Affitti tipici

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. (fonte, 2023)

Deposito

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. (fonte, 2026)

Affittare da straniero

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. (fonte, 2026)

Regole per gli affitti brevi

• 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. (fonte, 2026)
