Typische Mieten

The 2023 Housing and Land Survey found rented homes averaged ¥59,656 a month nationwide (up 7.1% on 2018); private non-wooden rentals averaged ¥68,548 and private wooden ones ¥54,409. Big-city rents are higher. (Quelle, 2023)

Kaution

Expect to pay several items up front when signing: a security deposit, key money (a non-refundable payment to the landlord), an agency fee, damage insurance, the first rent and a common-service fee. Amounts vary by property, so ask before applying. (Quelle, 2026)

Mieten als Ausländer

Landlords commonly ask for a personal guarantor or for the tenant to use a rental guarantee company. The government lists rentals that accept foreign tenants through its safety-net housing search. (Quelle, 2026)

Adresse anmelden

Foreign mid- to long-term residents are entered in the Basic Resident Registration and must file a move-in notification with their new municipal office when they move (and a move-out notification with the old one). (Quelle, 2026-10)

Regeln für Kurzzeitmieten

• Japan (minpaku): Homes registered under the 2017 Private Lodging Business Act may host paying guests for up to 180 days a year; operating beyond that needs a hotel/inn licence or a special-zone permit. Local ordinances can restrict days further. (Quelle, 2026)
