A warm welcome to Japan, from all of us to you!

Moving to a new country is a big step. It can be challenging and scary to start the next phase of your life in unknown territory. Some people are lucky enough to have visited Japan before moving, maybe even have some friends already living here. But many people don’t have that sort of luxury. They come to Japan starting from zero.
Naturally, you want to get adjusted as quickly as possible. That mean finding a place to live, getting used to the area, making friends, learning about the culture and so much more. Doing all this by yourself is no small task.

Well, I’ll let you in on a golden secret. There is an easy way to make friends on day one in Japan. The kind of people who would love to show you around, share their culture and welcome you with open arms. Sounds too good to be true right? Well, the secret real and it’s easy. Move into a Social Apartment!

Social Apartments are extremely foreign friendly and make getting an apartment in Japan a smooth experience, even while still overseas. They come with fully equipped kitchens, lounges and there are even a few furnished rooms available. This means buying all new furniture becomes no problem. One less thing to worry about and make your transition to Japan a little less stressful.

Check out the cool lounges! A great way to relax with friends at the end of the day!

While the buildings are all stylish and well equipped, the true value of the Social Apartment comes from the people who live there. International communities of bright and friendly people waiting to welcome you to your new home in Japan. The residents would be more than happy to help you get starting with your new life in Japan. Show you new places, teach you about the language and culture, and take you on new and exciting experiences. Because there is a good mix of both Japanese natives and residents for foreign countries, you get to experience real Japanese culture and also have a taste of cultures from all over the world. The people are what can make Japan start to feel like home.

Look at these smiling faces all waiting to greet you!

This is a topic very near and dear to my heart. When I first came to Japan, I was starting from zero. I had no contacts and had to figure things out for myself. I can never forget that experience. It was a little scary but exciting. There were many challenges, but after I moved into the social apartments, this got significantly easier. I made Japanese friends who I could reach out if I ever needed anything. Thanks to them I was able to make the most of my time in Japan so far. Moving into the Social Apartments was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

In fact, you may remember me from this interview a few years ago!

At that time, I was working as an English teacher, but after having so many great experiences with Social Apartments I started to work for them! During that interview, I said my motto was “one day at a time”. I didn’t know what the future would bring. Who would have guessed that eventually, I`d become a member of the Social Apartment team? After coming to Japan with absolutely nothing, Social Apartments helped me find a home, a group of close friends, memorable experiences, and even a job! I hope that they can do the same for you as well.

Here is me at one of the Social Apartment sister hotels, Hotel Unwind Sapporo! Traveling? Stop by!

So, do yourself a favor, get your Japan experience started off right. It is the best and easiest way to adjust to Japan and start having fun. The residents are ready and waiting to welcome you to the community. We hope to see you soon!
