Hi everyone!
In a months time I am moving to Japan with one other for a year on the working holiday visa. We plan on staying in Tokyo for the first half of the year and are currently looking for anything with 2 rooms.
After a few weeks of searching online it seems like there aren't many available 2 room apartments, and any inquiries/requests we have sent have just gone into the abyss. Our main concern is that it feels like there are so many factors in the rental process (ie. being foreign, initial costs, guarantor, furnishing etc.) and not anywhere near enough information to understand it. We want to prepare but it feels like there is not much we can do from home apart from mindlessly scrolling ambiguous agency sites.
Does it make more sense to search when we get there? How do we go about that, do we try an agency, still use the online sites or are there any other options?
