Why is it so hard to find an apartment as an expat?


Only 4% are available
for foreign expats

Tiredness-amico

-The housing portals in Japan include 92% of unavailable, phishing property information.

-A half of 8% of listings are only for Japanese-speaking people


Intransparent experiences
with local agents offline

Audit-amico



-Agents ask for mandatory trips to their company office offline.

-Unclear details about the initial cost before signing the contract, all written in Japanese

-You sometimes experience an unknown charge.


No support after moving in

Anxiety-rafiki


-Agent's job is only to find a property for you. Since they do not assist after move-in, you need to directly communicate with Japanese-speaking owners/administration companies. 

-Have to set up everything from utilities to the internet alone

AtHearth helps you with everything

Active Support-amico
-We assist you to find English-speaking moving companies, setting up the utilities, the internet, and even furniture rentals.

-Our agency fee is only 1 month of the rent, including the online support for move-in, during, and even move-out. 

Why are only 4% of the listings available on the portal site?
Unbelievable reality in Tokyo.

Most of our customers kindly send URLs of other portal sites because they can't always visit the rooms.
Surprisingly, 91% of them are not available.

Why does such an inconvenient case take a place?
Let's learn together and don't waste your time on the local problem in the Japanese housing industry.

What to expect after receiving listings

Forms-amico
1. Next: Share your criteria

In order to get the best match and speed up the process, we recommend submitting a criteria form or having 30-minute chat with one of our agents.

During this time, we'll ask about your requirements for your home (such as area, train line, size, and budget), and answer any questions you have about the process.

2. Receive recommended listings 

Based on your requirements, we'll curate a list of matching properties from our Extensive Property Database.

Only shortlist foreigner-friendly, up-to-date listings. Our specialized license allows us exclusive access to new listings, which our agents will curate for you into a list of best-match properties.

3. Viewings to apply

We've replaced traditional, laborious, and confusing paper-based processes with an efficient online application.

Before you sign, we'll go through the contract with you in English to ensure you are comfortable with all the fees and terms.

4. Move in

When it's time to move into your new home, we'll help you connect utilities and internet service, as well as arrange furniture rentals (if required).

Throughout your lease, we're here to support you with all matters related to your home. 

Why cheaper & faster?

We are an online-based agency / Prop-tech startup.
Using our developed AI curating product & private portal site,

We offer 100% screened listings to fit your needs and we can spend more time supporting the customers that we care about.
As a result, we don't need to spend so much time making phone calls, rent the offline office and surprise you with the extra cost to cover our expense fee for free viewing.

Normal Agencies spend so much time negotiating with each owner's agents/owners to get approval for introducing the expats and they can't possibly support the customers after move-in based on their current business model offline. (Some of them might even think it's fair to charge you for human resource cost for viewing.)
