It sits in a quiet, tree-lined part of western Tokyo, roughly 40 minutes from central Tokyo by train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chiyoda Campus<\/strong>, in central Tokyo, houses the Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy (Hitotsubashi ICS), the university&#8217;s English-taught MBA program. Students here are typically graduate professionals rather than undergraduates, and their housing needs often differ from the undergraduate population in Kunitachi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most Hitotsubashi University student housing searches, Kunitachi is the relevant area. ICS students in central Tokyo generally look at housing closer to their Chiyoda classes instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-1-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-1-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bright, cozy single room near Hitotsubashi&#8217;s Kunitachi Campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"University-Run_Dormitories_Near_Kunitachi_Campus\"><\/span>University-Run Dormitories Near Kunitachi Campus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Residence Hall Kunitachi<\/strong> sits directly on the university&#8217;s west campus, about 800 meters or a 10-minute walk from Kunitachi Station. It offers both private and shared single rooms, plus couple and family rooms, and includes resident assistants who support international students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Residence Hall Keimeikan<\/strong> is about an 8-minute walk from campus. It&#8217;s designed for mixed occupancy between graduate students and international students, with fully furnished single rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Residence Hall Chuwaryo<\/strong> is another on-campus option in the same general dormitory system, coordinated through the university&#8217;s Student Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>International House<\/strong> sits next to the Kunitachi West Campus, about a 10-minute walk. Built in 1992, it primarily houses research students and scholarship recipients. This includes many students on government-sponsored programs. It consists of two buildings \u2014 one with single rooms and one with furnished apartments for couples and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Residence_Hall_Ikkyo-Ryo_Kodaira\"><\/span>Residence Hall Ikkyo-Ryo (Kodaira)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residence Hall Ikkyo-Ryo sits further out, in Kodaira, and is jointly operated with Tokyo Gakugei University, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, and the University of Electro-Communications. It&#8217;s reached from Kunitachi Campus via a short train connection through Kokubunji Station, followed by a 10-minute walk from Hitotsubashi-Gakuen Station. Rooms come in private and shared single formats, plus couple and family units, and residents have access to an active dormitory association that organizes floor meetings and events. This dormitory suits students who don&#8217;t mind a slightly longer commute in exchange for a larger, more socially active international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Neighborhoods_for_Hitotsubashi_University_Student_Housing_Off-Campus\"><\/span>Best Neighborhoods for Hitotsubashi University Student Housing Off-Campus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kunitachi Station area<\/strong> is the most convenient private-housing option, within easy walking distance of campus. A 1K or 1DK apartment here typically runs \u00a560,000\u2013\u00a575,000 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kokubunji<\/strong>, one stop from Kunitachi, offers slightly lower rent with a short train ride to campus. Expect \u00a555,000\u2013\u00a570,000 per month for a comparable unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tachikawa<\/strong>, a larger transit hub a bit further out, has a wider selection of shops and services. Rent here is generally similar to Kokubunji, trading a few extra minutes of commute for more amenities nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a broader look at student rent across Tokyo, our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/average-rent-tokyo-international-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">average rent for international students in Tokyo<\/a> is a useful comparison point against these western Tokyo figures.

It&#8217;s a small, leafy university town built around a wide tree-lined avenue leading to the station \u2014 quite different from the dense commercial districts most people picture when they think of Tokyo. It&#8217;s quiet, walkable, and geared toward students and long-term residents rather than tourists or nightlife. Cost of living runs noticeably lower than central Tokyo, and the pace is slower, which suits students who want a focused academic environment over constant urban stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade-off is fewer late-night options and less shopping variety compared to a hub like Shinjuku or Ikebukuro. Tachikawa fills some of that gap with department stores and a wider dining selection, while keeping a reasonable commute back to campus. Students who want more urban energy on weekends often make the trip into central Tokyo. That&#8217;s straightforward via the Chuo Line, though it adds meaningfully to weekly transit costs if done often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guarantor_Paperwork_Requirements\"><\/span>Guarantor &amp; Paperwork Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Private apartments in Japan almost always require a guarantor.

Regular degree-seeking students should confirm eligibility early with the Student Division rather than assuming a spot is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Commute preference.<\/strong> Residence Hall Kunitachi and Keimeikan offer the shortest walk to class. Ikkyo-Ryo trades a longer commute for a bigger, more international dormitory community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Independence.<\/strong> Dormitories come with shared kitchens, communal laundry, and resident-assistant check-ins. A private apartment near Kunitachi or Kokubunji Station gives more control, once the guarantor and paperwork steps above are cleared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-3.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-3-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hitotsubashi-university-student-housing-3-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peaceful, tree-lined streets in the Kunitachi university town.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Securing_Housing_Before_You_Arrive\"><\/span>Step-by-Step: Securing Housing Before You Arrive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Confirm whether you&#8217;re eligible for a university dormitory<\/strong> through the Student Division as soon as your acceptance is confirmed \u2014 eligibility varies by program and scholarship status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply early if eligible.<\/strong> Popular options like Residence Hall Kunitachi fill up well before each semester starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If arranging private housing, start 6\u20138 weeks before move-in.<\/strong> Most landlords won&#8217;t hold a unit much longer than that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line up your guarantor company and documents in parallel<\/strong> with your apartment search, not after \u2014 this step causes the most delays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confirm your actual commute time<\/strong> to Kunitachi Campus from any shortlisted apartment, since western Tokyo&#8217;s train network involves more transfers than central Tokyo in some directions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_Hitotsubashi_University_Student_Housing\"><\/span>FAQ: Hitotsubashi University Student Housing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where is Hitotsubashi University&#8217;s main campus?<\/strong> Kunitachi, in western Tokyo, roughly 40 minutes from central Tokyo by train.
