Share Houses In Tokyo

[John Dillinger]

Hey everyone. So I'm thinking after I retire, of visting Tokyo for about two months at a time twice a year. So, I've heard sharehouses are pretty cheap accomodation, only costing about 300-400 dollars a month. What would I need document wise as a foreigner to stay at one, and is there any other information I'd need to have to do so?

It depends on the sharehouse. Generally your passport will be all they want since you're a tourist. Best thing is to contact the sharehouse(s) you're interested in and ask directly.

If you're coming to Japan that often, would highly recommend that you move about a bit. Stay in Tokyo, then next time in Kyoto, next time in Fukuoka, etc. Of course it depends on what you want to do but there is a lot more to Japan than just the 23 wards.

Maybe look for Workcation places which are also popping up around Japan. I'd think the passport would be enough for ID.
