HIRAKI HOME is a very great agency which will support you on your apartment hunting. Trustful and very kind, they will provide efforts until you find the apartment your are looking for.

I recommend their services. Thanks!

Very great experience. Kaz was fantastic and very tolerant of my other commitments work wise so it was a pleasure to work with him. Also considering the extra mile he went for me when there where some time delays in the wires to secure my place were also greatly appreciated.

Soren from Estonia

Kaz helped me navigate through the rental real estate market of Tokyo. All the issues that arose were taken care of in a timely manner and in the end I found an apartment corresponding both with my criteria and the time limit for move-in.

He was recommended to my by a colleague and I would recommend his services to my friends.

Jeffery from US

Kaz from Hikari is head and shoulders above the other 2 agents I dealt with. He was prompt and engaged in every meeting and had a relaxed manner about him (not stuffy at all). The thing I appreciated most is he called every apartment I was interested in right in front of me - loved the transparency there. Nothing was hidden. It was basically - 1) you want to see the apartment 2) call them in front of you to make sure it's available 3) let's go see it right now. Recommending them to all my colleagues.

Thomas from US

After hearing horror stories of how long and difficult it is for some other foreigners to find apartments in Japan, I was extremely surprised and pleased with how quickly and smoothly things went using Kaz as my realtor.

When every other realtor said “no,” Kaz said “yes”. Despite being abroad, having a visa issue, and canceling on him once: Kaz didn’t stop until he found a perfect place for me. In an industry where transparency can be hard to come by, Kaz treated me with the upmost honesty and professionalism. Thank you!

Keith from US

A friend of mine first put me in contact with Kaz when I told him I was planning on moving to Tokyo from the United States for graduate school. Kaz was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process of searching for apartments as well as handling all of the related paperwork. While I had lived in Japan previously and expected a long and difficult process, his help made the transition painless. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to move to or within the Tokyo area.

David from Canada

Finally I was able to find my apartment and thanks to Kaz. Not so easy for foreigners to come and set up their life here especially if they are picky about all their requirements and location.

Eventually I really appreciated him being honest about the entire procedure and his ability to keep me updated during the entire process (especially for finding the guarantor company).

I definitely recommend him.
