1R Apartments in Tokyo
Discover foreigner-friendly house and apartment rentals
Over 79 furnished 1R places in Tokyo
Furnished 1R apartments for rent in Tokyo for foreigners. The 1R (one room) layout is the most compact and most affordable format in the JapanHeya Tokyo inventory: 79 are live right now, with a median rent around ¥134,000 and real options from ¥57,000. Everything is one open space, with a kitchenette along the wall and a unit bath.
Smaller does not mean peripheral. Tokyo 1R stock clusters in Setagaya, Shinjuku and Sumida, so you trade square metres for a short commute, and the average floor area here is around 18 m², enough for a bed, desk and wardrobe when travelling light.
As with every JapanHeya listing, 1R rents include utilities, furniture and Wi-Fi, with no deposit, key money or guarantor company 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.
