Japan had a
record-breaking 24 million foreign tourists visiting Japan last year. This can
be attributed to the easing of visa regulations for foreign nationals, weak
yen, and most of all, strong interest in Japanese culture, thanks to the
upcoming Tokyo Olympics of 2020. But not only have we had more foreigners visit
Japan for short-term stays ( tourism or business trip ), but also had increasing
number of people staying long-term ( study or work related ).
Japan has
been known by the outside community to be traditionally xenophobic. But this is
gradually changing, thanks to the influx of foreign national. People are
gradually learning foreign languages to cater to the non-Japanese community, as
business chances are increasing. Even landlords are becoming more open-minded
about renting their rooms to foreign nationals, as demand is increasing. And
you may wonder how hard it is to rent a room in Japan. Here are some questions
people ask us regarding renting a room; Will I need to learn the language, or
are there real estate agents that can speak English or other languages? What
will I need to do until I move into my dream apartment? How much will it cost
altogether?
Well, we'll
keep you informed with the all the necessary information and the latest trends.
