Japan apartment initial cost calculator

Initial costs in Japan often include deposit, key money, agency fee, guarantor company fee, insurance, lock exchange, cleaning fees, and prorated rent.

A common rough range is four to six months of rent upfront, but the actual amount depends on region, property type, campaign discounts, and contract terms.

Use the checker to estimate your initial cost and identify which line items may be negotiable or risky.
