If you are a couple or friends looking to share a room, filtering your search for properties that allow double occupancy is the quickest way to find what you need.

This is a great option for those looking to keep initial costs low, as you can split the rent while saving on security deposits and key money. In terms of location, areas like Saitama (centered around Omiya) and Chiba (such as Kashiwa) offer more spacious rooms and more affordable rent compared to the city center. If you prefer to be in Tokyo, we recommend starting your search there and comparing properties along your commute or school route.
