Don’t have an answer but a property agent once told me it would be a breach of contract if I were to rent an apartment in my name but shared it with other people living there semi-permanently without agreement of the landlord.
Real answer: However many are on the lease.
I once knew a crew of construction guys who rented out a couple LeoPalace units and bunked like ten to a room. Nice guys, in town for a temp contract. I made them a pot of curry a few times. Doubt they were all on the paperwork but they kept to themselves and got away with it.
If you have more than 4 people living in a 60 square meter space, you might as well be living in a shoebox.
I don’t think so. Just for sure, sharing an apartment with other people without landlord’s consent is a material breach of rent agreement and would most likely result in a termination of lease agreement. In most cases, you need to specify people actually reside in the apartment when you execute a lease agreement in Japan.

You could either
A) ask strangers on the internet
B) ask the realtor/landlord showing the apartment
Hard to tell which is the better option tho
