In Japan, rental apartments that allow pets are limited due to building regulations and the landlord’s policies. If you are searching with pets, please make sure to check in advance whether the property allows pet ownership.
This section features furnished apartments with appliances available for short-term contracts, ideal for those on long business assignments or visitors coming to Japan with pets.
Pet-friendly apartments generally allow dogs and cats, but the type, size, and number of pets permitted vary depending on the property.
Examples: “Up to 1 small dog,” “Up to 2 small dogs under 10kg,” “Up to 2 cats.” Some properties also allow assistance animals such as guide dogs or hearing dogs.
Please note that renting an apartment with pets may involve additional deposits or other rental conditions. If the property is damaged by pets, tenants are responsible for restoration costs upon moving out.
*Regarding fees and rental conditions: Estimates will be provided directly by each agency. Final rental fees may vary depending on the contract period and terms. For details, please feel free to contact us.
Dogs: Generally, only small dogs are permitted. Large dogs are usually not accepted. Cats: Most breeds are allowed. Other animals: Small pets may be allowed if approved by the landlord, as long as they are not considered dangerous.
This varies by property, but in most cases, the limit is one pet or up to two pets.
