- The rent for the first semester should be paid before you arrive in Japan.
- Paying in a lump sum for every semester is the only option.

The Ichigaya campus of Hosei is in central Tokyo.
Accommodation rent of central Tokyo is about 70,000 JPY to 100,000 JPY per month.

Since in Japan, it is also necessary to pay additional (non-refundable) fees when signing a lease, so that the initial payment is likely to amount to two to five times the monthly rent.
