- 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.
- Charges for electricity and water are covered by Hosei University. However, should monthly fees become excessively high due to misuse, such as excessive usage of air conditioner etc., she/he will be requested for the surcharge(s).

Accommodation Other Than Dormitory
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.
