If you want to live in Tokyo but are concerned about being turned away due to screening processes or guarantor requirements as a foreign national, the best shortcut is to focus on properties that explicitly state "Foreigners Welcome."

In multicultural areas like Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Takadanobaba, or along the JR Chuo and Yamanote lines, many property managers can assist you in English or Chinese. You can keep initial costs down by choosing properties that include utilities and Wi-Fi.
