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.
- If you are open to living outside of Tokyo, please check our nationwide list of foreigner-friendly share houses.
- If you are looking to move in with a partner or friend, our Tokyo properties that allow double occupancy are a great option.
