GET A FEEL FOR THE CITY

Life in Tokyo.

Tokyo is Japan's capital and largest job market, with a dense share-house and furnished-apartment scene aimed at foreigners on working-holiday, student and tech visas. Renters cluster along the Yamanote loop and the western private lines: Shibuya, Shinjuku, Nakameguro, Shimokitazawa and Kichijoji for lifestyle, Koenji and Nakano for cheaper rooms. The rail network is the densest in the world, so commutes are measured by station rather than distance.
