accomadations in Japan

[Ronnie Corporon]

I'm new to this newsgroup and was wondering if anyone knows of a site or a
list on the net that would have names of gaijin(guest) houses around Japan?
My husband and i plan on going to Japan in March to teach english, we
haven't signed up yet but I'm doing all my research before hand

with:

Accommodations can normally be arranged through your prospective
employer. They're not going to leave you sleeping on a bench
somewhere.

Precisely what do you mean by "sign up"?

by "signed up" i mean that i haven't contacted NOVA or GEOS or anyone like
that yet...
I know they won't be making sleep on a bench outside lol but i heard that
accomadations through them were very expensive compared to guesthouses and
stuff

Are gaijin houses cheap anyway? I thought the only advantage they offered
was that you don't need key money or a guarantor, so they are handy for
people fresh off the boat so to speak. Some of the weekly mansion (i.e.
apartment) places advertise that they accept foreigners, so maybe these are
worth a look too.

Before you "sign up" with anyone, you should take a look at the current
issue of O-Hayo Sensei: The Newsletter of (Teaching) Jobs in Japan. In
addition to reporting over 100 currently available teaching
alternatives to GEOS and NOVA, you can peruse the listings to get a
feel for exactly what accommodations are being offered, and at exactly
what price. A search on the word "accommodation" will turn up quite a
range of offers and rents -- you may be surprized at what schools are
offering. Don't "sign up" with anyone without researching what's really
out there. The easiest way to pick up the current issue is probably via
ftp at ftp://ftp.ohayosensei.com/current.txt
(save the file to your hard drive, and then open it with your favorite
word processor).
