1R Apartments in Osaka
Discover foreigner-friendly house and apartment rentals
Over 58 furnished 1R places in Osaka
Furnished 1R apartments for rent in Osaka for foreigners. Osaka is the most affordable major city in the JapanHeya network, and the 1R numbers show it: 58 furnished units live now with a median rent around ¥65,000, and the full range still tops out below ¥177,000. Tokyo equivalents rent for roughly double.
Most stock sits in Osaka city itself, within the Midosuji line loop, so a 1R here usually means a fifteen-minute subway ride to Umeda or Namba rather than a long suburban commute. Average floor area is around 17 m², compact but fully equipped.
Rents include utilities, furniture and Wi-Fi, with no deposit, key money or guarantor at booking.

No key money, no deposit, no 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.
Fully furnished, utilities included
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.
Flexible lease lengths
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.
Built for foreigners
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.
