Moving to Japan for 6 Months

Hey! I’m a doctoral student and I’m moving to Japan for an exchange program for 6 months. It’s actually 5 months since 1 month will be done from home as the COE is processing. I’ll be arriving on March 15, 2026.

I’m very new to the accommodation and everything. I checked AirBnB and it’s pretty expensive. I was looking for an affordable shared house around Chiyoda City. If not this city somewhere close by with reasonable price would be great!

I would really appreciate the help!

Thank you in advance.

Based on the stipend I’m getting my budget is around ¥45k to ¥50k.
