What to expect from this IKEA apartment in Tokyo

The fully furnished studio apartment is at 10m² and you can find it specifically in Shinjuku.  It showcases a cosy, minimalist interior design — all courtesy of IKEA, of course. It’s also a study in maximising the two-level vertical space; with features like a loft space for the bed, a bathroom with a toilet and shower, a kitchenette, lots of shelves, and other convertible storage items. 

However, the rent does not cover moving costs and utilities. But with such a low price, it’s still quite the bargain, don’t you think?

Helping spread the word about this is Blåhaj, the brand’s resident shark mascot who also happens to be a real estate agent. 

Applications for this IKEA rental service are now open until 3 Dec 2021 to all those part of the IKEA Family Members program. For more information, click here.
