If you want to cut down on your commute without paying high city-center rents, you can easily achieve both by choosing suburban lines, even within a 5-minute walk of a station.

In areas like Nakano and Koenji on the Chuo Line, Meidaimae on the Keio Line, or Nakameguro on the Tokyu lines, you can find affordable private rooms, even near the station. Since you can reach the city center in about 20 minutes, you'll have a shorter walk home on rainy days or after the last train, significantly reducing your daily stress.
