Quick answer:<\/strong> A short-term apartment in Tokyo costs about \u00a54,500\u2013\u00a59,000 a night, \u00a528,000\u2013\u00a565,000 a week, or \u00a5120,000\u2013\u00a5280,000 a month for a furnished 1K (20\u201325\u33a1), depending on the ward. The key rule: in Japan, a stay of under one month counts as lodging and needs a licensed operator, while one month or more is a residential lease. That is why monthly mansions start at 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
