Is it hard to find accommodation in Japan/Tokyo? - 03-11-2010, 02:56 AM

Me and my friend are from the UK and sometime next year in 2011 after Summer we would both like to move to Tokyo for 12 months on a Working Holiday Visa but I read a comment earlier that it's very hard for non Japanese to be allowed to rent an apartment in Japan? Is this true? It's very off putting and this person said that we won't be treated equally and that finding a job is also hard because we're not Japanese.

Could anyone provide some input? What's the best type of accommodation for my and my friend? Are there any websites? We don't want to share with other people either if that is possible, just the two of us however we don't mind something like a homestay but it seems they are rare in Japan?

So basically to sum it up, where can we find accommodation?
