Looking for 1-month rental in Tokyo (Apr 8 start) with a dog

Hi all,

I’m moving to Japan trying to find a temporary place to stay in Tokyo for about 1 month starting April 8, and honestly getting a bit frustrated so hoping someone here might have leads or contacts

About us:

• 2 adults + 1 dog (\~13kg)

• Dog is very well-behaved, quiet, fully house-trained, and used to apartment living (no chewing, no barking issues, etc.)

The issue:

I’ve been checking platforms like Dash Living, Hmlet, Atinn, etc. — and while they show tons of availability, almost none of the units are actually pet-friendly when I reach out. Been hitting a wall everywhere.

What we’re looking for:

• Budget: up to ¥700,000 total (all-inclusive) for \~1 month

• Size: ideally 40sqm+ (flexible but don’t want something too cramped)

• Location: relatively central, with easy subway access

• Commute: ideally <30 mins to areas like Shibuya / Shinjuku / central Tokyo

• Furnished

Would really appreciate:

• Any landlord contacts, agents, or smaller companies that are actually pet-friendly

• Specific buildings or listings you know allow dogs

• Even tips on where to search (Japanese platforms, FB groups, etc.)

Happy to provide more details or references if needed. Thanks so much in advance 🙇‍♂️
