Elizabeth Weiblen from U.S.A

I would like to express my appreciation for the service I received from Hikari Home while searching for my residence in Tokyo. Special Thanks go to my agent Seiya Kato for all of his attention and effort on my behalf.
Kato san took into account all of the qualities that I was looking for in an apartment including expense, location, convenience and amenities. He found me a variety of different apartments to choose from and went with me to view each one of them.
More importantly, he helped me through the entire screening and contract process. I am sure you are aware of the special difficulties in finding a home as a student and as someone who is living in Japan temporarily on a visa. Kato San’s help was invaluable during the contract process, when there were language issues and contract conditions that are standard in Japan but not where I am from in the United States.
I am quite pleased with my new apartment and I appreciate all of the hard work that was done on my behalf.

Thank you for all of your help.

"Finding an apartment in Tokyo can be very painfull for foreigners, especially if your japanese level is not that good. Thankfully Hikari Home is a great Housing management company who can make this task easier. With an access to all "real" apartment in Tokyo (not only the big expensive foreigners friendly towers) and an english speaking staff. My agent, Kaz Harada, helped me to find the apartment I was looking for as fast as possible with his perfect english and his pleasant company. He also helped me with all the paperwork, was very available and dedicated. I'd recommand to anyone looking for an aparment to give Hikari home a try!"

As a new foreigner in Tokyo, with plans to stay long term, I wanted access to the "real" Tokyo apartment system instead of the typical, and limited, foreigner options. Hikari fulfilled this desire wonderfully. My agent was the great, and quite funny, Kaz Harada. Kaz took me to see multiple apartments on at least three different occasions, guided me through all of the paper work, and even set up my utilities and internet once I finally found a place. Kaz was always quick to respond to messages and phone calls, and was truly an enjoyable person to work with. If you want an apartment in Tokyo, but haven't been sure who to trust, stop looking, you've found the place.

I recently arrived to Tokyo from Canada to begin work for a company within the city. I did not speak Japanese nor was I familiar with the housing situation in Tokyo and I was looking for an apartment within a two week time period -- a highly stressful situation! Luckily I came upon the Hikari Homes website and contacted them by e-mail with my desired apartment considerations. I was introduced to Kato-san and he gladly showed me a number of apartments within the area I was looking. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and organized. Within the week, he helped me to find an apartment and made the necessary arrangements for all the apartment setups. I am very thankful to them for helping me find an apartment I am glad to call my home!



I highly recommend Hikari Homes and Kato-san for their housing services!

It is the third time I’m moving within Tokyo and this last one is the easier and faster I did. Kaz has been pro-reactive to my email posted on the internet. On the same day Kaz called me and then we met 2 days after so for him to understand what I’m looking for. After 4 days of investigation on his side he came with 10 proposals and we selected 4 of them. The first visit was the apartment I’m now in! Even the area I was looking for was not in the usual area where Kaz is having his clients he did find the right apartment!　Kaz has been very friendly during the time we spend together but remained very professional in his attention to my comfort and even advice me for insurance and internet solution. I really appreciate the high level services provided by Kaz and also the welcoming staffs in Hikari Tokyo Apartments office. They are very trustworthy and dedicated people.

Ray Vikram Nath from India

I arrived recently in Tokyo from New Delhi. Since it was my first time in Japan I pretty much did not know anything about renting an accommodation as well as the related formalities. I got searching on the net and came across Hikari Homes in Tokyo. Soon I got in touch with Kato-san from Hikari Homes, who helped me settle down in Tokyo. Today I am extremely happy with the services that has been provided to me. Not only did Hikari Homes got me a comfortable place to stay, it went beyond than that by helping me rent furniture as well as assisting me with its payments. Being a foreigner and tackling finances gets difficult at times and this was understood at Hikari Homes, which has immensely helped in smoothly settling these issues out.For all these reasons as well and much more I would highly recommend the real estate services being provided by Hikari Homes to anybody and everybody coming Tokyo and looking for an Apartment. I would like to rate them amongst one of the best services I have come across till now.

In the end I would like to thank Kato-san and the whole team at Hikari Home for their support and continuing assistance.

"I was introduced to Kaz Harada through a coworker of mine, and was told he was one of the best agents to deal with.
Kaz definitely lived up to his reputation, and went to great lengths to accommodate my requirements. From apartment
viewing to contract negotiations, Kaz always kept my best interests in mind and was diligent and speedy in his
arrangements. Hikari Homes office staff are all super friendly and made me feel as comfortable as possible.
If you want to take the stress and hardship out of house-hunting in Tokyo, I highly recommend Hikari Homes."

I found a suitable apartment in just a few days following the advice of Mr. Kaz Harada. He was really patient all the time, more than helpful and he cleared all my doubts. He let me understand all what is related to the contracts and important things useful for daily life like bills, garbage disposal, etc. After signing the contract he has also answered my questions and has been supportive to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Thanks to Hikari I didn’t have any problems in finding a short-stay apartment for the beginning and a long-stay one afterwards. I strongly recommend this company to find a place to stay in Tokyo .

I approached several agents but only Mr. Kato Seiya of Hikari Home who is very patient and diligent enough to find an apartment with my specific requirements. He is very professional and approachable. I'm happy that I got an apartment near our office with the help of Kato-san.

Michelle Larkin from Ireland

I recently arrived in Japan and was a bit daunted at the prospect of finding an apartment. I was put in touch with Mr. Kato prior to my departure and he was very helpful in my search. I gave him my requirements and most importantly my budget. Once I arrived we had a meeting to go through some apartments he had prepared and after alot of viewings in incredible heat and severe jet lag we were successful!! Mr. Kato was very patient in answering the hundreds of questions I had, if he didn´t know the answer he looked it up and emailed me that day. He also arranged for my gas and internet to get connected, which was a relief!! The move to my Japanese apartment was made so much easier with his help and I would recommend him to any one. Michelle
