Toho University's Omori Campus is about a 8-minute walk from Umeyashiki 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.
Toho University splits across two campuses in different prefectures: Omori in Tokyo's Ota Ward, home to Medicine and Nursing, and Narashino in Chiba's Funabashi City, home to Pharmacy, Science, and Health Sciences. This page covers the Omori campus.
The real favorites are Umeyashiki Station, about an 8-minute walk from campus, and Ota-machi Station, about 10 minutes away, both on the Keikyu main line. Some students commute by bus from JR Kamata or Omori stations instead. Given the demands of Medicine and Nursing — clinical rotations, night duty — convenience of commute tends to matter more here than for many other faculties.
The ranking below is dominated by distant, cheaper stations on the Kawasaki side of the Keikyu Daishi and Nambu lines, such as Bentenbashi, Higashi-monzen, and Kawasaki-daishi — none of which match the real favorites, Umeyashiki and Ota-machi. Use the rent level around those two stations as your baseline, then browse the ranking for other options that fit your budget.
Bentenbashi is a Tsurumi Line stop serving the Keihin industrial belt; nearby Tsurumi Station opens up the Keihin-Tohoku Line, and rents are among Yokohama's lowest.
Hatchonawate crosses the Keikyu Main Line and Nambu branch within walking distance of Kawasaki Station — Kawasaki convenience at a discount.
Tsurumi-Ono is the most livable of the Tsurumi Line stops, one station from Tsurumi's Keihin-Tohoku hub.
Tsurumi-Ichiba keeps its old Tokaido-road shops, two stops from Kawasaki at local-station prices.
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) →
