Your Japan Sidekick
We'll handle your apartment, paperwork, and setup. You enjoy Japan.
New country. Fun.
The setup. Not really...
- We are not just a property database. We listen and understand your personal needs before going out to find your perfect home.
- We spend time to be present every step: accompanying you in person to city hall and the bank, and helping you set up your apartment utilities and phone plan.
- We offer personalized furniture packages so you walk into a home that's ready for you.
- We help you belong in Nagoya by showing you the neighborhoods, the local spots, and the communities you will become a part of.
Make Nagoya your home too
and join our community
Founded right here in Nagoya by a graduate who studied here, we've built real connections across the city and work closely with local schools. It's one of Japan's biggest cities with far more to enjoy than people expect. We want you to feel part of it, not just a visitor passing through, so we share our favorite spots and local tips in guides we update regularly.
Osu
A maze of covered arcades, vintage shops, and street food.
Here's how it works.
We find the right place for you.
- We learn who you are and what's best for you (location, budget, must-haves...)
- We partner with foreigner-friendly agencies and landlords
- We translate your lease agreement and stay with you through signing
We find the right place for you.
Agencies that won't deal with international tenants. Lease documents in Japanese. A guarantor system nobody explains. We know how it works, so let us take care of it.

Your arrival is about exploring Japan, not about stressing over paperwork.
At first, the Japanese paperwork you're required to fill out can seem a bit overwhelming; that's why we accompany you in person to get everything filled out. By coming with you, we make sure everything is handled quickly and efficiently so you can focus on what matters.
- •City Hall registration (national health insurance and move in notification), My Number card, pension exemption, and certificate of residence
- •Inkan and bank account setup
- •Phone plan and apartment utilities
Move into a home, not just an apartment
That's why we put together personalized furniture rental packages: you move in ready from day one and just hand everything back when you're done. No big upfront cost, and no rushing to sell or dispose of it. Japan makes it expensive to throw out large items, and getting someone from Facebook Marketplace to show up is always a gamble, so we take that whole part off your plate.
- •Appliances, bedroom, and full setup plans available
- •Delivery and installation as well as pickup at move-out
