Some Happy Words From Our Clients

From start to finish, Apts.jp have gone above and beyond the call. Just before I moved in, they went through the apartment with a fine-tooth comb and took note of every scuff and every scratch so when the handover time eventually comes, we can compare the condition with those photographs. Apts.jp made sure I had a very smooth transition moving in, and I’m really glad I decided to use their service.

I would like to thank you for all services you provided for my family and me starting from the 1st day in Japan when you arrange a comfortable car to pick us from airport with our luggage to temporary apartment which you reserved for us , which was a nice apartment and everything was around us such as train and bus Stations, shops , restraints, etc.
After that we moved the permanent house which my family are very happy for finding this new existing house which you recommend for us after you are showing us a lot of good chooses.
And as in that time it was very difficult for us to be familiarize with Japanese culture but with your help and guide in the begging to discover Tokyo to find and buy all necessary staff for our new house we become now as Japanese citizen.
We thank our gad (Allah) that we know and meet with you before coming to Japan, you make our life here very easy and comfortable.
Thank you again and still we need your help.

I am very satisfied with the agency's services and I could recommend it to anyone looking for a flat in Tokyo.
Yujin answered each of my questions, both about documents and everyday life. He was always polite and ready to help.
The apartment meets my expectations, and the formalities associated with the move thanks to Yujin were clear and I didn't have any problems with them.

The other agencies would take weeks to give me an answer and kept asking me for more documents, more documents. When I went to Apts.jp I had ALL the paperwork they could possibly ask me for and I got the apartment after about a week.
I could give lots of advice but in the end, if an agency refuses you just because you’re a foreigner there’s nothing you can do about it. Right now my advice to everyone who asks me how to find an apartment is to use Apts.jp.

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.
