Housing for 1-2 years for two people

My wife and I (both have visas) will be moving to Japan soon to Fukuoka but we are wondering about how to sort out housing.
Originally we were looking at apartments, but some of the upfront costs are ridiculous and their locations are quite far from our workplace.
The costs are fine but we wonder, if we are only staying for 1 to 2 years, is there a better option? There are a few Leo palace options that are 2DK (about 46m) that seem decent. I think they are unfurnished but the price is roughly 55,000 yen per month and the location is near a station.

I have read a lot of people's experiences when it comes to Leo palaces, some people had horrible ones, but others were totally fine.

Is the Leo palace option viable? Is there a better idea or getting an apartment for 1-2 years the best idea?

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Sorry, I meant around 55,000 yen per month.
