Exchange student looking to buy a used road bike in Tokyo

Hello, I will be an exchange student in Tokyo (Yokohama) for 6 months, from March to August.

I enjoy cycling back home and usually ride anywhere from 30 km to 120 km. Renting a road bike seems pretty expensive, so I’m thinking of buying a used bike and selling it before I leave.

Does anyone have tips on where to buy a bike and how to resell it later?

I found some website that sell second hand bike:
Buychari
Jmty.jp

Can I use those websites to buy/resell road bike?

I also heard there’s some paperwork to do in Japan, could someone explain what that involves?
