A number of real estate agencies offer fully furnished and semi-furnished apartments. Semi-furnished apartments typically include basic fixtures, curtains, and some electrical appliances. Some removal companies, such as XPS Tokyo (above) sell new and used furniture. Alternatively, H&R Consultants (above) will lease furniture, linen, crockery, and electrical items for short or long periods, as will May’s Corporation (www.mays.co.jp) and Tokyo Lease Corporation (www.furniture-rental-tokyo.com). For new goods, IKEA (www.ikea.com) is a low-cost option. HH Style (www.hhstyle.com) has more stylish choices and Ma by SoShiTe (www.mabysoshite.com) sells Japanese-style furniture.
