Tokyo / Renovated affordable share houses (+ other filters) (lowest private-room price)

Listings with private rooms, sorted by the lowest monthly rent — cheapest first.

At a glance
  • Private from ¥57,000
  • Int'l-friendly

If you want to avoid old buildings in Tokyo but keep your rent down, renovated share houses are a practical compromise. Despite the building's age, the plumbing and interiors are updated, and the initial costs are lower than renting a private apartment.

With properties along the Chuo and Odakyu lines—such as Nakano, Koenji, and Shimokitazawa—as well as those near Ikebukuro, you still get the convenience of being near stations and local shopping streets, even with renovations.
