I contacted 7 companies that help foreigners, 3 responded, 2 were skeptical about if what I was looking for existed. This company has been optimistic the while way through and helped me get an apartment in Shinjuku! I checked on reddit at first to see if it was too good to be true, but people were saying the AtHearth also really helped them. I am SUPER thankful that you guys exist!
Thank you so much for your review, Kevin. It was a pleasure working with you. If anything comes up while you're living in your new home, please do not hesitate to contact us. We wish you and your family all the best in your new life in Tokyo!

Quick and easy to follow experience with licensed professionals. I dont know why i waited around so long to choose them years ago.
Thanks you so much for working with us! We're glad to hear you had a positive experience. We hope to continue to support foreigners in Japan with their apartment hunting needs. Please don't hesitate to refer any friends or colleagues!
Thank you so much for your review and sorry for the delay in replying.We are glad to hear that this has been the best experience from your three previous times moving. For example, renting Tokyo apartments in Japan is very unique, and there are many unknown requirements such as deposit and key money, and we have heard that other agencies did not explain the breakdown of the initial cost.You are also right about real estate advertising. We will strive to continue to provide services that live up to the reviews.… – show
We are very sorry for the delay in responding to you. Thank you for your detailed feedback about our services. Foreigners living in Japan, especially those who do not speak Japanese, have a hard time not only finding an apartment for rent in Tokyo, but also setting up utilities, internet, and payment methods. As part of our services, we can make moving arrangements on your behalf, as well as make proxy arrangements for gas, electricity, and water. Thanks for supporting our services. Please contact us again anytime.… – show

Moving in Japan as a foreigner can be very difficult, but AtHearth helped to make the process as smooth as possible. Asami in particular went out of her way to make sure that everything was taken care of, both with our previous apartment and with our current apartment. She was very responsive and supportive with ad hoc issues that came up along the way. I would highly recommend AtHearth to anyone who is not fully familiar with the moving process in Japan.
Thank you, Alice! Finding apartments in Tokyo is very complicated, not only in terms of signing a contract for a new apartment, but also in terms of dealing with the apartment you are currently living in. We are glad that the excellent members of our company like Asami are here to support you.

If you are a foreigner looking to rent a place in Japan, save yourself some trouble and contact these guys. My agent Keisuke responded to my every inquiry quickly throughout the whole process so we managed to find a place despite my tight schedule. He explained everything in English, including all the contract, checked for foreigner-friendly properties, gave me some insider tips about the market, and remained responsive and helpful until the end. A true lifesaver for foreigners in Japan.
There are not many real estate agencies in Tokyo with English speakers, so voices like yours really encourage our business. We are happy to hear that you have moved in smoothly. Please let us know if you need any further assistance in finding your next apartment for rent in Tokyo.

We always wanted to have a dog and thanks to athearth, we were able to find a brand new apartment in a beautiful town, and best of all, the apartment is very dog-friendly from the building facilities to the apartment interiors.
Hi Carlo! Thank you for the feedback! The Tokyo rental market moves very fast, but you were very lucky for the timing and it was all thanks to your fast decision making too! Enjoy your wonderful life with your cute doggy!:)

Extremely kind and responsive team. Very quick to respond to feedback with regards to what your needs are. Whilst I didn't end up finding an apartment for me, the process was extremely smooth and Katsu, my agent, was more than willing to help with any questions I asked.
English-speaking and Japanese-speaking staff and a streamlined contract process make this agency extremely convenient for foreigners that are having issues with traditional real estate agencies.
Hi Kristian, this is Katsu. Thank you for your kind comment! We were very happy to support you. In the Japanese rental market, we are very aware of the unclear processes and the traditional way of doing things, so we do our best to mitigate it.
Please feel free to reach out to us again anytime. We are always happy to have you again!

I worked with Katsu and Tomo on finding a suitable short term apartment for my family in Yokohama -- a difficult task in the best of circumstances. The staff were fantastic, responsive, and genuinely cared. They got us over the finish line and now we're in a lovely place a short walk from my son's school! Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much, Melek san! We are very happy to have you and your lovely family members together at a wonderful house! Short term rental properties can be hard to find, but we're glad we were able to do it for you! Please let us know when you have any trouble or anything, we will be always there to support you

Edit: since I can't rate them twice, I'll have to add it on. They just helped me with a stressful mail situation months after. Most companies wouldn't offer to do this, but they are an absolute lifesaver!!
This company was a lifesaver during the a crucial time in my life. We were moving across japan with a dog to Tokyo in a pandemic. Moving is already scary and hard. I knew I could, but I *really* didn't want to do it alone.
I can't remember how I found AtHearth, but the process was awesome. We worked mostly with Josh, who was a great point of communication between us and the many parties involved. I would send them tons of listings and they would vet them all, eventually helping us secure the best place we've ever lived. If we ever had any issues or needed an update, all I had to do was send a quick email.
AtHearth is a small company with many clients, so to get the most of my experience, I found most the listings on my own (which is the fun part anyway) but they took care of all the other boring or difficult parts.
Even afterward, when I accidentally missed a bill I thought was junk, they helped me by calling the company and because of them I was able to find the original bill and get it paid. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a new place.… – show
Hi Shane. We hope you are well! We were so happy to help you find a property for rent in Tokyo. Moving in & out is often stressful, and we try to minimize the hassle for our customers.
We appreciate that you helped us find listings you would like to live and we managed to arrange a viewing and apply for the property for you.
We are glad to hear that you appreciate our service of processing paperwork for our clients and sending bills. Since living in Japan is often quite stressful, our mission is to cut down the stressful processes for our customers, and make it easier!… – show

AtHearth's platform was so much more convient for reviewing potential apartments, and their suggestions were much closer to what I was searching for compared to the competition! The team also goes the extra mile with support for house-related issues such as internet and utilities set up! Fully recommend if you value convenience! Thank you, Nozomi and Mizuki!
Thank you Yannick! We appreciate your honest feedback. We are very glad to have been able to find the apartment for rent that you were looking for!

AtHearth was amazingly quick and efficient, we had used another service before but AtHearth found apartments we really liked, and after visiting one (literally two days after getting the list!) we decided on it right away and moved in a month later. Everyone at AtHearth took great care of us and helped us take care of all the steps along the way. Will absolutely be using their services again next time I move!
Thank you, Harris! we appreciate your warm comment! We are very glad to hear we could be your support! We will continue this service thanks to you all, so please keep in touch with us! We await your request again, and of course, feel free to ask anything while you are living in your current rental apartment.

This company is really important and I wish them all the success in the world. Years and years of being denied by landlords, treated like an inferior, being offered the worst possible places at outrageous cost---trying to find an apartment in Japan really brings out the worst of racism here, an underlying attitude that's normally hidden from public view. You can be respectful, have a good job, have perhaps the best qualifications possible (I'm a graduate of UTokyo, for example), and still be denied for nothing but race. At Hearth is actively pushing back against that, and I can't thank them enough for it. Being denied over and over again can be a really humiliating experience. Not only did At Hearth streamline the process by filtering out options that were rigid in their stance on foreigners, they went above and beyond to expand the horizons of what's possible for a foreigner to attain here. Eventually, this society will change, and it's people and businesses like At Hearth that are facilitating that movement in the right direction.
My personal experience with them was great. My wife and I found a place we absolutely love. And to put it in context, we're both architects and really particular about what we want in a home. I wouldn't be surprised if we were some of the pickiest customers At Hearth has had to deal with, and they still delivered. As others mention, they also go well out of their way to help with the whole moving process, which can be daunting to say the least. Thank you Nozomi and the rest of At Hearth for your service. For foreigners trying to find housing here, these guys are a light in the tunnel.… – show
We are very sorry for the delay in responding to you. Thank you for your satisfaction with the performance of Nozomi. We are so glad to hear that. Our business is moving forward. There are numerous difficulties for foreigners who are look for apartments for rent in Tokyo. We at AtHearth will always be close to our customers' voices and will continue our service to provide the best housing for foreigners who cannot speak Japanese, for example. We wish you a wonderful life in Japan.

Apartment hunting with Nozomi and AtHearth was the best experience I've had. They are incredibly supportive and quick to respond, and much of the process can be done from home, which is super convenient without the hours of sitting in a cramped office. They even make you your own personal page of apartment listings and help you organize your options. (Really helpful for someone like me who wants to see a lot of places, but also gets stressed out.) I love how they also help you out throughout your lease at your new place. Nozomi in particular is just a great person too! Thank you so much, AtHearth!… – show

My husband and I recently moved from the US to Tokyo, and we could not have done it without Nozomi, Miwa, and Mizuki at AtHearth. The team was incredibly responsive and informative. Due to COVID, we wanted a home to settle into immediately after arriving in Japan--the AtHearth team held a video tour to help us make our decision from the US. Everything was new for us, from internet installation, signing up for utilities and mailing service, space for refrigerator, and many more, and the team helped resolve all--in English! If we wanted to move again within Tokyo, I would definitely come back to AtHearth for their amazing service.… – show
