About the Book

Are you a foreigner planning to live in Japan and looking for an apartment? Look no further than our comprehensive guide to finding an apartment in Japan!
In "From Tatami to Tokyo: The Foreigner's Handbook Apartment Hunting in Japan," we take you through the ins and outs of the Japanese housing market.
Starting with a historical overview of landlords and apartments in Japan, you'll better understand the Japanese housing market's evolution and landlords' role in the rental market. From there, we'll explore why you need a realtor to find an apartment in Japan. You'll learn about the benefits of using a realtor, including their expertise in the housing market, ability to negotiate with landlords, and knowledge of the local area. We'll also cover the potential pitfalls of renting an apartment without a realtor's help.
Next, we'll dive into the nitty-gritty of the apartment search process. We'll explain why the apartment search can take a long time, including the high demand for rental properties, the competition among renters, and the strict rental requirements. You'll learn the importance of patience and persistence when searching for an apartment in Japan. We'll also provide tips on what to look for regarding apartment size and features, including the importance of location, accessibility, and safety.
Of course, we know that financial considerations are a top priority when renting an apartment. That's why we'll cover the economic costs of renting an apartment in Japan, including the rent, the deposit, and the maintenance fees. We'll also discuss the importance of understanding the rental contract and potential hidden costs.
One of the most challenging aspects of renting an apartment in Japan is finding a guarantor. This guide will explore the different types of guarantors available in Japan, including family members, friends, and guarantor companies. You'll learn about the pros and cons of each option and how to find a guarantor that works for you.
We'll also cover the unique aspect of NHK officials visiting your apartment to check if you have a television or other equipment to receive NHK broadcasts. You'll learn the reasons behind the NHK fee, the role of NHK officials, and what to expect during an NHK visit.
Lastly, we'll cover cultural aspects to know before you arrive in Japan, including etiquette, customs, and traditions. We'll help you navigate the cultural differences you may encounter when renting an apartment in Japan.
And once you've found your perfect apartment, we'll help you with the final step: using a moving company. You'll learn the benefits of using a moving company, what to look for when choosing one, and how to prepare for your move.
Overall, "From Tatami to Tokyo: The Foreigner's Handbook Apartment Hunting in Japan" is your one-stop shop for apartment-hunting in Japan. With our comprehensive guide, you'll have all the information you need to find the perfect apartment for your needs and make the most of your time in Japan.
