Hello everyone,
As the title says, I’m moving to the Tokyo area for a job I accepted. I only have to go into the office twice a week and it is near the Koyosumi-Shirakawa station in Koto. I also don’t have to be in at a certain time those days, so can generally avoid rush hour most the time.
I will be moving about March (dependent on visas). I need a minimum 3LDK due to having a wife and 3 kids. I’d like to stay below 275k JPY per month. That’s the max budget I’d be comfortable with rental wise.
With that said, what are some areas around Tokyo (would consider Funabashi, Kichijoji, Kawaguchi, and other areas in similar distance as well) that are great for families with parks and things to do for young kids (oldest of the three is 7)? I understand Japan is very safe (especially compared to where I’m from in the US), but obviously as looking for a family area safety is a top priority as well.
Schools in the area are not a concern for us so don’t need to consider those when making suggestions. I will be out by myself for about a month before my family comes and have been referred to a couple realtors. So have time to check out a few areas personally as well. Just really trying to narrow it down before then.
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
