In Yokohama, the easiest way to narrow down share houses is to choose a train line that suits your commute to work or school. JR, Keikyu, Sotetsu, Tokyu and the municipal subway all meet at Yokohama Station, and the line you live on decides where you can go without changing trains. For Shinagawa and Haneda Airport, look along the Keikyu Main Line. For Shibuya, Shinjuku-sanchome and Ikebukuro, the Tokyu Toyoko Line runs through onto the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line. For Kawasaki, Shinagawa and Tokyo Station, use the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line or the JR Yokosuka Line. For Shin-Yokohama and Machida, use the JR Yokohama Line. The Sotetsu Main Line starts at Yokohama Station, where you can change to the other lines, and through trains to the JR and Tokyu lines run from Nishiya Station.
Stations with listings include Namamugi, Koyasu, Minami-Ota and Gumyoji on the Keikyu Main Line, Tsurumi, Hodogaya and Oguchi on JR lines, Hoshikawa on the Sotetsu Main Line and Myorenji on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. If you want to choose by travel time, use Search by destination: pick the station you commute to, then narrow down by minutes by train and by whether you can get there without changing trains.
