There are private real estate agents around Waseda University, who can offer you a variety of accommodation options. You can also find lease information magazines in bookstores. Please note that when you use real estate agents and sign a lodging contract, you will need to pay Key Money called “reikin” (non-returnable) and Deposit Systems called “Shikikin” (bond), which is a unique custom in Japan(*). Therefore, please talk to your guarantor or people who are familiar with this custom in advance before you make your decision.

The chapter of “Housing” in “The International Student Handbook” written in both Japanese and English.
