Hello to everyone! This is my first ever reddit post and English isn't my first language.

I have an offer for an internship in Japan (Kawasaki) for 6 Months (01.04-30.09.2024). I am not sure yet if I will accept that offer because of "low" salary (130.000 yean each month after taxes). Right now I am searching for a room in a shared house or appartment that is close enough to my workplace (motosumiyoshi Station or Shin-Kawasaki Station), so I can get from my place to work in a maximum of 45Minutes. My only expectations are that I am having a private bathroom (toilet shower), I don't care about sharing a kitchen or other stuff. My possible boss told me that I'll need round about 40.000-50.000 yen each month for food (if mostly cooking for myself and only going for cheap restaurants). That being said I'll have 80.000-90.000 Yen (let's say 85.000) for a room/Appartment but with utilities wifi.

I know that I also will atleast have transportation costs and that I will need a simcard, but I would actually pay that with savings by my own (otherwise absolutely irrealstic to get around with 130.000 yen)

When I was searching(/or more likely just checking the market, because I guess it's too early to allready find/book one that early) for accommodation it was really frustrating. There are basically none shared rooms with private bathroom and only a few Appartments but they are allready booked.

My main questions are: 1. Is it really realistic to survive with 45.000 Yen a month (maybe once or twice a month going for a cheap dinner with colleagues)

1. Is it realistic to find an accomodation with my given money and expectations (private bathroom)

2. When should I really start looking for a flat when I want to move in at end of march/early April?

3. Any tips where to find such an accommodation?

Thanks for helping me!
