Remote-Work-Optimized Furnished Apartments Debut in Ebisu, One of Tokyo's Most Prestigious and Globally Connected Districts

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- , a U.S.-based platform for remote-work-ready furnished apartments, today announced its official expansion into Japan with the launch of its first Tokyo location at Ebisu Garden Place in partnership with Sapporo Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

The project marks Anyplace's first deployment in Japan and introduces a new category of work-ready designed specifically for remote professionals, software engineers, startup founders, digital nomads, and long-term business travelers.

The initial launch will take place at the luxury residential tower Ebisu Garden Terrace Nibankan, located in the Ebisu district of Shibuya, Tokyo. Ebisu is widely regarded as one of Tokyo's most desirable neighborhoods, offering convenient access to central business and international districts such as Roppongi and Hiroo, while maintaining a refined residential atmosphere.

Addressing the Growing Demand for 30+ Day Work-Ready Housing in Tokyo:

As remote and hybrid work models become structurally embedded in the global workforce, demand for flexible, long-term living solutions continues to rise. While Japan remains an attractive destination for international professionals—particularly from the United States—housing options in Tokyo that meet the needs of global remote workers remain limited. Many available options lack one or more of the following:

• Apartments designed for 30+ day stays suitable for long-term living
• Remote-work-ready infrastructure, including high-speed internet and professional work setups
• English-friendly operations tailored for international residents
• Flexible lease processes accessible to overseas professionals

Each Anyplace unit in Tokyo will include:

• High-speed Wi-Fi
• Ultrawide monitor
• Ergonomic office chair
• Height-adjustable desk
• Fully furnished apartment

Unlike traditional serviced apartments designed primarily for short-term leisure stays, Anyplace units are purpose-built to support full-time remote work from day one. This helps fill a gap for international professionals seeking housing in Tokyo that is both comfortable for long-term living and fully equipped for full-time remote work.

Partnership with Sapporo Real Estate Development:

Under the partnership structure, Sapporo Real Estate Development leases residential units within Ebisu Garden Place to Anyplace, which then furnishes and operates them as work-ready furnished monthly apartments.

This initiative aligns with broader efforts to strengthen Ebisu's role as a hub for global innovation talent, as Japan continues to promote startup and cross-border entrepreneurial activity.

Strategic Expansion from the U.S. to Tokyo:

Anyplace was founded by CEO Steve Satoru Naito and began scaling its remote-work-optimized housing model in earnest in 2021, in response to the global shift toward distributed work.

The company operates furnished units in key U.S. cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, serving professionals relocating between cities without long-term lease commitments.

The Tokyo expansion represents a significant milestone as Anyplace connects U.S.-based professionals and global talent with long-term, work-ready housing in Japan. Tokyo has become one of the most attractive destinations for global talent, yet housing options tailored to remote professionals remain limited.

CEO Commentary:

"Launching our first Tokyo location at Ebisu Garden Place marks a significant milestone for Anyplace. We are not simply providing housing — we are building infrastructure for a world where professionals can choose where they live and work.

Japan offers world-class residential quality, yet work-ready housing for global professionals remains scarce. This launch bridges that gap, delivering a seamless 'live and work from day one' experience for the global workforce."
