Items to bring for your room hunting!
Hi every one!
It seems the time for spring is now beginning,
and now it is the highest season for room hunt in Japan.
Today I would like to introduce you three items to bring for your room hunt in Japan.
In Japan, when you are looking for the apartment,
we, the realtors take you to the apartment you are interested in.
While you are viewing, these 3 items will help your room hunt!
①A pair of slippers
The apartment you will go for viewing are all vacant,
and has nothing in side.
Sometimes the floors are dirty or cold, so a pair of slippers will save your foot !!
②A measuring tape
There will be not so many chances to see inside before you move in,
so when you like the apartment, better measure each part of the room.
That way you can choose or put your furniture in to the flat easily!
③A camera
We easily forget what we saw, so taking photos of flats
will help reminding you of each room and getting ready for moving in!
In addition to these items, do not forget to choose the RIGHT realtor
to be with you to find a RIGHT apartment for you.
We are sure we can be!! 🙂
Enjoy your room hunt!
Call us directly freely 🙂

How do we know which is apart and mansion??
Hi!
Thank you for visiting our HP again!!
Do you know how to figure out which it apart or mansion?
You might not be even familiar with the words apart and mansion.
These words are Japanese English we use for two different types of buildings!
What is ”Apart” then?
We use “Apart” for wooden house with 1 or 2 floors.
What is “Mansion”?

And we use the word “Mansion” for the building of steel frame construction,
reinforced concrete frame construction, and steel framed reinforced construction
with more than 3 floors.
Generally, the rent fee for Mansion type is higher than that for Apart,
because the cost for construction is also higher!
Not only that, you need to be careful about sound insulation.
If you care about noise you have from your neighbor, it is better to choose Mansion!
You will have more quiet time there.
There are many kinds of apartment here in Japan, ask us freely for more information!

What to be careful about earthquake resistant standard?
Japan’s building standard law is amended in the year 1981,
and now we have new earthquake resistant standard.
When you are looking for the apartment with new earthquake resistance standard, you should not simply judge it only with the building age though.
Having been constructed after 1981
does not mean that the building is based on new standard.
The new standard started to apply for the building which got confirmation of building
after June 1981.
(In Japan, the procedure of construction begin only after this confirmation).
Generally speaking it takes about 1 to 1.5 year for construction of the building,
so even if it got confirmation after June of 1981, it might have completed
in 1982 or 1983.
That way, it might be safer to say that the buildings constructed after 1983 are based
on new standard earthquake resistance!
Be careful, not to judge its strength (new or old standard) by its construction year!

Enjoy authentic Japanese culture with AIRBNB!
Hi!
Thank you for checking out our blog!
Today, I would like to introduce you our new project!
We, as a real estate broker, basically deal with regular leasing and buying, but this is a project that has to do with Airbnb!



We are currently working on an old rental house in Meguro for a short-term leasing.
It is usually difficult to rent out an old Japanese house to Japanese customers, because everyone thinks newer is better when it comes to a house.
The landlord of this house was having hard time finding a new tenant, so we decided to put some furniture inside and rent it out to foreign customers, especially to foreign tourists, to experience and enjoy authentic Japanese culture.
Instead of staying at a fancy hotel, which you can do it anytime anywhere in the world, we wanted you guys to feel the traditional part of Japan!

This house had been used for a long time, but it was in a very good condition!
There are 4 beddings (2 futons, 1 semi-double bed, and 1 couch), and up to 5 people can stay at this house. You can use a bus to Shibuya station because there is a bus stop nearby (the direct bus to Shibuya station).
The price will vary depending on the season, but you can ask us for further details!
I promise you have a great time at this authentic Japanese house!
You won’t regret it 🙂

Which is better to buy? An apartment or a house?
The quick answer is ….
If you want the spacious one floor residence, you should get an apartment.

If you want to make income gain or real PROPERTY it self, you should get a house.

For a house, you do not need to run around in the house for your laundry or anything going down and up the stairs.
It must be safer for a little child as well with less chance to get injured.
On the other hand, the houses do not have maintenance fee, management fee or even parking space fee. (Most houses have parking space)
This means monthly payment for houses is much lower than that for apartments.
Here is an example for you!
In case you put
10million deposit and the left with bank loan.
For the house priced 60million JPY…
Purchasing cos : 4.2milion JPY
Deposit : 10million
Bank loan : 54.2million JPY (35years loan with 0.775% interest rate)
Monthly cost will be 147,381 JPY
For the apartment priced 40million JPY…
Purchasing cost : 2.8milion JPY
Deposit : 10million
Bank loan : 32.8million JPY (35years loan with 0.775% interest rate)
Monthly cost will be 89,190 JPY + maintenance fee and management fee 25,000JPY(depends on each apartment) + parking space 30,000JPY (depends on each apartment)= 144,190 JPY
Therefore, especially if you need parking space,
the monthly cost for 60million JPY house and 40million JPY apartment
are almost same.
Taking all these into your consideration, which plan do you prefer??
O course the final answer is all up to you,
but we are here to help you considering all about real estate in a right way!!
Ask us freely for further information,
the personal consultant will follow up your purchasing or everything about real estate!
