This 1-bd condo is located in Hatagaya, a well-developed neighborhood with strong daily-life infrastructure (supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants). It’s safe, quiet, and not as chaotic as areas like Shibuya or Shinjuku. Great for visitors who prefer staying somewhere quieter but still centrally connected and wanting quick access to Shinjuku, Yoyogi, Harajuku, etc. It’s 2 stops or 4 mins away from Shinjuku, making it highly accessible and working well as a camp base for sightseeing!! :-)

[History]
Hatagaya received its name from the year 1082 when a legendary samurai Minamoto no Yoshiie was returning to home in Kyoto from one key clan war. Minamoto stopped at a pond to wash his ceremonial flag, put it up on a pole and hold a ceremonial enkai banquet with his men. The area's name Hatagaya (valley of the flag) was thus created and used for close to a thousand years!
