Are there really 950yen/month 3 bedroom apartments for rent in Tokyo?

Question

I saw the following given as part of an answer to another question

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atx355D8QwT3OYZQjq5tq94N7RR.;_ylv=3?qid=20080813100605AAt5EeP

"A three bedroom apartment in Tokyo can range from 950ï¿¥ to 52,500 ï¿¥ (that's for a sweet 1 bedroom apt in Asakusa district). So, take the rent times 12, rent can range from 11,400ï¿¥ to 630,000ï¿¥/year."

Is this really so? Has anyone ever rented one of these places or know where I can find about them?

950yen/month is really cheap. I'd be more that willing to pay 10 times that much for a 3 bedroom apartment in Tokyo and it doesn't have to be in Asakusa.

Answer 1

950yen is like $10. Are you sure you're reading that ad right?!

A 3 Bdrm in Japan,if lucky, for rent at the lowest can be 60,000yen (which is roughly $600). But again, that's if you're lucky, and I doubt it would be anything nice. At average a decent  3bdrm is like 120,000yen. ($1200)

Answer 2

That could range from a toilet sized room to a nice living+kitchen+toilet rooms. I don't think that is possible because they are expensive.

Answer 3

The answer you quoted was wrong simply. That is the reason why all people answered NO to YOUR question.

Why she made up such foolish thing was because she was just fool.

Stop thinking stupid thing too complicate.

  

Answer 4

NO WAY.

3 bedroom apartment is at least 120,000 yen for a month in Tokyo.

Answer 5

I think that you may have it mixed up. It might 950 US dollars a month. 950 yen comes out to $8.70. I'm currently looking up three bedrooms in Tokyo, and the cheapest I'm finding it about 170,000-250,000 yen. That person is, I believe, misquoting, especially from the information I'm finding all over google. Do some research on your own - trust me, goodgle is a beautiful thing ;-)

Answer 6

Deffinitely NO.

These are list of apartments that have living room,dining room/kitchen and 3 extra rooms in Asakusa.

This monetary unit is 10,000 yen so it starts from 140,000 yen/month.
