How long can you stay in a share house?


Most companies generally set the length of time you can stay in a share house to be between 6 months and 1 year.
Examples include properties in the Tokyo metropolitan area, properties that accept many international students, and large shared houses where a large number of people live together.

However, depending on the company, you can stay for 1 to 3 months.
At XROSS HOUSE, which operates this site, all properties can be moved in for a minimum of one month!
However, if you use campaigns, etc., there may be restrictions on the tenancy period, such as 3 months, so please contact us for details.

For other companies, if you search for locations that are often visited by many people on business or study abroad, such as office districts or tourist spots, there is a good chance that you will find a share house that you can sign for your desired period of stay.

Cost price for short-term stay


The average cost to move into a share house in Tokyo for a short period of time is around 56,000 yen.
Renting an apartment costs about 80,000 yen on average, so you can save money by renting a shared house.

Furthermore, since there is no deposit or key money required for a share house, and furniture and home appliances are already provided, it is possible to reduce the initial cost of purchasing furniture and home appliances by around 100,000 to 150,000 yen.

If you want to save even more money, choose a dormitory or shared room instead of a private room to make it even more affordable.
Also, some share house management companies run campaigns where the first month's rent is half off, or free rent campaigns where the next month's rent is free for the first month, so check them out. That's fine.

How to choose a short-term share house in Tokyo


Here we will introduce three points on how to choose a shared house in Tokyo if you want to move in for a short period of time.

Point 1: Choose a property that matches your desired contract period


The first point when choosing a short-term share house in Tokyo is to choose a property that allows you to contract for the length of time you want to stay.
This is because no matter how much you find a property that you like, you will not be able to move in unless the contract conditions are met.
Therefore, be sure to understand the period and dates you need to live in Tokyo before searching for a share house.

The contract period may be written on the website that lists the share house.
If you are unsure, please contact us using the contact form or contact details.

Point 2: Check the contract terms


The second point when choosing a share house is to carefully check the contract terms.
This is because the initial cost, furniture and appliances provided, and whether or not cleaning services are provided vary depending on the share house.

In addition, some share houses offer campaigns where the rent is half price for the first month, or where the initial fee for moving in is waived.
In order to keep costs as low as possible, it is important to consider the contract conditions when searching for a property.

Point 3: Choose a room that matches your reason for moving in for a short period of time


Another important point when choosing a share house is to choose the type of room that suits your reason for living in Tokyo for a short period of time.

For example, if you are going on a business trip to a company in Tokyo or attending training/courses, a private room would be best for you because you can have plenty of time to yourself to relieve the fatigue of the day.
You may also create materials or study after returning home or on your days off, so a room with a desk and chair is recommended.

If you are staying in Tokyo for a trip and want to save on travel costs, you may want to choose a dormitory room type.
A dormitory is a type of room where you can use either the upper or lower bunk beds separated by curtains and a common space.
The bed is equipped with a mini table, lighting, and electrical outlets to ensure a comfortable stay.

In this way, by choosing the type of room that suits your reason for staying in Tokyo, you will be able to spend a stress-free and comfortable stay.

Short-term rental properties other than shared houses and market prices


Share house Tokyo short term

So far, we have introduced the average cost of a share house in Tokyo that you can move into for a short period of time, as well as how to find one.

From here, we will introduce rental properties other than shared houses that you can move into for a short period of time and the average cost.
Please consider this as one of your options.

Weekly Mansion


If you are staying in Tokyo for only a few weeks, a weekly apartment is recommended.
Weekly apartments are rental properties with furniture and home appliances that can be contracted on a daily or weekly basis, and are used by businessmen who frequently travel for short periods of time.

The average weekly rent for a weekly apartment in Tokyo is around 40,000 to 60,000 yen.
In addition, weekly apartments generally do not require security deposits or key money.
However, be aware that some condominium management companies may charge a fee.

monthly apartment


If you are staying in Tokyo for a month, you also have the option of a monthly apartment in addition to a share house.
A monthly apartment is a rental property that comes with furniture and home appliances and can be contracted on a monthly basis.
Rent is approximately 100,000 to 180,000 yen per month, which tends to be expensive compared to other rental properties.

Although the rent is cheaper in a shared house, it is suitable for those who value their private space and those who want to avoid troubles between residents.

guest house


If you plan to stay in Tokyo for days or weeks, or if you want to keep costs as low as possible, consider staying at a guesthouse.
A guesthouse is an accommodation facility operated for tourists, where you can sleep in shared rooms or private rooms.
Just like in a shared house, showers and toilets are in the shared space.

Accommodation fees are cheaper than hotels, around 2,000 to 3,500 yen per night.

If you are staying in Tokyo for a short period of time, use a share house to enjoy a comfortable and affordable stay.
