HOW TO RENT AN APARTMENT IN TOKYO, JP 🇯🇵 advice, prices, and reality

Last year I made the big move from the inaka to Tokyo, and I'm here to tell you about it! So in this video I'll go over how to rent an apartment here in Tokyo along with some advice on how to go about it, prices, and the reality of foreigners renting in JP.

I try to go over various methods you could take to getting an apartment whether you speak Japanese or don't and what to do when you first arrive! It is definitely confusing and it won't really all make sense to you until you actually go through the process yourself 😂 In America, renting a place was much easier than in Japan but of course it's a completely different system here!

I do go over racism and discrimination in this video, so be warned. I didn't want to sugarcoat the reality of renting here. All foreigners are at a disadvantage when renting since there's no laws against discrimination, but as a white woman I have an advantage that is important to address! Although I cannot speak to the experience of other people renting here, it is definitely not impossible no matter what you may look like, so don't be too scared!

Please let me know if you have any questions down below in the comments! It can be really confusing and I probably missed some stuff 😩 I tried to include a lot of screenshots because I realize a lot of what I say won't make any sense to people who don't live here 😅

Please make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more content about Japan and my life here in the future 🥰 It really helps me out!!
