Accommodation in Tokyo
Accommodation during your studies in Tokyo
Finding the right student accommodation in Tokyo is an important first step for international students beginning their life in Japan. There are several options to suit different lifestyles and budgets, including student housing, partner residences, and host family stays that offer a more immersive cultural experience. Student housing is an affordable and convenient choice, with rent starting at 390,000 JPY (approximately 2,150 EUR) per term.
Living in Japan also means experiencing a unique housing culture: spaces are often compact but thoughtfully designed, public transport is extremely reliable, and daily life is known for being safe, clean, and well-organized. Whether students prefer independent living or a closer connection to local customs through a host family, student accommodation in Tokyo offers a comfortable base for studying, exploring the city, and experiencing Japanese lifestyle firsthand.

Nextage (Homestay in Japan) offers TUJ students the opportunity to live with Japanese host families and experience everyday life in Japan. This option is ideal for students who want deeper immersion in Japanese culture and language. Participants are expected to adapt to the host family’s lifestyle, including living locally, sharing a Japanese diet with the family (breakfast and dinner), and taking part in daily family life.
Students who choose the homestay option will enter into a private contract directly with Nextage and agree to all terms and conditions set by the provider. After selecting the homestay option through the TUJ housing application, Nextage will coordinate with TUJ regarding the homestay arrangement and its status.
