Haha hey another coincidence--I also lived in a J&F affiliated apartment (JAPT.) when I
went to language school in Takadanobaba as well haha...

I got a dual bachelor's degree in magazine journalism and psychology. My school's journalism program is pretty reputable within the US, but now that I've left the States, it sort of renders it useless haha.

And thanks for the sites! I don't know why I didn't think of checking Craigslist. Just a brief skim through it and I already found this great site.

While they don't have any apartment listings straight up, they offer some good information for those interested in living there. They also have a bilingual blog with relevant, interesting posts:

Craigslist was a real resource. I'm reaching out to various ads, just waiting for some answers :)

But yeah, so... Damn I really want to go now.

Craigslist has more detailed ads but gaijinpot has more posts.

I used to post ads on craigslist only but since it is an American site, response was limited to only Americans and I was simply not getting enough replies.

So I started to use gaijinpot more often cos it is pretty well-known among foreigners in Japan.

You should hit as much ads as possible cos not everybody responds and the key is to actually go down there to take a look.

Also just a friendly reminder, it's written スウェーデン not スヴェーデン.

Yeah, I'm checking gaijinpot constantly also!

Oh, yeah, true. My mistake :>

Hey there. Did you find your apartment/guesthouse yet? I will be studying at Waseda University for the coming academic year too -- and also looking into private apartments. I have some sites if you're still looking.

Hey. I thought I found a room now, and have applied ;) I'll write when I see I get it !
