Housing in Tokyo

We track every public rental we can find in Tokyo from 2,000+ housing sites. Listing volume fluctuates daily and peaks in late summer and January when most leases turn over.

Rental prices in Tokyo vary widely depending on the neighbourhood, room type, and whether utilities are included. Socials shows the full asking price and a budget filter so you only see listings in your range.

Socials members in Tokyo typically see their first batch of matches within minutes of signing up. The majority of users book a room within three to four weeks. It is faster in lower demand months and slower during the August and February rushes when every japanese city gets an intake wave.

Rental requirements vary by landlord in Tokyo. Most ask for proof of enrolment, one or two months' deposit, and a recent income source or guarantor. International people without local income are usually asked for a guarantor or a few months' rent up front. Every Socials listing shows the landlord's requirements before you apply.

Every listing comes from a public housing platform we scan in real time, with no anonymous sellers. We filter out obvious scam patterns automatically (duplicate photos, unrealistic prices, payment before viewing requests) and surface the remaining listings with full landlord details so you can verify before applying.
