Discover foreigner-friendly house and apartment rentals

Furnished 1K apartments for rent in Osaka for foreigners. 52 furnished 1K units are live now with a median rent around ¥142,500, from ¥56,800 to ¥346,200 for premium addresses. The closed kitchen makes this the practical choice for anyone planning to actually cook, and average floor area is around 23 m².
Nearly all stock is in Osaka city, keeping commutes short, and at these rents many remote workers choose Osaka deliberately: the same salary that affords a 1K in Tokyo affords a 1LDK here.
Every unit comes furnished with utilities included, and booking needs only a passport and payment method: no shikikin, reikin or guarantor.
Standard Japanese rentals typically charge shikikin (deposit), reikin (key money) and a guarantor-company fee on top of first month's rent — often several months' worth combined. JapanHeya charges none of them: you pay your first month's rent and move in.
Beds, desks, kitchenware, appliances and Wi-Fi come standard, and rent covers electricity, gas and water. Move in with a suitcase, not a moving truck.
Stay from one week up to 24 months. Weekly and monthly options make JapanHeya a fit for trips, relocations, remote-work seasons and family moves alike.
Renting through a conventional Japanese agency usually means the shinsa (screening) gauntlet with a Japanese guarantor. With JapanHeya, a passport and payment method are enough to book, and our team supports you in English before and during your stay.
