** UPDATE**

Looks like we have a taker, ladies and gents. Thanks for your inquiries...

Anyone want to move in here?

My current room-mate, Fuku-chan, is heading back to Berlin to continue her baking studies. She's out on October 1, and we need someone to take on her room. I'm hoping for a more long-term person this time - I knew that Fuku would only be here for a while, but as we had already lived together and knew each other so well I was happy to have her back again. It's such a drag to hunt for a new room-mate that I don't wanna have to do it again for a while....

Anyways, I'm hoping for a vegetarian non-smoker (I know they exist), or at least someone who can cope with a vegetarian kitchen. Someone who likes a drink, music, the internet...

The room is a large, parquetry-floored room with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors opening to a lovely garden with grass. It's about 13 mats in size.

The house is fully-furnished, with all the usual mod-cons and wireless internet, and the room has some furniture in it too: a double futon, shelves and hanging rack, floor couch and table, TV and vcr and misc lamps, laundry stuff and a shopping bike. (All yours for ¥10 000)

Rent is ¥75 000 pm, there is a small deposit to pay, and all utilities are extra.

2 lines are close by - the Chuo line (Nishi-Ogikubo station is 15 mins walk / 8 mins by bike) and the Inokashira line (Mitakadai station is 10 mins walk / 4 mins by bike), and Kichijoji is 20 minutes walk, or 10 if you're riding. Close to Inokashira Koen, 3 supermarkets (including an international shop), a post office, dry-cleaners, bars, etc etc etc. It's a lovely, quiet area with lots of greenery.

Pictures can be seen here.

If you're interested, please email me at mc.outside@gmail.com, and feel free to forward this info to friends who might be interested.

October 1 is only 25 days away... crap. Hope there is someone out there!

I'm going to put a whole lot of handy google-searchable terms here now... (my ecto desktop application has gone all buggy since the computer troubles of July so I can't use key words at the moment), so nothing to see here folks....

Tokyo apartment for rent; Kichijoji rentals; room-share; house-mate; flat-mate; share-house; Suginami-ku; Shoan; ...

Dear Aunty Marty, You're teasing me again with that lovely sunny room! Actually have a friend who is planning the move to Japan but she was heading over in December! Little late I suppose? I am considering a trip myself but all depends on what happens in the next 4 - 6 weeks... have an agent now! and have some competitions, applications, pending, etc. Crossing fingers for more prosperity! And hoping you find someone soon too!

Yes, i have read this post a couple of times now and im tempted too.... The opportunity to live with you would be an added bonus to the beautiful room and garden... oh and imagine being able to play last fm all day without having to think about how much of your monthly downloading quota you were using! But the timing is not right at all, and in any case, i think there is a boy who would be very offended if I didnt move in with him! And yet, im still so tempted....

Hello. The room looks like a dream. I'll be moving to Tokyo next month after the 16th- is that too late? I'm not totally vegetarian though I'm heavily into organic stuff. I don't smoke at all.
