Renting in Japan:
Traditional Challenges vs. OKINI Solutions
Why do international students often have to stay in hotels when they first arrive? Because traditional renting is slow and restrictive. OKINI Student is tailored specifically to solve these problems from signing to moving in:
Traditional Challenges
OKINI Solutions
Language Barrier
Local landlords often hesitate to rent to foreigners who don’t speak Japanese.
Multilingual Support
We communicate with property management on your behalf.
High Upfront Costs
Standard rentals require 1-2 months of “Key Money/Deposit” plus agency and guarantor fees.
Zero Extra Fees
Our “No Key Money/Deposit” policy significantly lowers your initial financial burden.
Unfurnished Apartments
Standard apartments are completely bare, forcing you to spend time and money on furniture.
Fully Furnished
OKINI apartments come with full furniture and appliances so you can rest easy from day one.
Guarantor System
Renting in Japan usually requires a local guarantor or guarantee company.
No Complex Procedures
We simplify the approval process so you don’t have to deal with complicated paperwork.
