Housing in Koenji - Studio: ideal for single persons and to keep cost down.
Kōenji is a district of Tokyo in the Suginami ward, west of Shinjuku. Its name originates from the numerous old temples that can be found in this district. Nowadays, Koenji is famous for its countless vintage clothing and vintage items shops, its cheap pubs and izakaya and for its alternative music culture scene. Primarily a quiet residential area, the main shopping street ''shotengai'' and its adjacent backstreet light up and become very lively after the sun sets and during weekends. Just a short train ride to the city center via the Chuo line or the Marunouchi line, Koenji offers cheap cost of living with comparatively affordable rent prices and day to day groceries shopping options.
