Living in Osaka as a foreigner.

Osaka is where Aura Homes lives, so it is the city we know street by street. For newcomers it is one of the most forgiving places to land in Japan: friendly, affordable next to Tokyo, and full of landlords who already rent to international residents. We handle screening, the guarantor company, and the Japanese paperwork in your language.

Renting in Osaka is where most of our clients begin, and the range is wide — a compact 1K near Namba for a student, or a family home out toward Tennoji or Suita with parks and schools nearby. Because Osaka is our headquarters, we can meet you in person, walk you through a property before you commit, and be on the phone with the landlord the same afternoon. For buyers, Osaka has become one of Japan's most active markets for foreign residents, from renovated machiya townhouses to modern condos near a station. We explain what a foreigner can and cannot do at each price point, connect you with banks that lend to non-citizens, and translate every clause before you sign — whether you want us in English, Japanese, Nepali, or Vietnamese.
