Furnished Apartments Gaining Popularity in Tokyo
Fully furnished rental properties are becoming increasingly popular in Tokyo, particularly among foreigners and young people. These apartments offer convenience and flexibility, with no need for security deposits or key money.
One such example is a rental apartment in Azabu-Juban, offering stunning views of the Tokyo Tower and essential appliances. Residents can move in for as short as one month, with monthly rent ranging from 260,000 yen to 650,000 yen.

Panasonic's Noiful service allows residents to rent homes equipped with appliances, reducing the need for appliance purchases and replacements. This service also offers furniture rental packages.
