If you are looking for a room in Kichijoji, Mitaka, or Koganei that welcomes international residents, focusing on share houses with lower hurdles for screening and guarantors is the fastest way to find a home. We have compiled a list of properties where you can move in using just your passport or residence card.
This area offers excellent access to Shinjuku and Shibuya via the Chuo and Inokashira lines without the need for transfers. While private rooms in popular Kichijoji tend to be pricier, you can find more affordable shared-style units if you expand your search to Mitaka or Musashi-Koganei. Many of the property managers are experienced in international exchange, creating an environment where you can settle in easily even if you are not confident in your Japanese.
