E-HOUSING Partners with Credit Saison: A Game Changer for Foreign Nationals in Japan

In a groundbreaking move, E-HOUSING, a real estate agency focused on supporting foreign nationals in Japan, has announced a strategic partnership with Credit Saison, a leading Japanese financial services company. Starting from June 22, 2026, this collaboration aims to transform the housing landscape for foreign residents by providing a comprehensive support scheme tailored to their unique needs.

The Background of the Partnership

As of the end of 2025, the number of foreign residents in Japan is expected to reach an all-time high of approximately 4 million. However, challenges remain when it comes to renting properties, including high screening hurdles, complicated procedures in Japanese, and difficulties in securing guarantors. E-HOUSING, established in 2022, has successfully handled over 2,000 contracts and employs a team where around 50% is made up of foreign nationals, offering services in ten different languages. This partnership seeks to fundamentally tackle these challenges, particularly in the areas of credit and guarantees.

Three Core Values Achieved Through This Partnership

1. Streamlined Tenant Screening: With the integration of Credit Saison’s rent guarantee services, E-HOUSING will provide flexible tenant support that does not depend on nationality or the availability of a guarantor.

2. Reduced Burden for Companies: By managing complex procedures through a one-stop multilingual service, E-HOUSING will alleviate the workload for HR and general affairs departments.

3. Comprehensive Living Support: From SIM cards and bank accounts to credit cards, telemedicine, and utility setups, E-HOUSING will assist foreign nationals with all aspects of establishing their life in Japan, including offering furnished rental spaces for short-term stays.

Insights from the CEO

Erik Nasriddinov, CEO of E-HOUSING, reflected on the personal challenges he faced as a foreigner seeking housing in Japan. He stated, “When I first arrived in Japan, I experienced firsthand the difficulties of finding a place to live. Language barriers, screening challenges, and the need for a guarantor created an overwhelming environment. My goal in establishing E-HOUSING was to change this reality, ensuring that housing for every foreign national working in Japan becomes a source of initial comfort rather than a wall of challenges.” His vision for this partnership is to establish a society where housing represents safety and support for foreign residents.
