When looking for somewhere to stay during your visit in Japan, what fits best will depend on the length of your trip. If your stay in Japan is going to be a month long, then a monthly apartment rental would probably fit you best. Of course since a monthly apartment in Japan probably has a different definition than anywhere else you’re used to, you will want to gain a keen understanding of what the benefits of renting a Tokyo serviced monthly apartment are.

All of the benefits involved in renting a monthly apartment in Japan surround around money. You will save a lot of money by renting a monthly apartment as opposed to choosing to stay in a hotel for a month. Hotels can get to be quite pricey. It is definitely not worth paying the price of a hotel if you are going to be staying in Japan for more than a month.

Also, when you rent a monthly apartment there are certain fees you don’t have to worry about. There is no deposit required to move in. There is also no key money required. Aside from that, there is no guarantor required. So, although the rent may be a little bit higher; you will ultimately be saving money.

As you can see, the benefits of renting a monthly apartment will save you money. So, if you would like more money to spend on your trip instead of blowing it all on your housing; be sure to check out monthly apartment rentals in Japan. You will feel at home in your apartment and you will have more money in your pocket by choosing to rent a monthly apartment. With those benefits alone, it should be no question as to whether or not renting a monthly apartment in Japan would be the best option for you.

If you are considering moving to Japan permanently, visiting for a short while, or already live here but are thinking about relocating within Japan, I highly recommend you contemplate renting a Yokohama guesthouse.

Below are the top three reasons why I recommend renting a Yokohama guesthouse:

1.     Location

Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city, is located on the beautiful East coast of Japan, just an hour south of Tokyo by regular train and only thirty minutes by high speed train.  Due to Japan’s highly efficient public transportation, traveling between major cities is no problem at all!

2.     Affordability

Tokyo was recently listed as the number one most expensive city in the world to live in.  Taking this into account, Yokohama can act as a more convenient, affordable option to live or stay in Japan while still being able to experience the high quality standards that the Japanese live by.

3.     Fun!

Although not as big as Tokyo, there are still many sights to see and things to do in Yokohama.  For example, the Hakkejima Sea Paradise is fun for the whole family!  There is also a great zoo and many outdoor activities such as cycling tours for you and your friends and family to enjoy!

As previously mentioned, these are just a few of the many reasons why staying or living in a Yokohama guesthouse is a great idea.  I hope that one day you at least get to visit Yokohama, but to experience the most Yokohama has to offer, reside in a guesthouse and you will not be disappointed.
