Ikebukuro / Akabane / Nerima / Foreigners Welcome share houses (+ other filters)

Even if you are worried about needing a guarantor or signing a contract in Japanese, the Ikebukuro, Akabane, and Nerima areas offer share houses that welcome international residents, making it easy to secure a room even right after arriving in Japan.

From Ikebukuro, you can easily access the city center and Shinjuku without transfers via the Fukutoshin, Yurakucho, and Saikyo lines. Including areas like Akabane, Itabashi, and Nerima helps lower your rent, making these locations ideal for those looking to keep initial costs down and live long-term. Another feature is the wide variety of choices, ranging from bustling districts with excellent shopping to the quiet residential neighborhoods of Nerima.
