株式会社 AghartA

We had looked around and made appointments with other agencies before committing to Agharta. Of the companies we talked to, Agharta had provided us with the most (and best) options within our fairly strict limitations (foreign, couple, one student, different commute directions, a fairly tight budget, size minimums etc). With this information in mind, Tsubasa led us through a few different options in terms of areas and train lines in our price range. She was extremely helpful in narrowing down exactly what kind of neighborhood and apartment we wanted and could afford. It was very easy to communicate what we wanted with Agharta. Tsubasa speaks English very fluently and explained the apartment application process thoroughly. When it came time to move in, she carefully translated our contracts, set up our water, gas, and electricity, and--even though we didn't need it--had moving companies available for suggestion. The only downside to my experience in working with Agharta is the number of staff present and available. Overall, we are very happy with our apartment and our experience with Agharta.

I had the great pleasure of working with AghartA Inc to find an apartment in Tokyo. Tsubasa in particular was incredibly helpful. Her professionalism and work ethic made, what could have been a very stressful experience for a foreigner, a simple transition from one prefecture to another. Agharta Inc were also kind enough to assist me with the cancellation of my lease and provided me with all of the information I needed. I would definitely do business with AghartA Inc again if I moved back to Japan.

Renting a place in Tokyo as a foreigner with a job and Japanese language proficiency, somewhat difficult. Renting a place in Tokyo as a foreigner with a job and no Japanese, hard. Renting a place in Tokyo as a foreign language school student, effectively impossible. Somehow Tsubasa-san made the impossible happen. She helped me find a place closer to my school, cheaper than my sharehouse, and on a more convenient line. She killed it! I lived in a sharehouse for two months before I attempted to find my own apartment. I found out about Agharta through different listings I saw on realestate.co.jp. Tsubasa san replied to one of my inquiries and immediately scheduled time to meet with me. I met her the day after my email and we started looking at places on their database of listings that were around my budget. I chose maybe 30-40 different places and Tsubasa called all of them. Only 7-8 were ok with a foreign language student without a job. I was a bit disappointed at how many were cut, but Tsubasa san explained the reality of real estate in Japan. If you are curious, the totem poll is: Japanese citizen Foreigner with a job + Japanese skills Foreign university students Foreign language school student Even with so many potential apartments cut out Tsubasa san made sure that I saw the units that I was interested in. When I found one that I liked, she ensured that I was top priority when it came to the application and kept me updated at every step of the process. Even after the application was approved she helped configure things like gas, electricity, and water. Finding opportunities (work, school, networking) as a foreigner in Japan seems to be quite difficult so far. People like Tsubasa-san enable us to chase opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach. I am very satisfied and thankful for her work!

I had such a hard time finding an agency with an English speaking agent. After going through several agencies and much frustration, I was recommended AghartA by my friend and I couldn’t have been happier. The English speaking agent at AghartA, Tsubasa, is fluent in both Japanese and English and lived in another country so that made her even more understanding and capable of handling contracts for non Japanese speakers like me. I also found the initial consultation very beneficial so that she knew my circumstance as well as my needs and was well prepared when showed me an apartment. She was professional yet friendly throughout the process and I felt confident letting her handle my contract. I recommend this agency to anyone with confidence. I just wish I knew this place sooner!

I was in contact with many other real estate agencies in Tokyo to find a good apartment. Already when contacting Agharta by E-Mail I received a lot of helpful information and an orientation guideline besides only information about the apartment, so my first impression of this company was already very good. When I met Tsubasa-san, a very kind, competent and friendly lady - real estate agent of Agharta, she showed me several apartments - considering all my personal criterias and likings and she found me a good apartment already at our first meeting. She also helped me with many other issues which were needed to rent an apartment - even took care of making the hanko (name stamp - used in Japan instead of a signature) for me, doing phone calls on my behalf and giving me lots of useful information about other administrative things. The whole process of finding and renting an apartment took me only 3 days with the help of Tsubasa-san. I can highly recommend Agharta and especially Tsubasa-san as one of the most helpful and competent real estate agents I have met so far (compared to about 6 others of other companies, whose names I do not want to mention here). If you want to find a good apartment which fits your needs (from low to high budget) - in a secure way with most friendly and helpful service - then I can only advice you to try Agharta first. It will spare you lots of troubles.

Finding an apartment in Tokyo especially if you are a foreigner and speak a little bit Japanese can be very difficult. Tsubasa-san will help you find the right one like what I have experienced. She worked within my budget and prioritized the things that I like in an apartment. She was very honest and easy to deal with. Also, she replies immediately. Aside from the search, Tsubasa-san helped me set up the utilities, which can also be difficult. I am glad I got Agharta as my agent ;)

A small but very capable real estate agency, they helped me find an apartment within days. Tsubasa is competent and honest, never pressuring me to do anything, always laying out my options. Of course, her English fluency was key to our success; this was the first time in Japan that I was able to move apartments without the help of a Japanese friend. I appreciate everything they did for me.

Can't believe how long it has taken me to get around to writing this review considering how amazing AghartA is and how important they were to helping us find a great place to live! I speak Japanese but my partner doesn't, so we decided that it would be best to use a bilingual company to help us find a rental in Tokyo. We also have two cats, which made finding an apartment particularly difficult for us, but Tsubasa-san was very kind and helpful in finding us plenty of places to see. She's very knowledgeable about different management companies and didn't bother telling us about apartments run by places that did not accept foreigners, and thanks to her we were able to find a wonderful location that we all (cats included) love! Tsubasa-san is great about communicating with you and explaining procedures and utilities in English as well, so I definitely recommend them if you don't speak much Japanese and need to find a place to live. We will definitely use their service again!
