Depends what you want. If you have 2 people then a 2窶喞K is prolly what you want, a 2 room, with dining room and kitchen, and normally has a bathroom and toilet. Not very big mind you.

As for the cost of something like this theres some factors, location being the key. Where? And then again where?
Example - in Tokyo? Right, now how close to tokyo? Right, now how close to a train station?
An apartment out of Tokyo next to a station wont always be cheaper than an apartment close to Tokyo but nowhere near a station.

So lets see, Kita-ku where I lived for a while is on the norther edge of Tokyo, about 30mins from everything, a good location. Generally its got stations, both JR and subway everywhere, so your looking at anything from like 60,000-110,000 yen a month. But then theres bond and key money... 10,000-20,000 for 窶氾ァ窶ケテ? (key money) which you'll never see again. And around the same, sometimes less for 窶「~窶ケテ? (bond) which is like a safety deposit, be a good tenant and theres a chance you'll get it back.

I like this site, but without Japanese it can be a little tricky - 【CHINTAI】賃貸マンション・賃貸アパート・賃貸物件など不動産賃貸・お部屋探し検索サイト|スマホで賃貸

What do you need housing for? Short-term? Long-term? Planning to work? Holiday? Theres better ways then renting, especially in Japan....
 
Oh, and unless your Japanese is very good you'll need someone to settle the deal for you, many many landlords will not rent to foreigners. Might be best going to a rental shop in Japan and getting them to organise it or else you wont get anywhere.
