With 36 different Social Apartment located within Tokyo itself (as for June 2017), our most requested train line is always the Yamanote Line. The Yamanote Line (山手線, Yamanote-sen) is Tokyo’s most important train line. It is a circular line which connects Tokyo’s major city centers. A trip around the whole circle takes approximately one hour. There are 29 stations on the Yamanote Line, only 2 of which (Shin-Okubo and Mejiro) do not connect to other lines.
You’ll find below a list of all of our Social Apartment directly located on the Yamanote Line:
SOCIAL APARTMENT HARAJUKU

This immensely popular neighborhood is home to boutiques, cafes, bistros, and all the other hallmarks one would expect to see in one of the most fashionable districts of a world metropolis. In a quiet residential pocket of this coveted area, only 6 minutes walk from Harajuku station, this property is a befittingly unique designer building created from the ground up as a social space for residents. With a blend of reinforced concrete (a staple of designer Japanese housing) and warm and inviting wooden elements, Social Apartment Harajuku is the perfect balance of livability and designer sensibilities.
As a uniquely social space, the lounge is a place where different languages, dialects, and philosophies come together to intermingle and create new experiences. This design philosophy is felt in the chalkboard wall provided for free communication between residents, and the bookshelves adorning the wall with texts from across Japan and the world. Even the dining table has been meticulously designed with engraved wording to emphasize the power of the many individual stories that will meet in this lounge.
