Tokyo Denki University's Saitama Hatoyama Campus is reached by bus from Takasaka 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.
Tokyo Denki University's Saitama Hatoyama campus is a single-faculty site — Science and Engineering students spend all four years here, with no mid-course relocation. Unlike the urban Senju campus, it sits in a suburban setting surrounded by the Hiki hills.
The real favorite is Takasaka Station, about an 8-minute school bus ride away, with neighboring Kita-Sakado and Higashi-Matsuyama stations also in the mix. Studio and 1K rents run roughly ¥30,000–50,000 a month, dramatically cheaper than at the urban campuses — a defining feature of student life here.
The ranking below includes both Higashi-Matsuyama and Kita-Sakado, a reasonably close match, though Takasaka itself, where the school bus departs, doesn't appear on it. Use the Takasaka rent level as your baseline, then weigh Higashi-Matsuyama and Kita-Sakado from the ranking, or look further along the line for even cheaper options.
Bushu-Nagase serves Moroyama's main residential area, near Saitama Medical University, with Tojo Line connections via Sakado.
In Japan there are often only a few weeks between acceptance and the start of term. A furnished apartment cuts both the setup work and the upfront costs, so you can start student life right away. See the Housing Guide (furnished / share house / standard rental) →
