Hi 👋 I just moved to Tokyo for a job that’s close to Shibaura Park (Mita/Tamachi). I found a nice 1LDK for 187000 that would allow me to walk to work (13min). I go in 3 days a week and make 10M JPY. I’m in temporary housing until mid June.
I’m slightly hesitating on choosing it because it’s a very business-y area and I’m a little worried I would be paying a lot to live in an area where I won’t have a lot to do, especially if it’s my first year in Tokyo as someone in their mid/late 20s. I like going to cafes, shopping, and exploring neighborhoods so I was looking in the meguro area too but haven’t had as much luck.
On the other hand, I don’t like long commutes, so it would be nice to never have to endure rush hour trains and to be able to go home and still have energy to go out again for dinner with friends or go to the gym before work.
If you know the area well, let me know what you think of the fit.
