The University of Tokyo Housing Office's website provides helpful advice on how to search your housing from "University of Tokyo Residence Halls" to privately operated apartments, and explains the procedures, customs, and other features of Japan's apartment rental system.

University of Tokyo Residence Halls

Room applications are taken twice a year, in January (for admission in April) and June (for admission in October). Please check Notice and take necessary procedures at GAIA. Unfortunately due to the limited number of vacancies, not all applications can be filled and new enrollees are prioritized in selection process.

Private Apartments

Some of the international students may wish to rent a private apartment and some will have to as a result of no vacancies in the student's dorm. In either the case, Private Accommodations page of the UTokyo Housing Office is useful. Also, the International Support Group's web site is helpful.

UTokyo Co-op Housing Support Desk for International Students on Hongo Campus will be open from Monday, February 3, 2025. They are ready to help you.
