Discover fully furnished, flexible, and family-friendly housing options with no guarantor needed. Learn why Nana House is a top choice for long-term stays.
A monthly apartment in Tokyo is a furnished rental property that can be rented for periods from 2 weeks to several months, without the need for a long-term lease.
These rentals usually include:
Beds and furniture
Kitchen and cookware
Washing machine
Wi-Fi
Utilities (water, gas, electricity)
They are popular with:
Foreign residents
Families relocating to Japan
Business travelers
Digital nomads
Medical visitors
Students
Most traditional apartments require a Japanese guarantor (連帯保証人). Without one, it can be difficult or impossible to sign a contract.
Typical long-term rentals require:
Deposit (敷金)
Key money (礼金)
Agent fee
First month’s rent
This can easily add up to 3–6 months of rent upfront.
Standard leases are often 1–2 years, which doesn’t suit travelers or temporary residents.
Contracts and communication are usually in Japanese, making it hard to fully understand your rights and responsibilities.
Fully furnished rentals remove most of these obstacles and allow you to move in immediately without complicated paperwork.
No guarantor needed (in most cases)
Flexible stay length
Utilities included
English-friendly communication
Ready-to-live space (no furniture shopping)
For families, this also means less stress — no need to buy kitchenware, beds, or household essentials.
