Chofu/ASIJ/others

Chofu is city located west of Setagaya, connected to Shinjuku by Keio- Line. Surrounded by green and natures, this city is good place to live yet there are only several apartment/houses for expats because it is rural area compared to central Tokyo. The main campus of the American School in Japan is located here. Also, the local football team FC Tokyo has its home ground here, so for a football lover, this city could be an ideal choice.
