Key Things to Know Before Living in Japan
Most rental apartments in Japan require a 2-year lease and a long-term visa.
If you don’t have a visa or are planning a short-term stay, we recommend our flexible short-term apartments as an alternative.

What Are Short-Term Monthly Apartments?
These apartments are designed for short-term stays, with flexible rental periods starting from as little as one month. They offer the same level of comfort as a standard rental apartment and come fully furnished with everything you need for daily living, so you can move in and start your life right away. No complicated contract procedures are required, allowing for a quick and smooth move-in process. We also offer flexibility during your stay, including options to extend your rental period.
Comparison
Standard Rentals vs. Short-Term Monthly Apartments
With short-term monthly apartments, there are no upfront costs such as deposits, key money, or agent fees. There’s also no need to purchase furniture or appliances, or set up utilities like electricity, gas, water, or internet. Since all costs are included in the rent, you can stay for only as long as you need—keeping your overall expenses to a minimum.
