If you want to soak away the day's fatigue in a bathtub while enjoying a living environment where you can communicate exclusively in Japanese, the best approach is to narrow your search to share houses that feature bathtubs and are occupied solely by Japanese residents.
You are more likely to find properties with bathtubs and a relaxed living environment in Yokohama and Osaka, and, within Tokyo, around Setagaya Ward. Rent is generally lower than the market rate for a studio apartment. The advantage of combining these two criteria is that, with similar lifestyles and conversational pacing, you are less likely to feel stressed about sharing common spaces.
