About us

YourHomeinJapan.com is run by Johan Asplund and DreamStudies. I have traveled to Japan 1-2 times a year for the past ten years. I have helped thousands of students to study in Japan and for a few years I was assistant tour leader on a discover Japan trip. I have gathered a lot of knowledge about different types of accommodation in Japan and on this site I want to use my experience to help you find a suitable accommodation there.

It can be difficult to find long term accommodation on your own in Japan, especially if you don’t speak Japanese. Here we provide you with clear information in English about the accommodation options and providers that we have the best experience of. Fill in the form at the bottom of the page of the accommodation that you are interested in. Then you will be entitled to our discounts and the accommodation company will get back to you with suggestions of suitable rooms. You don’t commit to anything until you enter into an agreement with the accommodation provider.

YourHomeinJapan.com don’t charge you anything. The accommodation cost is paid directly to the accommodation provider according to their price lists, you never pay anything to us. However, we can offer you good discounts.

In our FAQ, you will find more information about accommodation and travel to Japan including advice about flights, visa and insurance. Contact us if you have any questions.
