    Your best bet will be Airbnb apartments. Check the host's feedback & ranking to make sure they look after their guests well.

    My first thought was AirBNB! I've had quite a few friends stay throughout Japan for a few weeks in apartments offered by them, and had great experiences.

    Sakura house is a good option. They are easy to book and have most things you'll need. Decent locations too. http://www.sakura-house.com/en I also agree with the AirBnB option, as they are cheap. However, privacy might not be as good if you're using AirBnB.

    Maybe try some the estate agencies based in Takadanobaba - they are used to finding places for foreign students and can do so in a number of languages I hear, so perhaps they could find something short-term.

    A share house or AirBnB are probably your cheapest options. If you really want to experience an adventure, you could try a capsule hotel.

    There are lots of options at booking.com (https://www.booking.com). You can find hotels, apartments, capsule inns where you can reserve without any pre-payment. Have a great stay in Japan. :)

    http://khaosan-tokyo.com/en/ for hostels (which have varying levels of privacy and cost) because you can meet a lot of interesting people and they have shared kitchens. Some locations have an attached bar. Three weeks is a long time to eat out every meal. Some of their locations have private rooms (some rooms are dormitory style) and they are each unique and friendly to foreigners.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.
