Under ¥40,000/month rent in Tokyo. Catch? You’ll be living in the Tokyo they don’t show in anime. It’s affordable. It’s quiet. It’s… a few train rides from all the action. #TokyoOnABudget

In Japan you can quench your thirst with your train pass.
No wallet. No problem. Just beep, sip, and go.
These little moments are the heartbeat of Polaris, a story rooted in everyday events, memory, and cross-cultural connection.
