Welcome to Japan and welcome to the Relo Room Searching Service.
Relo will be your room searching agent.
It is commonly known that renting a room in Japan is very different compared to other
countries, making it difficult for foreigners to find suitable accommodation due to the difference in
culture and rules.
There are still very few rooms available for foreigners in the Japanese real-estate market, so few
people are living in rooms that they really like.
That is why many international students have trouble finding a suitable room and Relocation Japan, in
partnership with universities and realtors, is here to help in this search.
Fill out the "Enquiry" form below and we will introduce you to a
realtor near your university.
We offer support in English.
* Our service is only available for single tenancies. We are unable to support tenancies with two or more tenants.

Relocation Japan's service fee + unrefundable deposit
* When monthly rent is less than 30,000yen, the minimum unrefundable deposit is 600yen.
What is the unrefundable deposit?
This is a monthly amount that is put aside to help cover any of the restoration costs when you vacate your apartment.
The unrefundable deposit will be used to cover any costs including, and not limited to, unpaid rent,
restoraration costs upon moving out (including left behind property) and other shortages after moving
out.
In the event there is a surplus from the unrefundable deposit, it will not be refunded or returned to
the tenant. In addition, in the event the unrefundable deposit is not enough to cover the costs, the
remainder of the costs will be deducted from the deposit.
