(IV) When should I start rental search?

For those who have not yet come to Japan, most of them choose to get a place before coming to Japan. So they could go to sign the contract when they come and directly move into their new home.

However, Japanese rentals usually provide no furniture or appliances, so you need to buy them by yourself, which might be inconvenient to all of you. (You could choose minimini products “Super-kun”, properties with furniture and appliances.)

If you plan to start rental search after coming, you could firstly book a hotel for two or three weeks. In current situation of Covid-19, a 14-day quarantine is required, so you could use this time to find a rental. Please note that after applying for a property, the time required for the screening is up to two weeks. Please consider these things and make reasonable arrangements.

If you are already living in Japan and just need to change a place, the procedures will be easier. You could start looking for a rental about one month in advance.

Next time we will introduce “Precautions for rental search in Tokyo”.

(III) Will it be inconvenient if I live outside of Tokyo?

Many people choose to live outside of Tokyo for various reasons, the location of schools or companies, high rents in Tokyo, or they prefer a quiet environment. When living outside of Tokyo, however, they worry that it has inconveniences.

In fact, you don’t need to worry about it. Students who have lived in Japan for a period of time should have discovered that it is very convenient even you are not living in Tokyo. You could find support facilities including supermarkets, convenience stores, drugstores, post offices and banks everywhere.

In addition, Tokyo’s public transportation system is extremely convenient. There are multiple routes with a rapid transit system. A rapid train ride costs equally to one local train ride. The only difference is that rapid trains skip a few stops in comparison to the local one, which makes their time of arrival notably shorter.

Next next we will introduce “when to start searching for rentals”.

(II) What factors should be considered when search rentals in Tokyo?

Factors to be considered include location, commuting time, budget, housing facilities, surrounding environment, etc. Most of you are studying or working, so you could firstly consider your school or company location.

If the rent there is within your budget, living around school/company will be a good option. If the rent is relatively high, you could choose somewhere farther away but with easy access. The public transportation in Tokyo is very convenient, so you could take an express and arrive somewhere very far within just half an hour.

If your school/company is in the suburb area and you want to live in a hot place, you could also choose to live in the city center. In addition, it is good to live closer to the station, but there is also a noise problem, you could weigh up the pros and cons before making a decision.

Furthermore, facilities and equipment in the property and the surrounding environment also need to be considered. When renting a place in Tokyo, generally there’s no furniture and appliances in the house, so you need to buy everything by yourself. What you should confirm is the air conditioner, gas equipment, access control system, network, etc.. The surrounding environment is also important. It is necessary to confirm its safety conditions and whether there are supermarkets, post offices, hospitals, banks, etc.

(I) How much budget should I prepare for renting in Tokyo?

The rental price in any city is affected by many factors, including location, distance from train/subway station, whether it is newly built, etc. Tokyo Metropolis consists of 23 special wards and 39 other, ordinary municipalities (cities, towns and villages). Tokyo, with Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa, also form the Tokyo area. According to different geographical locations, rents vary greatly.

Let’s start with the 23 wards of Tokyo. For a place for one person, the median rent of a house in Tokyo is about 70,000 to 80,000 yen. The most expensive areas for rent in Tokyo are Minato Ward and Shibuya Ward. The average rent for 1K is between 90,000 and 110,000 yen. Rents are relatively cheap in areas far from the city center. If you would like to live in somewhere cheaper, you could consider Chiba in the east, Hachioji in the west, or Saitama in the north according to the location of the school and company. The average rent in these areas is less than 70,000 yen. If you want to live in a more spacious house, you can also consider these areas. For the same price, a house rented a little further away will be much more spacious than a house rented in the central area.

Next time we will introduce “What factors should be considered when renting a place in Tokyo”.

And if you choose a large-scale, experienced agency with formal procedures, complete rental process, complete written materials. There will be an explanation of the contract contents before signing the contract, all costs will be listed in the contract, and there will be no hidden costs. You can choose a suitable house according to your own situation.
