Where to Live as a Komazawa University Student

Komazawa University is about a 10-minute walk from Komazawadaigaku Station. Here are the 15 cheapest stations within roughly 30 minutes* of it, sorted by studio rent. Balancing rent and commute time is the key to a comfortable first apartment in Tokyo — start your search from this list.

Where do students actually live?

Komazawa University is based entirely at its single Komazawa campus in Setagaya, with no relocation across the four years. The real favorite is the nearest station, Komazawadaigaku, valued for its direct seven-minute ride to Shibuya. Sangenjaya, Futako-Tamagawa, and Mizonokuchi are also popular, while Miyamaedaira and Miyazakidai — just across the border in Kanagawa — tend to be chosen by students looking to save on rent.

The ranking below centers on Kanagawa-side stations along the Tokyu Denentoshi Line, and Miyamaedaira and Miyazakidai do overlap with the real favorites. On the other hand, the campus-adjacent Komazawadaigaku Station itself, along with convenience-focused favorites like Sangenjaya, Futako-Tamagawa, and Mizonokuchi, doesn't appear on the list — worth weighing both sides when you look at it.
