- Rooftop Garden — The most impressive feature of the apartment, described as a private English garden where you can 'get lost'. It's an oasis in the heart of the city, perfect for dinner parties or quiet meditation, offering a peaceful zen garden vibe.
- Smallest Bedroom — Even the smallest of the four bedrooms is larger than most typical Japanese apartment bedrooms. It's a corner room with windows on all sides, featuring dual-pane glass for excellent soundproofing and insulation, making it quiet despite being in the middle of Tokyo.
- Jacuzzi Bath with TV — One of two jacuzzi baths in the apartment, complete with a built-in TV for entertainment.
- Master Bedroom — A massive master bedroom, over 40 square meters, which is larger than most entire Japanese apartments. It's an open space with an entire wall dedicated to closet storage for clothing and suitcases.
- Living and Dining Room — An enormous living and dining area, measuring 83 square meters, large enough to fit two typical Tokyo apartments or four cars. It's ideal for receptions or large parties, offering ample space for a huge TV and L-shaped couch.
- Hidden Kitchen — A spectacular kitchen with marble countertops that can be completely hidden from view behind a sliding door, perfect for entertaining.
- Elevator Access Button — A unique button that allows the elevator to come up to the fourth floor, as it doesn't usually stop there. This provides exclusive access for residents or their guests without needing to go downstairs.
- Guest Bedroom — This guest bedroom is larger than most master bedrooms in typical Japanese apartments, featuring ample closet space.
- Heated Bathroom Floor — A luxurious bathroom with heated floors, providing comfort, especially during winter.
- Inner Dog Washing Garden — A mini garden on the fourth floor, visible from every room, featuring a dedicated shower for washing your dog's feet after a walk. It's a pleasant spot for morning coffee and playing with your dog.
