1K Apartments in Tokyo
Discover foreigner-friendly house and apartment rentals
Over 70 furnished 1K places in Tokyo
Furnished 1K apartments for rent in Tokyo for foreigners. A 1K separates the kitchen behind a door, which makes a noticeable difference to cooking smells and sleep quality compared with a 1R. 70 furnished 1K units are live now with a median rent around ¥249,000, from ¥78,000 in the outer wards up to ¥397,300 near the central hubs.
The layout is a favourite of long-stay remote workers: the average unit here is around 25 m², enough for a proper desk setup, and stock concentrates in Shinjuku, Nakano and Setagaya, all wards with fast links into the city centre on the Chuo and Tozai lines.
Every 1K comes furnished with utilities included, and booking takes a passport and payment method only: no shikikin, reikin or guarantor.

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.
