Aiming for a local-stops-only station, or an area a short walk from the station, can bring rent down a bit further. A furnished apartment also cuts down on move-in costs. *Estimated from Kazo City's average rent of ¥56,537 (an in-house estimate). There's no official station-level rent data, so this is derived from the area average, adjusted to current market conditions based on the Ministry's Housing and Land Survey.
