If you're looking to live in Machida or Chofu, the key is choosing a town that balances direct access to Shinjuku and Shibuya with a relaxed living environment.
Machida Station offers access to both the Odakyu and JR Yokohama lines, providing a direct 30-minute commute to Shinjuku and easy travel toward Yokohama. Chofu Station is convenient for commuters, with the Keio Line reaching Shinjuku in about 15 minutes. Rent is generally more affordable than in the city center, and if you expand your search to areas along the Tama River or toward Fuchu and Inadazutsumi, it becomes easier to find private rooms. These areas are ideal for those commuting to either the Kanagawa-Tokyo border (Sagamihara/Machida) or the western part of Tokyo.
