Any way to guarantee placement in Tokyo?

I’m a white female living in the UK (I say this bc I know lots of companies will treat you differently because of race) and hope to teach English in Tokyo, as my boyfriend lives there and I would live with him.

Most of the major companies seem to make you sign a contract and then reveal your placement, meaning I could end up anywhere.

Is there a way to guarantee that I would be at least within two hours of Tokyo? Like could I say I’m willing to be flexible with my start date as long as I’m placed in Tokyo? Would some companies give me priority in choosing a location because of my situation?

Alternatively, are there any companies where you apply specifically for one location?

Basically I don’t want to sign a contract and then end up having to live far from Tokyo for a year.

Thank you in advance for the help.
