Corporate Housing for Employee Relocation to Tokyo

Corporate housing in Tokyo is a furnished apartment rented by the month, set up so an employee can arrive in the city and start working the same day. Renting a normal apartment in Tokyo is slower and more expensive to start. The move-in bill alone can top JPY 1,000,000 on a mid-range place, and the lease usually locks you in for 2 years. Most landlords also require a Japanese guarantor. There's also key money (reikin), a non-refundable payment to the landlord that adds 1 to 2 months' rent to the upfront cost, in addition to the security deposit and agency fees. For someone arriving from abroad, it gets harder still, since listings and landlords typically work only in Japanese, and many won't rent to a foreign tenant. Unlike a traditional rental, corporate housing folds utilities and high-speed internet into one monthly cost, and most buildings throw in amenities you'd actually use on a longer stay, like a gym or a lounge. Best for: - Temporary assignment housing for staff on a fixed contract or rotation - Relocating employees who need a home base before they commit to a lease - International hires arriving without a guarantor or local credit history - Project teams that need several units near the same site

Why Companies Choose Corporate Housing in Tokyo Instead of Hotels

A business hotel is fine for a few nights, but stretch it past two or three weeks, and a room you can cross in three steps has to double as your office. There's only so long you can take calls from the edge of the bed.

Best Tokyo Areas for Business Travelers

On a work trip, the right base is the one closest to your meetings and the transportation you'll use. These five areas across Tokyo keep that commute short, each with its own distinct feel.

Ebisu

Popular with people in tech, startups, and creative industries. Located in Shibuya Ward, Ebisu offers quick access to Shibuya, Roppongi, and central Tokyo business districts while maintaining a more residential and upscale atmosphere. One stop from Shibuya on the Yamanote Line and directly connected via the Hibiya Line.

Why Tokyo Stands Out

Tokyo blends efficiency, safety, and culture in a way few global cities do. World-class transit, walkable neighborhoods, and strong business infrastructure make daily life straightforward for business professionals on assignment, on a short project, or on a longer relocation.

FAQs

Yes, a furnished corporate apartment in Tokyo lets an employee arrive in the city and move in the same day. It also sidesteps what usually complicates a Tokyo relocation, since corporate housing comes without the guarantor, the key money, or the 2-year lease a standard rental requires. The company books dates that match the assignment, and the employee can begin working on day one.

Yes, and it's a common arrangement. A single booking might cover one executive or several units for a team working the same site. Since terms can be aligned to your assignment timeline, you can easily extend your stay if project requirements change.

Corporate housing includes a furnished apartment, stocked kitchen, in-unit laundry, and dedicated workspace. Internet access is available, with specifics varying by property. Building amenities vary, but often include a gym or a lounge. It's move-in ready, so there's nothing to buy or set up.

In most cases, the day after booking! The apartment is furnished, the utilities are on, and the internet is live, so there's nothing to arrange before day one, which counts for a lot when someone lands Sunday night for a Monday morning kickoff. (And that's how many Tokyo assignments start!)

A standard Tokyo lease requires a 2-year commitment, a guarantor, and 3 to 5 months of rent upfront, covering the deposit, key money, agency fee, and advance rent. For a stay measured in months, that's a lot of cash for an apartment you'll leave before the term ends. Corporate housing in Tokyo is billed monthly, with none of these costs upfront.

It mostly comes down to where you'll be working. Pick an area near the train lines that gets you to your meetings. Nihonbashi works if that's around Tokyo Station and the finance district, while Ebisu fits better if you're closer to the tech scene. Then book for as long as the assignment lasts (not a full year), and check that the apartment has a real workspace for calls and focused work. If you're sending an entire project team, staying near the site usually matters more than the address.
