Tokyo monthly apartments: a foreigner's overview
Monthly mansion is what the Japanese property market calls the building. Midterm guest is what you actually are. The two words point at the same 30-night minimum from opposite ends, and the gap between them is where most foreign bookings go wrong.

Start with 30 days, not 90, on your first Tokyo stay
Operators quote a cheaper per-night rate at 60 or 90 nights and the math looks like a free win. It isn't. On a first Tokyo stay, the bigger risk is committing to a unit, ward, or rhythm you'd want to change after week three, and the renewal-in-place option is almost always there.

When monthly furnished beats Airbnb in Tokyo
At 21 days, the Airbnb price beats the monthly. At 30, the monthly wins by an enormous margin. The interesting band is in between, and the answer turns on a setting in someone else's pricing engine.

Renting in Tokyo as a foreigner without a 2-year lease
The relocation forums describe a world of guarantor companies, key money, and 2-year contracts. For a 90-day furnished stay almost none of that applies, and the few real frictions are different ones. A walk through what actually happens between inquiry and keys.

Your monthly rate covers rent, furniture, Wi-Fi, utilities, bi-weekly cleaning, and access to our concierge team. There are no hidden fees — the price listed is exactly what you pay.

What kind of support do I get? +
Our concierge team is available 24/7 on WhatsApp, LINE, or email. We help with restaurant bookings, translating mail, planning trips, coordinating repairs, and anything else you need — all in English.
What happens on move-in day? +
We meet you at the door, hand over the keys, and walk you through your new home. You'll also receive a welcome pack with a neighbourhood guide, transport tips, and everything you need to get settled.
How is HalfKey different from other serviced apartments? +
Most serviced apartment providers operate at scale, so support can feel impersonal. At HalfKey, we're a small team that gets to know each tenant personally.
Beyond a fully furnished home, your stay includes utilities, Wi-Fi, two professional cleanings per month, and LINE/WhatsApp support. We can also help with restaurant bookings, translation, travel planning, and coordinating home services during your stay.
We also keep move-in costs simple: no key money, no guarantor, and no brokerage fee. Any one-time fees, such as move-out cleaning or restocking, are shown clearly before you book.
