The Guarantor Wall

Most landlords require a guarantor or guarantor-company approval — a step that stops many foreigners before they start. We select guarantor companies with a track record of approving international applicants and walk you through the application.

Listings That Say No to Foreigners

Many landlords still refuse non-Japanese tenants outright. We only show you listings from landlords and management companies who explicitly welcome foreign residents — so you won't apply just to be turned away.

Confusing Contracts, Hidden Costs

Deposit, key money, agency fees, fire insurance — move-in costs pile up in ways that aren't always explained. We break down every line item and walk through the contract itself, in Japanese, English, or Vietnamese, before you sign anything.

No Phone, No Bank Account, No Lease?

Just arrived and don't have a Japanese phone number or bank account yet? That's normal — and it doesn't have to block your lease. We map out exactly what you need, in what order, so the chicken-and-egg problem doesn't stall your move.

Choose Your Rental Format

Standard Lease

The standard 2-year lease — Japan's most common rental format. The longer you stay, the more cost-efficient it becomes, ideal if you're settling in for the long term.

Monthly & Weekly Rentals

Furnished, no deposit or key money, and typically no guarantor required. The fastest way to have a place the moment you land — ideal as a landing pad while you search for something longer-term.

Share House

Lower upfront cost, shared common spaces, often no guarantor needed. A popular first step for newcomers who want an easier entry point and a built-in community.

Corporate Housing

We also arrange company-leased housing for relocating employees — coordinating directly with HR or general affairs teams for a smooth, single point of contact.

Know Your Housing Options

Apartment vs. Mansion

Wood or light-steel "apato" buildings are budget-friendly; reinforced-concrete "mansion" buildings offer better soundproofing and earthquake resistance. We'll match the right type to your budget and lifestyle.

Layout Guide (1R–2LDK)

1R, 1K, 1DK, 1LDK, 2LDK — Japan's layout codes can be confusing at first. We explain what each one actually means in practice and recommend the right size for singles, couples, or families.

New Build or Older Property?

Newer buildings mean modern fixtures and peace of mind; older buildings mean lower rent. We give you an honest read on the trade-offs so you can choose without regret.
