In this series, we feature recommended pet-friendly apartments in and near Tokyo.
It can be difficult to find a pet-friendly apartment because pet-friendly properties represent only a fraction of apartment listings in Japan, but it’s not impossible!
A good thing to know upfront is that landlords usually require at least one month’s rent extra deposit for you to have a pet. For details on how to find a pet-friendly apartment in Japan, please see this article.
