Your local experts in finding the perfect Osaka home — showing you properties no one else will.
Navigating the Japanese rental market as a foreigner is complex. We simplify every step — from search to keys in hand.
Access exclusive listings not found elsewhere. We show properties most agents won't.
Japanese contracts are notoriously complex. We translate, explain, and negotiate every clause on your behalf.
Most landlords reject foreign applicants. Our deep network of landlord relationships changes that.
From utility setup to internet registration — we help you feel at home from day one in Osaka.

Alan was very helpful in finding a place. Found a nice well situated apartment in a couple of weeks. He was communicative and friendly the whole process.
I contacted Maido Estate to find an apartment in Osaka during my Working Holiday. Alan was very responsive and professional. I quickly found a place in [neighborhood] that matched exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend this real estate agency to anyone looking to rent in Osaka.
Alan's been incredibly helpful. I'm in a tricky situation: a foreigner with two cats. Instead of discouraging me, he offered many options since day one. He found a flat in the area that I liked the most, inside my budget and helped me with every doubt through all the process (and I had a lot, since I still cant speak japanese, and he's totally fluent of course). In less than a month, I'm living in the perfect flat for me, an amazing place that accepts my two cats without any extra fee!!!! Extremelly patient and kind. Always available for an emergency. His service is worth every yen. Thank you so much!
We highly recommend Alan! We discovered that it's much more efficient to use an agent who lives directly in the desired area: while an agent in Tokyo couldn't find us anything suitable in a month and a half, Alan, who lives in Osaka, found us a place in just one day. He helped us find the perfect apartment that accepted our two dogs, which is usually very difficult. Alan is extremely responsive: he offered us a property half a day after our initial contact, and we were able to view it the very next day. He also brilliantly handled the discussions with the property management company to ensure our pets were allowed. Impeccable, fast, and local service!
