Some Happy Words From Our Clients
Sandeep Subramanian
I was recommended Apts.jp by my company and I am so glad for that recommendation.
The service from Apts.jp was phenomenal. I am an Indian and couldn't speak Japanese at all, still the search for an apartment in Tokyo was
made effortless thanks to the amazing work by Jason Asato from Apts.jp. The houses recommended to me were in line with my requirements
and I was taken to visit those houses by Jason personally, at my convenience, working around my tight work schedule. I was even taken to visit
apartments late after work, early mornings, my lunch breaks and whenever I was free. Jason worked odd hours and tirelessly to ensure that I
got what I wanted. Thanks to him I got a prefect place, literally five minutes from my work at an incredible deal. They ensured that I was able to move
in to my place in less that a week after I visit and before the temporary accommodation offered by my company came to an end.
I am more than delighted by my experience with Apts.jp and would gladly recommend them to anyone who is apartment hunting in Tokyo.

If I had to summarize in brief why apts.jp team was great, it would be: I felt they actually cared!
Even before the apartment search itself, we exchanged over 10 emails, they responded to every question I had, and I could feel they really knew how to prepare for the process. Once we started, I was very happy to see that they quickly felt my apartment preferences, and all viewings were worth it. And it all culminated in a great apartment that they added last moment because they cared enough to check latest ads just before meeting me. Needless to say, I am thrilled in knowing they will not disappear after handing over the keys, too!

I highly recommend Apts.jp to any ex-pat looking to rent a property in Tokyo. As a non-Japanese speaker, renting in Japan is an intimidating, frustrating and confusing experience. My agent Jason handled everything. He was very quick to introduce good properties in my range and he really understood what I was looking for. He was always easy to contact and quick to answer my questions, he made the entire process pretty effortless! I’m very busy with my work so this was exactly the service I needed. What impressed me the most was his efforts to help me transition from my previous apartment. He handled the handover, all of my utilities and helped with internet connection etc. We’ve also kept in touch since I moved in to answer my stupid questions! I couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough.
