one tip on that is Japanese people are insane about the age of a building, whereas most westerners don't care, generally. So find a 30 year old building and enjoy the traditional feel with cheap rent and cold winters lol
Ah, that's good to know. I'll just stick to the south.

As far as when one just arrives, are "gaijin houses" pretty much the best choice? Are there other options for short-term rent (1-6 months)? Can they (or anything similar) be found in most cities? Are they going to be filled with 18-24 year-olds? ( if you're 18-24)
