Hi! I just got my COE and will move to Tokyo at some point in September together with my wife.
We are hoping to pay around JPY250,000 for rent monthly, and we prefer having a larger quiet space over being in the middle of the city.
My office is in Ginza (Nearest stations are Tsukijishijo and Shimbashi). I don't mind commuting up to ~45mins to get there as I'll be WFH most days anyway.
I'm also an avid rock climber, and would like to have ~30min access to either of these gym locations: 1 2. I also like having access to nature to go for runs.
I was looking at areas halfway between the gyms and my work near the rivers, like Arakawa, Takatsu, or Ota Wards, but I have no idea what these places are like to live in and if my commuting plan is even feasible.
Thankful for advice, cheers!
EDIT: Updated the above to be clearer about our budget.
