, while the main room’s concrete ceiling and gray floor give it a cool, industrial feel rather than a warm, finished look.

The exterior has tiled and concrete finishes with balconies across the façade. Koenji is the practical draw; at this rent, the limited bedroom size and long walks to the other stations are worth weighing.
