Touring Foreigner-Friendly Apartments in Tokyo | Tips for Renting in Japan | Weave Living

*UPDATE* We received questions asking which company we personally rented from when we first moved. We made a tour video about it here:    • Tour of our first Tokyo Apartment! | Hmlet...   (If you want a discount code, feel free to message us on instagram @itsjeffandmel)

Hey everyone! Can you believe it's been a year since we moved to Tokyo?! With this milestone, we wanted to make an informative video about renting in Japan. We thought it would be fun to compare some apartments in Tokyo, and share a bit of our experience with different types of leases available here. Hopefully it'll be useful for those of you who are are planning to move to Tokyo, or just curious about the rental process!

We partnered with Weave Living for this video, and they gave us access to film their units. You can find out more about them here: https://bit.ly/WeavePlaceYTJM
