Real Home

The rental system of many conventional real estate companies is not very foreigner friendly. And so, one has to be very careful about that. But “we find the best in Tokyo living for you” is the logo of KEN CORPORATION LTD. Apartments are usually rented for a minimum of two years, which conflicts with the fact that many foreigners stay in Japan for less than two years.

Furthermore, most landlords are naturally reluctant to rent their apartments to foreigners who are not able to communicate in Japanese. Some of them will even categorically refuse their service to non permanent residents out of fear of frictions. But here at Ken Corporation ltd., they provide foreigners with the best residential living spaces all across the metropolitan Tokyo region.
