List of foreigner-friendly apartment complexes and agencies in Tokyo, Kanagawa prefecture?

Aside from Sakura House (prices for even just room shares are looking quite pricey) what other sites do you know of that aren't full of scammers?

My single coworkers mostly go through Sakura or Oak House.

But pigs are always found on farms haha!

Well there is nothing wrong with not worshiping money and city life. Working with your hands and creating things, working with the land has proven to be mentally healthy. I don't mind hard labor as long as the work is full time and stable.

I would also like to learn agricultural skills as it is one of many interests. Actually, a lot of young people that were doing the work grind in Tokyo and other big cities have started to move into the countryside and take up work like this because it is less stressful and it helped them mentally, physically and spiritually. It isn't all bad man.
Maybe. On the other hand, it can be argued that all human progress since the beginning of agriculture has been made by people who have been trying to avoid doing.....agriculture. It is back-breaking hard work. Growing enough to actually feed yourself is very, very hard. Ironically, many people, after 40 years sitting in a padded chairs in a climate controlled office pushing papers around with their pinky, retire and spend their final years in a garden growing vegetables. I support you TJB! Take your thumb out of your ass! It just might be that it is green!

dont know if i missed something, but do yourself a favour and dont rent an apartment without having a job (most likely you wont get any without a job anyway)...
stay in some sharehouse until you got a fulltime job and if you wont get one, or it takes too long, then you go somewhere else...
you have any plan at all?

No, most evil people don't like creating things (such are growing vegetables), they just like destroying things (becoming white collar criminals or wannabes of that in the cities).

It is from laziness among some people, but among the evil, they prefer to lend their idle hands to the devil or shove them up Frenchies' ass...which he loves by the way.

Hey, well at least I'm not an SJW, so the movie would be decent and wouldn't have the main character a woman that is constantly screaming: "I'm a gay woman and I don't need no man! Women are stronger than men!" Then proceeds to use kung fu on an army of Christian white males.
 
So I have been checking a lot of these roomshare websites and a lot of them only list really upscale apartments that have been decorated and played up to create hype and make roomsharing seem trendy and cool.

This website is the first one I came across that actually lists cheap rooms: http://roomshare.jp/en/post/211119

I noticed that some of the rooms seem to be used as storage only: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://roomshare.jp/en/post/210144

This is another good roomshare website: https://www.tokyoroomfinder.com

You are a concern.
 
I lived in Sakura House for a little while. They have a full range of everything from dorms (ie, shared rooms) to share houses (everyone has their own rooms but share kitchen/bathroom) to regular apartments. Generally the buildings are the less desired/older buildings, and they are also more expensive than an apartment where you have a long term lease. I lived in one that was mostly wood and was immediately next to a train line. Within a year of me moving out it was gone and they'd replaced it with a formed concrete building.

If you aren't in Tokyo yet, maybe Sakura House would be a good temp solution for a month or two till you can get a UR place or something else.
 
You basically have a solid roadmap that several of us have personally used ourselves to get on our feet in Tokyo. With your posts about being attached to your ex wife & family ditch thinking about a room mate etc get a shared house on your own & be fully independent.
It’s a good feeling to control your own future. With having PR you are in a way better situation than lots of us when we moved to Tokyo (I imagine security wise).

Anyway, I'm going to most likely focus on moving into a neighborhood somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo or in a random city in Kanagawa instead of in downtown Tokyo.

As usual, bad idea. The rents aren’t that much cheaper outside of the city or in Kanagawa, and you are going to spend more money on commuting into a job you don’t have yet. Also, the food options are much more expensive in small towns in Kanagawa. Cheap eats for single people are cheapest in the low income densely populated areas towards Chiba. Cup noodles are the same price everywhere. I say find a dirt bag flop house 4.5mat room somewhere in Sumida-ku for 50,000, or out that way with the migrant Asians. Or you can find cheap one room run down places near the universities. What kind of work are you going to do anyway? Your plan to be a farmer and your plan to move into the city are at odds.....
 
You don’t have to go afar out to the suburbs to live cheap in Tokyo if you are single. Yoshiwara/San’ya neighborhood will do as long as you don’t frequent the soaps there....it used to be a day-laborers’ district but now becomes increasingly backpackers’.

I know a Japanese woman that has been living cheaply in the outskirts of Tokyo for years and she thinks your comment is absurd. The idea that I'm wrong "as usual" is your opinion and the opinions of people that don't like me,

Most of the jobs, but not all are located in the heart of the city. I never claimed that I will only be willing to take jobs in the downtown area did I?

You do know that there are people (foreigners too) that ride bicycles in Tokyo yes?
 
yeah thats the ones that do uber on the side for most likely not the best reasons^^
