I'd used a few different agents to find an apartment in Tokyo, but
none of them were as helpful as Hikari. TAKA-san went out of his way
to find a place that was perfect, and he was always available to
answer questions and deal with any problems. I'd recommend him without
reservation.

本当に楽しくお部屋探しができました。

今まで何度も引越しをしているので、いい部屋選びはいい不動産会社から！と思い
探していたところ、ヒカリホームさんのHPを拝見して気になったので訪問させていただきました。
飛び込みで訪問したにも関わらず担当していただいた佐々木さんがとても親切丁寧に諸条件をヒアリングしてくださり
とても親身になって物件を探してくださいました。
その対応に大変感激いたしましたので、他の不動産会社には行かず、ヒカリホームさんだけで物件選びをすることに決めました。
佐々木さんはご自身もお忙しいのに毎週毎週こちらが驚くほど要望に近い物件を探してきては案内をしてくれ
途中こちらのわがままな条件変更にも快く応じてくださり、申し訳なくなるくらい契約のサポートまできっちり行っていただけました。
本当、トータル何件まわったんでしょう…ここまで真剣に取り組んでくださった不動産会社の営業さん、見たことありません（笑
でもおかげさまで1ヶ月ほどかかりましたが『これだ！』と思う部屋に出会えました！！
本当に佐々木さんには心から感謝しております。今回の物件選びはとても楽しく行うことができました。
こんなに納得して引越しするのは人生初めてかな。というくらい対応のレベルが高く、良くしていただきました。
また引越しする時には必ずお世話になりますね。ありがとうございました！

Even after living in Japan for 4 years I knew that dealing with Japanese real estate agents could be a potential nightmare if I tried to stumble through it with my only passable Nihongo. Kaz Harada at Hikari Tokyo Apartments was the perfect solution. He was able to liaise with Japanese owners and ask that awkward question "Are foreigners ok?" with a delicacy that other real-estate agents lack.
I also had some pretty specific requirements for the kind of apartment I was looking for and Kaz was able to show me several close to perfect matches before I settled on a place I was very happy with. He went out of his way to accommodate my odd working schedule and was kind enough to arrange viewings when it was convenient to me, even if it meant he had to work back quite late. I highly recommend Kaz to anyone who needs a helping hand settling into a new place in Tokyo.

I truly couldn't have asked for a better agent and real estate Company!!! I found Hikari Homes online and soon after inquiring about an apartment I was interested in, Kaz-san contacted me in a VERY timely fashion. My apartment search was narrowed down to my specifics/likings and Kaz-san patiently listened and found apartments that suited my needs. During the visits to the apartments Kaz-san answered all the questions I had and most importantly (at least to me) made me feel comfortable about the whole apartment hunting process. Not only did I find Kaz-san to be a terrific agent, he is a very friendly, warm and a funny man! :) Kaz-san's generous work-attitude extended beyond after I settled in into my new apartment and asked if everything was going well/smoothly for me in my new home. I truly recommend foreigners new or old in Japan as well as Japanese nationals to go through Hikari Homes when looking for an partment in Japan! All I can say now is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

My experience with Hikari Homes and particularly Kaz has been excellent. The entire process from the initial meeting, the viewings, the signing and the after care has been professional throughout. Kaz ensured he fully understood what I really wanted and made looking for a new home in Tokyo an overall enjoyable experience. I would have no problem at all recommending him to others.

Kaz-san was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. As a foreigner starting my new life in Japan, it was difficult to understand the process of renting an apartment. Kaz was able to explain everything to me, and help me find my perfect apartment. Kaz provided a wide selection of apartments to choose from, and was always available to take me to the different places, and answer any questions I had. Kaz also helped negotiate the price of my apartment, which I was very greatful for. I would highly recommend Hikari Homes to anyone wanting to live in Japan.

"Foreigners coming to Japan, I will be honest with you.
You are going to move to Japan and you are amazingly excited. YOU'RE RIGHT!
Of course, you should first read a bit about "culture shock" and watch "Lost in translation" again but
Japan is an unbelievable country and if you're ready to play the game, discover the culture and learn the language a little,
this will makes it a very rich human experience in your life.

Foreigners coming to Japan, I will be honest with you.
Finding an apartment, by yourself, in Japan is (to me) impossible. The language and how the system functions are 2 huge unknowns for you as you won't be able to understand a lot of things, but also for any landlord
as it will be hard for them to trust you.

However, take a deep breath as there is a solution: Don't think you're smarter, don't think you will be able to find the best deal by yourself. Don't put all that responsability on you.
Just contact Harada-san, here at Hikari Home...and your worries are over, I mean a part of it ;-)
His english is perfect. He is both a very kind family man but also a very professional real estate agent. He's completely devoted to his work. He is honest.
He answers very fast to any request and he took care of everything for me in this apartment hunt.

Conclusion: if you need an apartment, you now know what to do: Harada-san! But if during this process or adaptation to your new life, you still feel tired, stressed, weird or if you need help with your health, you can visit my new beautiful osteopathy clinic at www.gregoryberge.com.

Foreigners coming to japan...WELCOME!"

"I am very grateful to Kaz of Hikari Homes for the hard work he put into helping me find a new place in Tokyo. He was professional, patient, and very knowledgable about real estate in Tokyo. His thoroughness and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind, and his relaxed and friendly personality made the whole experience much more pleasant than I had expected. I am extremely happy with the service he provided and would recommend him without hesitation!"

Philipp from Swiss

The appartement hunt was getting frustrating: week after week meeting with agencies, searching the web, filling out complicated forms and looking at appartement that were ok, but never just right. Then finally we met Kaz. A quick phone call and a meeting at his office and he already understood our preferences. An appartement hunt later, we choose the appartement and after a couple of weeks we moved. Kaz was extremely pro-active and helpful during the whole process. Kaz speaks not only very good English, but also takes the time to explain the particularities of the Japanese renting system (or did you know that the fire insurance includes a stalker insurance?). I can highly recommend Kaz for foreigners and Japanese appartement hunters alike.

"Finding an apartment in japan can be a really hard experience for a foreigner, especially if you don't speak the language. Thanks to Kaz and his professional work I found an apartment in Tokyo. Even if take time to look for the perfect place, Kaz has great patience and will try to work as hard as he can to be at your service. It was really appreciate. You don't have to worry Kaz handle everything for you so what more can I say? The service is just perfect as japan service is."
