Got contract at OIST, now… apartment?

Hello,

I am a French Canadian neuroscientist who will start as a postdoc at OIST 1st of July.

OIST is a very nice campus but in the middle of nowhere, so I am looking to rent a car and get accommodation somewhere around a more populated area. Now, I have read that apartment prices can be quite hiked for a foreigner because of the military bases (which I have nothing to do with) and was wondering if there are tips to find a decent living place? I'll be making close to 6M yen and 80% rental paid up to 60000.

Any help appreciated and looking forward for the move!

(Doing Duolingo daily but Japanese still very very basic),

Cheers
