I'm so glad that I moved closer to my company. Changing an hour long commute by 2 very crowded trains to a 7 minute walk was the best decision I made since coming here. It's much less stressful and I save 2 hours every day. The biggest downside is the rent increase, but I can live with it.
As for looking for apartments, I recommend http://suumo.jp/. Keep in mind, that it's the best to go to a real estate agent once you're here, since many places online are taken in minutes, but the offers are left on websites for a while.
