Crime scene clean up company local to yoyogi area?
Or a really good and willing to buckle down cleaning company around the area. Obviously I'm willing to pay.
I can provide pictures of the apartment in its current condition.
I need it COMPLETELY cleaned before the 21 of this month. Please- I'm beginning you. I need this.
honestly the other reply is right about tokushu seiso being what you need, not crime scene cleanup. but let me add something specific to yoyogi - there's a company called クリーンサービス (Clean Service) near Hatagaya station that specializes in gomi yashiki cleanup. they did a similar job for a friend's apartment in Sendagaya. took them 3 full days and cost about 380,000 yen
also just a heads up - the 21st is tight because most of these companies need at least a week's notice and they might need to coordinate with the building management for bulk trash pickup. yoyogi has specific garbage collection days and you can't just dump everything at once. you'll probably need to pay extra for express service if you want it done that fast
i'd call them as soon as you land and have photos ready to send. they usually need to assess the scope before quoting
fwiw crime scene cleanup companies in japan are mostly for blood and decomposition, not hoarding. you want "gomi yashiki seiso" companies. there's one called クリーンマスター (Clean Master) near Yoyogi-Uehara station that handles extreme cases. they did a job for a guy in Hatagaya whose apartment had years of trash and roaches, took 4 days and about 450,000 yen
the 21st is gonna be rough though. most companies book out at least 2 weeks and Yoyogi has strict bulk trash rules where you need permits for large disposals. your building management might even need to approve the cleanup crew. i'd call them today even though you're not in japan yet, they can do a video walkthrough with someone on site or photos. they might charge extra for rush service but it's your best shot
also bring cash or have a japanese bank account ready, some of these places don't take foreign cards
You need a tokushu seiso (specialized cleaning) company, not a crime scene cleanup crew. Crime scene places deal with blood and biohazards, not hoarding and bugs. Look for "tokushu seiso" or "gomi yashiki seiso" in Japanese. Companies that handle "gomi yashiki" (trash house) situations are exactly what you need.
Try calling ハイパー (Hyper) or ダスキン (Duskin) in the Yoyogi area. They have crews that deal with extreme hoarding and pest infestations regularly. Expect to pay 200,000 to 500,000 yen depending on the size and severity. You'll need to coordinate with the management company too, since the garbage disposal has strict rules in that neighborhood.

Shinjuku is perfect for first-timers who want nonstop energy, neon lights, and endless dining options. Budget travelers can stay near Shinjuku Station for easy access to the Yamanote Line, with hostels like Khaosan Tokyo Kabuki starting around $30 per night. For a splurge, the Park Hyatt Tokyo offers skyline views from $500 per night.
🌸 Shibuya: Trendy and Youthful
Shibuya is ideal for nightlife lovers and fashion-forward visitors, with the iconic Scramble Crossing right outside your door. Mid-range hotels like the Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu run $150-250 per night, while capsule hotels like Nine Hours Shibuya offer a budget option at $40. Families might prefer quieter streets just a 10-minute walk from the station.
🏯 Asakusa: Traditional and Budget-Friendly
Asakusa offers a glimpse of old Tokyo with Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise Street, perfect for culture seekers and families. Budget ryokans like Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu start at $80 per night, including a traditional breakfast. The area is quieter at night, so night owls may want to stay closer to Ueno or Akihabara.
🌳 Ueno: Family-Friendly and Cultural
Ueno is excellent for families thanks to Ueno Park, the zoo, and several museums all within walking distance. Hotels like the Ueno Station Hostel Oriental I offer dorm beds from $25, while the Mitsui Garden Hotel Ueno costs around $120 per night. The area is well-connected by JR and metro lines, making day trips easy.
💻 Shibuya and Shinjuku for Digital Nomads
Digital nomads should look at Shibuya or Shinjuku for coworking spaces and reliable Wi-Fi. The Shibuya Stream building has a free coworking lounge, and nearby cafes like Fuglen Tokyo offer strong coffee and outlets. Monthly apartment rentals via services like Sakura House start around $1,000 in these areas.
🌆 Roppongi: Nightlife and Luxury
Roppongi is the go-to for upscale nightlife, with clubs like V2 Tokyo and high-end bars. Luxury hotels such as the Grand Hyatt Tokyo start at $400 per night, while business hotels like the Roppongi Plaza Hotel offer rooms from $100. The area is also close to art museums like Mori Art Museum.
🚃 Getting Around: Station Proximity Matters
Staying near a Yamanote Line station (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Tokyo, Ueno) saves time and money on transit. A 24-hour metro pass costs 800 yen and covers Tokyo Metro and Toei lines. Avoid staying too far from a station, as taxis are expensive (starting at 420 yen for the first kilometer).
💰 Price Tiers and Budget Tips
Budget travelers can find capsule hotels or hostels for $20-40 per night in areas like Asakusa or Ueno. Mid-range business hotels (Toyoko Inn, APA Hotels) average $80-120 per night. For luxury, expect $300-600 per night in central districts. Book early for cherry blossom season (late March to early April).
honestly the guide nailed it but i'd throw in nakameguro for anyone visiting in spring. the canal walk during cherry blossom season is insane, way less crowded than ueno or shinjuku gyoen. plus there's a killer onigiri spot called Onigiri Bongo that sells out by noon, and the area has a ton of tiny wine bars and vintage shops. rooms at the Claska hotel start around $120 and it's a quick hop to shibuya on the tokyu line
solid write-up, covers the big ones well. for my money, if you're a food nerd, staying near a good tsukemen or ramen spot is a legit strategy. i booked a hotel in takadanobaba once just cause i wanted to be walking distance from Taishoken, the tsukemen birthplace. that area is also full of student bars and cheap eats since Waseda Uni is there, rooms at the b:CONTE hotel run like $90 a night and it's two stops from Shinjuku on the Yamanote. way less tourist crush than Shibuya for late-night bowls
This is a solid breakdown, really covers the main bases well. One thing I'd add for anyone staying in Shinjuku is that the station itself can be overwhelming even for locals, so picking a hotel on the west side near the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is a good hack. The views from the free observation deck there are just as good as the paid ones, and you avoid the chaos of the east exit. For cheap eats in that area, the basement floor of Takashimaya department store has incredible takeout bento boxes under 1,000 yen that beat most convenience store meals.
