Did you know that living in Kyoto involves paying hefty fees, called shikikin,reikin to realestate agents and apartment managers? Sometimes this can mount to as much as 100,000yen - 500,000yen (1000USD-5000USD)! This money is usually paid up front before you move in. We, at Rent-in-Kyoto, wave these fees.

3) We do offer rooms on a long term basis but we require proof that you are eligible to stay more than 1 month.

House

1) Smoking is not permitted inside the house.

2) Pets are not allowed.

3) Since our rent includes house utilities, we would very much appreciate your co-operation regarding energy conservation. It is clear that our natural resources are being depleted as a result of over-use, and global warming has become an issue today. Let's be mindful of our impact on our natural surroundings and try to conserve. It is imperative that all human-kind think along these lines for the benefit of our future existence on Earth.
