Where to stay during your first weeks in Japan?

When moving to Japan for the first time, the housing question comes first. A lot of options are available.

For example, you can choose to book a hotel or an Airbnb to stay the first two weeks and focus on your search for more permanent accommodation.

You can also choose to start looking for a permanent accommodation while you are still in your home country. Some realtors, like us, sometimes accept to do online visitations and start the application process while you are not in Japan. If you are looking for a cheaper rent and a social experience, Tokyo is full of sharehouses or different sizes and atmosphere. They can sometimes be a little bit cheaper than a private apartment but depending on the accommodation, the price difference might be slight.

If you prefer to have some intimacy and prefer to rent a private accommodation, the prices in Tokyo for a one room apartment usually vary between 35,000 and 120,000 yen depending on the location and the criterias you chose.
