What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Japan?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Japan is like. They answered...
"I lived in a Mansion ( high rise) 10 yrs ago off base. I had a agent find me a place. Its best to have a Japanese represent you to landlords. They will speak for you & if any problems ,can represent you," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kanagawa Perfecture, Japan.
"Typically in flats, houses are rather expensive an full of many small rooms, which for my taste is unpractical," commented one expat who made the move to Tokyo, Japan.
