There
is a huge difference in what is offered on Japanese sites and English sites. Whether there will be more choices available to you really depends on your budget and desired size.
Sites catering to foreigners in English tend to be aimed toward the very high income expat - the kind whose company either covers everything, or who will be getting paid enough that cost isn`t a huge concern. Most sites seem to only list from a very small pool of rental properties.
But in the end, it does depend on your budget. No matter how many choices are available, if you are looking for something that doesn`t exist - you won`t find anything.
What kind of apartment are you looking for? And for what kind of budget?
If you tell me what station you`ll be close to I`ll do a quick search and post a couple links to what is available on Japanese sites.
