[KineJapan] Housing in Tokio

Wed May 11 14:52:18 EDT 2022

You can check out Airbnb, but the common option in Tokyo would be weekly mansions, which would give you clean, furnished place with a kitchen for less than a hotel. They can differ in price depending on the location and accommodations, but there are some near central Tokyo that would cost about 90,000 to 100,000 yen if you had it for a month. We once stayed in a weekly mansion in Sangenjaya—which is convenient to Yebisu—when our house on the same line was unavailable. It did not cost that much.

As for entering Japan, foreigners can now enter Japan, but only those with visas. It seems they will experiment with allowing tourists in next month, starting with those on group tours.

> Dear all,

> Next year, from March 14, I’ll stay in Tokio until May 12 for a research grant from JF. So, please, I need help for the housing. The research will be mainly in Tokyo Photographic Art Museum (TOP), Yebisu Garden Place, 1-13-3 Mita Meguro-ku. I guess it is an expensive area, so maybe I need to live in any other close areas… Most of the time I’ll be alone, so an small place is OK (as naïve as it can sound talking about Tokio 😉

My understanding is it is very difficult to see. It was also filmed towards the tail-end of the US occupation, which was a tumultuous time for a number of reasons, but is of particular note (and controversy) because of its depiction of the extant yakuza gangs at the time.

It features a really nice span of types of films, from a Nakajima Sadao-directed Yakuza film to two usually very difficult to access films by the legendary documentary film collective NDU.
