I would like to go to Japan for 3months and find a place in Hachioji and preferably in Soka University because my boyfriend will be going there. I've been searching hours and days for apartment but I can't find anything! ZERO compare to Shibuya...harajuku minato etc Maybe I need to search in Japanese?

Would someone advice me on some website or apartment names I could search for. I'm willing to pay up to approx 100,000yen/month.

Also, are there buses in Hachioji (sorry if it's a stupid question). I tried searching on Google map and it says you need to WALK to Soka Uni if you're living there or DRIVE. Obviously we have no car so can we bus there or must we walk/ride a bike there?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! appreciated!

Hi, nice to meet you too.
It sounds great!Is your boyfriend Japanese?
Well, it takes about 20 min by bus from Hachioji station to Soka Uni.
Try to check its website. → SOKA UNIVERSITY | HOME

And there is a lot of apartment in Tokyo, so I don't think it's difficult to find it.
See this website.→ 外国人専門賃貸物件紹介サイトEstate-Search
It doesn't show the list of apartment but just ask to them.
Or I can ask for you if you like.

I hope it would help you in some way.

If you want to get a fair idea of what is available in Japanese - Go to this page, copy+paste 八王子 into the text box near the top, then press the search (検索) button to the right of the box. It will bring up a list of places for rent in the vicinity of the station. For me it brings up 7,333 places for rent. There is a next button to the right of the number (次へ) to go through the pages.
The information for each place is from the left ;
1. Closest station, with address listed below
2. When only one number - the time it takes to walk to the station. Two numbers - top is the time it takes to walk to a bus stop, the bottom number is the time it takes to get to the station by bus.
3. The size, type/number of rooms, what floor it`s on.
4. How old the building is, which way it`s facing.
5. Rental cost/costs
6. How many months worth of deposit, fee will be required. (red 無料 is none)
7. Type of building, what it`s made out of
8. Picture of the building

If you click the text under the picture, you can see more pictures of the place usually including a plan of the room.

There is a good chance you can find a room that is far from the station but close to the school.
