If it weren't that I don't speak too much japanese I'd be living in Tokyo renting an apartment in near Nakano, Higashi-Nakano, Nakano-Sakaue, Komagome, Takadanobaba, Monzen-nakacho or Nishi-Nippori subway stations. They're less than 80000 yen but some charge key money (the dreaded reikin which is unrefundable)
"Mansion" (just an apartment in a small building) close to Higashi-Nakano (3 min) and Ochiai stations (5 min), 56000 yen/month, no key money, no deposit
"Apaato" close to Komagome Station (3 minutes), 57500 yen/month. 57500 yen key money, 57500 yen deposit
60000 yen/month, 60000 yen key money, 60000 yen deposit, close to Komagome station
59000 yen/month, no key money, no deposit close to Nishi-Nippori Station (5 min)
There are lots of options with this search filter (Komagome, Nakano Sakaue, Nakano, Highashi-Nakano, Nishi-Nippori, Monzen Nakacho, Machiya Stations and Takadanobaba stations, with private toilet/tub, AC and indoor laundry connection)
Maybe I should post this here

I guess I'd have to rent first from another real state agency like Sakura House or another who's more foreign friendly and has less strict conditions (other than having the money ready to pay) for a few months until I'm lucky in an interview to get a job.
Currently I've the funds to live on my own for several months there, but the language is a big barrier for me. I do know every hiragana, katakana and some kanji's and vocabulary/common phrases to survive though. It's a kind of vicious cycle that you've to have a job to apply for renting an appartment even if you've the money to pay some months. Well, that's actually how it works in many countries. ┐·_·┌
I'll have to see in some years in the future if I'm able to master the language and if I can keep the same economic position I've now to execute that plan. There are educational establishments in my country that teach "professional" japanese in 4 years which are very price friendly but I don't know if that'll work
IDK how things are going there for IT professionals. I'm more on the development area (programming mostly as a senior developer. I've to get less rusty when making more management tasks like designing use cases, RFP's, User histories which I did on my last company but I was fired because they were outsourcing development).
I know a fair amount of japanese culture to fit in their society, but being a gaijin might be a problem if I don't have the contacts to get a job. I don't mind if that means constant hard work since in my country I get paid less much than in Japan with about the same amount of work and with the constant concern for crimes and shitty culture that floods Chile (i.e: If you scam somebody you're considered a genius instead of a criminal, even in small scale like not giving the right change when paying, not returning a missing wallet, stealing bikes parked in the street, etc.)
That's why I love Japan's culture so much. You've to just focus on your work without other 3rd-world worries

Well, I'd guess finding an IT job would be difficult unless you got at least N3 or higher Japanese skills.

Yeah, I'll ask here in my country is they deliver a course in that level or higher.
It has been always a goal for me to learn fluent Japanese. Greets!
オレは日本語がちょっと分かります、でもがんばります！

Sounds like many countries. ;P
In all seriousness I wouldn't want to unless I was set for life (like win the Powerball or something) as I don't like their work culture. Also pretty sexist there too.
But I'd love to retire there so I never need to drive again. XD
