Other (Tokyo) / Foreigners Welcome share houses

If you are looking to move into the Tokyo suburbs (outside the 23 wards) and are concerned about procedures regarding your residence card or finding a guarantor, the best approach is to narrow your search to properties with a proven track record of welcoming international residents.

Areas along the Chuo, Keio, and Odakyu lines—such as Tachikawa, Hachioji, Fuchu, Chofu, and Mitaka—offer direct access to the city center while maintaining more affordable rent than the 23 wards, making them ideal for those looking to keep initial costs down. These areas are home to international universities and factories, and you can often find management companies accustomed to providing multilingual support.

• If you are open to areas beyond the suburbs and want to see a wider range of options, please check our list of share houses that welcome international residents.
• If you are unable to visit in person, our properties in the Tokyo suburbs that offer online viewings are a convenient option.
• For women, please also consider our properties for women in the Tokyo suburbs.
