Renting an office in Japan for business — general overview
Overview of renting an office for business in Japan: search, alternatives, guarantors, and visa requirements; details are in separate records.
Finding and renting an office in Japan as a foreign entrepreneur comes with a number of typical difficulties: chain office agencies are often fully booked, realtors may refuse based on foreign nationality, and a guarantee company is needed in almost every case. The topic covers: searching for an office (sites and agencies) and visa requirements; leasing administration and guarantors; and niche or regulated uses (short-term rental, Airbnb/Minpaku, dark kitchens).
