Tokyo's rental market is built around single-person living — more than half of all households in the city are one-person households, and 1R (studio) and 1K (studio + separate kitchen) layouts make up the bulk of available units near train lines.
Most landlords still expect a Japanese guarantor and upfront "key money," which can be confusing and costly for first-time foreign renters. Arealty works with landlords who waive key money and accept guarantor companies instead, so you can move in faster and with fewer surprises.
