Information for a more considered move.

Our focus

Chintai focuses on rental housing information in Japan. The guide is written in English for readers exploring costs, locations and the details to clarify before a move.

What this site provides

Our rental guide offers checklists and links to official information. It is a place to prepare questions, rather than a property marketplace. We do not provide live listings, property search, bookings, brokerage or individual legal advice.

Editorial approach

• Make the source clear. Link to official guidance when discussing rental procedures and documents.
• Separate guidance from claims. Do not present unverified listings, service features, customer results or testimonials as facts.
• Keep the scope visible. Costs, property availability and contract terms must be confirmed with the relevant provider.
• Respect the archive. Earlier articles remain available in their original form, including writing on other subjects and in other languages. Archived narratives do not establish current services or operator credentials.
