Why renting here is hard — and why it isn’t with us

The six things that stop foreigners. We remove all of them.

No Japanese?

We speak your language

Six languages, from the first message to key handover — and the contract explained line by line.

No guarantor?

We find rooms that don’t need one

We won’t ask you to find a Japanese guarantor. We search properties that accept tenants without one.

Still overseas?

Rent before you land

Video viewings, digital contracts, remote key handover. Sign from Jakarta, Yangon or Moscow and move in on arrival day.

Worried about screening?

We prepare your application to pass

Agents with years of screening experience walk you through it — which documents to get, how to present your visa and income, what each landlord and guarantor company actually checks. No weeks lost to a rejection.

Found a room somewhere else?

Send us the link — we can handle it

Most rental listings in Japan are shared between agencies. Paste any portal link and we check what it really costs to move in, whether it is still available, and whether the landlord accepts foreign tenants.

After you get the keys?

We set up the utilities and the paperwork

Electricity, gas, water and internet opened in your name before move-in day — the Japanese phone calls are ours. We also walk you through the city-hall address registration, and arrange furniture if you need it.

Questions we get every day

Before you send your details

Do I need a Japanese guarantor?

No. We look for properties that accept tenants without a personal guarantor, and any guarantor-company fee is shown in your move-in cost breakdown before you sign.

Can I rent before I arrive in Japan?

Yes. Video viewings, the contract explained in your language, screening completed remotely. Many tenants collect the keys the day they land.

What visa or status of residence do I need?

Student, work, spouse, permanent resident, business manager — we work with all of them and check each landlord's conditions before showing you a room.

How much do I need to pay to move in?

Typically deposit, key money, first month's rent, agency fee, guarantor fee and fire insurance. You get the exact all-in figure in writing for every room on your shortlist.

Can you help me buy instead of rent?

Yes — including loan introductions for foreign residents. Tell us in the inquiry form and a sales agent will contact you.
