Rental Appliance Requires Emergency Contact/Guarantor 🤕

Trying to do furniture/appliance rental in Kyoto, but the company I want to use requires a secondary phone number and email of someone in Japan.
My school and UniLife representative have said they can’t be guarantors for me, nor the guarantor company used for my apartment, also through UniLife, so I’m at a loss… HOWWW do foreigners get anything done around here without close native friends or without paying several different companies to each do different things for them? So frustrating 😭 it’s like, I swear I can pay and handle it dude, just take my word for it

Has anyone else used Kasite for appliance rental and have any advice?
