@@ShootBigBucks I don't know the law in japan but usually you are allowed to change the appartment to some extend, as long as you can deliver it back in it's original state. I think, if you do it yourself and improve the quality of the appartment, the landlord cannot charge the tenant with increased rent. If he does i can imagine that you can charge him for the work you have done in his appartment, which would yet again lead to him telling the police that he never told you to improve his appartment. Overall, in a realistic scenario, if you better his appartment for free because you want to live there increasing your quality of life, he won't charge you with higher rent maybe even give you a little bonus like lowering it for a few months or even giving you free months for a while as a thank you gift. After you move he will be able to charge more afterall.

One thing I find attractive about Japanese housing is how many options there are for single people who want to live alone. In America it's nearly impossible to find a studio apartment, most apartments are 1, 2 or 3 bedroom. So if you're single you have to rent a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment and share it with 1-2 roommates. I'd much rather just be able to rent a 1-room studio all to myself.

I actually loved the first traditional apartment. I don't know how it works in Japan, but if you're allowed to make improvements I would make it look nice. And be grateful for the opportunity to live in Japan. I've lived without indoor water and with a outhouse in the past and you figure it out and get used to it. Get a gym card or find a onsen. Wood polish, lime, new tatamis, a couple floor chairs and a table, a fresh futon and a couple of wok burners is a fairly easy start. A few house plants.... It's a pretty sweet start. And $200 per month leaves more money to fully explore the rest of Japan.

But if I was trying to conserve the downstairs space as kind of a living room, then a japanese futon with a memory foam sleeping pad would do the job too since they don't add a lot of height.
