If you’re in need of some household repairs, speak to your landlord or rental agency – they should organise for someone to come round. Foreigners in need of a handyman to help with the general cleaning of vents and air-conditioning units and odd jobs like furniture assembly can hire help through Chez Vous or Benry. Expect to pay upwards of ¥15,000 for a half-day’s work. Benry also has a pest control service. Many agencies have several branches but they will all take on jobs citywide.
