Tokyo / Small House (Max 9) affordable share houses (lowest private-room price)
Listings with private rooms, sorted by the lowest monthly rent — cheapest first.
- 20s/30s mainly
- Private from ¥48,000
- Int'l-friendly
If you want to avoid the dormitory-style living of large share houses in Tokyo but feel uneasy about living alone, a small-scale house with 9 or fewer residents is the ideal choice, offering a perfect balance of privacy and a sense of community.
For a good balance between access to the city center and rent, areas like Koenji and Nakano on the Chuo Line, Meidaimae on the Keio Line, and Gakugei-daigaku on the Tokyu lines are recommended. At this scale, common areas are less crowded, and detached-house options are also easy to find.
- To see more options, you can broaden your search criteria in our list of share houses in Tokyo.
- If you prioritize private room amenities even in a small house, check out our share houses in Tokyo with bathtubs.
- If you are looking for a place for two, see our share houses in Tokyo that allow double occupancy.
