A new life in Japan with my dog
When moving to Japan, I knew moving alone with a pet would not only be difficult, it would be expensive. And I wanted to avoid having to fly over without my dog first, pay for his boarding, stay in an AirBnb or hotel, go apartment hunting, apply for apartment after apartment not knowing if I would be approved with enough time to settle in and start my school term. So I decided to contact e-housing and they were able to have an apartment waiting for me the very day I arrived!
Victor was absolutely incredible. He very easily explained to me all aspects of the contract from start to finish, and was an interpreter when I met with a native speaking official to sign the contract. He has been extremely diligent following up all aspects of documentation requirements, both before signing the contract and after, and went personally to take videos and photos of three properties for me beforehand, and then met me at my chosen property as soon as he received the keys!
I could not have asked for more, and for what it's worth - my rent is STILL half of what I was paying in Australia.
My apartment is beautiful. I love my neighbourhood in Shinjuku with such great proximity to everything, particularly my language school in Takadanobaba. And if you're looking for quality apartments, quality service, and especially if you're moving to Japan with a pet/s... trust e-housing. They make the dream REAL. xxx
