Upgrade Your Life in Japan with Furniture Leasing
Opening a new chapter in life by moving to another country is an exhilarating experience. Yet it can be stressful as well, particularly for island nations like Japan where transporting furniture from abroad is expensive troublesome. Foreigners quickly find themselves in a “Furniture Dilemma” of weighing the options of renting and buying.
Buying new furniture imposes the burden of getting rid of it when you leave. Add that to the already-high upfront costs of renting an apartment in Japan and you find an extra burden you really don’t need.
A lot of cash-flow-conscious renters make use of second hand furniture shops or community platforms, and while these options are certainly a good way to save money, buyers have to find some way to get the items home. Moreover, there is no warranty in case things get broken, and in the end you still have to find a way to dispose of these bulky items. The availability of high-quality furniture is also limited, meaning it might take a long time after moving to fine and purchase the items you need. It’s a lot of work, but there is a third option we can consider.
Furniture leases are a great way to balance quality, price, and convenience as you work to elevate your life in Tokyo.

I only need a small apartment – is it still worth leasing furniture instead of buying?
Absolutely! There is a wide range of high-quality and stylish rental furniture options for all apartment sizes and budgets!
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on size of the apartment and grade of the furniture. You also have the option to rent used furniture, which considerably lowers the price.
Renting furniture for a 1-room apartment with standard furniture and appliances starts from as low as 20,000 yen per month!
I’m looking for something a bit more luxurious!
No problem! Furniture lease packages can be customized to your needs – so you can still treat yourself to that king-sized bed or designer sofa, even if you only plan to be in Japan for a couple of years.
