[Real Stories] Apartments vanish in HOURS! The only way to secure your room in Japan’s peak season

Hello! This is Yuka Yanagi, Representative Director of willow Inc.

As we head into the moving season (January – March), our office is flooded with inquiries. But at the same time, this is the season when our staff feels the most frustrated for our clients.

Why? Because “the perfect apartment often gets taken by someone else just seconds before our client applies.”

Real Stories: Why Your Dream Room Disappears

The Japanese real estate market during these months moves at the speed of minutes. Here are real examples of what we face every day:

  • Story 1: A client finds a great room. We prepare the application immediately, only to hear from the management company: “Sorry, someone else applied 10 minutes ago.”
  • Story 2: A client wants to see the room in person before deciding. While waiting a few days for the viewing appointment, someone else applies without even visiting, and the room is gone.

It’s heartbreaking, but this is the “reality” of the moving season in Japan.

Is it Risky to Apply Without Seeing? Here is Our Solution.

It’s natural to feel anxious about signing a contract without visiting the room. However, waiting too long means losing the room entirely.

To help you win this race, Willow offers two digital viewing solutions:

  1. Online Live Viewings (Video Call): Our staff goes to the apartment and shows it to you live via LINE video call. We check every detail—inside closets, the view from the window—so you don’t have to travel.
  2. Utilizing Virtual Tours (SUUMO, etc.): We walk you through high-quality 360° panoramas and videos, explaining the pros and cons from a professional’s perspective.

These methods allow you to secure the room days faster than your rivals who are waiting for an in-person visit.

Conclusion: Act Fast to Secure Your Future

“I waited to see it, and now it’s gone.”
We don’t want you to have that regret.

At Willow Inc., we act as your trusted partners in Japan. Sometimes we might say, “You need to move fast!” because we truly care about your success in finding a home.
