Many appliances, dish, gabage, books and magazines are remained in the flat. I myself have not checked the flat yet so I cannot tell if one is there, work or broken.

Rent

Thinking under 100,000 yen. Depends on timing, how much you are okay with "as is" renting conditions, etc. Useful link for explaining how the housing in Tokyo is.  here

comparing with other accommodations

Average rent for the same three rooms type flat around here is about 120,000 plus 10,000 yen care taker fee, and you need aprox. 6 month of rent initially, 3 month of which never return. So I guess (partially)furnished 100,000 yen per month without thanks money is fairly good.

Let me show you how much it takes if you rent another 3BR in MinamiMachida.

In Japan,rooms are usually unfurnished, which means you need to purchase a lot after moving in.

Monthly rent is, say 120,000 yen, 2-months thanks money, 2-month deposit, plus 1 month agent fee. It means you need at most 6 times of rent at the beginning. Thanks money never returns. Landlord requires you to make 2 years contract.

Guarantor thing, which is also common in Japan, I do not like it, too. I have not decided how to handle it. But it depends on how I can be convinced.

    By Car

    Near by Tomei Yokohama interchange of Tomei Holloway and Tokyo Institute of Technology Univ.

    Just at the next building, there is a good convenience store. Supermarket Precce at MinamiMachida station is big. Supermarket Sanwa 15 min by walk is a big store which also sells cloths, furniture, appliances and pets.

    There is a big shopping mall in front of MinamiMachida station. See Tokyu MinamiMachida Shopping Centre web page. This site has good English maps of around MinamiMachida. There also are two supermarket, precce and caroful(sp?).

    Around the Machida station (4.5 km), department stores, shops, restaurants, schools and bars are there. I fortnightly go to a Machida library to borrow books, CD and videos for free (all resident can borrow them).

    The next station, Tsukimino, now has a supermarket with 9 screens Cinema complex. That supermarket(Saty) is 15 mins walk from Tsukimino station.

    Naruse Gymnasium (2 km) has a good excises room which all residents can use only by 100 yen per 80 min. Public tennis courts and play fields are available, too. Minami junior high's pool are opened to residents by 200 yen (1 km). If you prefer private sports gym, there are some in Aobadai, Nagatsuta, Chuo-Rinkan, Machida. It costs more or less 10,000 yen per month I heard.

    Honestly, I don't recommend our flat to the person who has to commute to the very central Tokyo area at peak time. Commuting 1 hour on a train in the morning Tokyo is really tough. harder than gym excising (really). If you can make your work time to late side, it may be okay. Our former Australian flatmate was mainly working at Shibuya with avoiding peak time, Japanese mate Eiko worked at Ebisu.

    But even around here, there are over million people living and consequently there are many shops and activities. So if you can set your working place near here, it'll be good lifestyle like mine.

    YMCA at Sagami-ono has a intermediate Japanese (language) class. But it tends to be cancelled because of lack of students. 042-740-5501 (from outside of Japan, +81-42-740-5501). There also are some other Japanese classes held by local community. As far as I heard, Machida city and Aoba-ku of Yokohama-city have.
