Supporting Students' First Steps into Independent Living
As students embark on their journey of living alone for the first time, they often face significant financial challenges. The excitement of starting a new chapter often collides with the reality of costs associated with moving, such as deposit fees, moving expenses, and the purchase of essential furniture and appliances. In light of rising prices, the burden of needing everything brand new has become more daunting each year. Many students are also burdened with the questions of what they truly need until they experience their new living space, as well as how to dispose of unwanted items once they graduate.
To address these issues, CHINTAI has collaborated with CLAS to unveil an initiative that specifically assists students through their 'Gakusapo' (Student Support) program. This collaboration offers students the flexibility to rent essential furniture and appliances through CLAS’s subscription service, easing the transition to independent living. Through Gakusapo, students can enjoy various beneficial options, including borrowing items on a monthly basis, purchasing them at a residual value, or returning and exchanging them as needed.
Exclusive Benefits for Gakusapo Users
CHINTAI’s Gakusapo initiative is dedicated to supporting students embarking on this exciting phase of life. As part of this partnership, new users registering through Gakusapo will receive:
- - CLAS gift: A welcome box, featuring valuable items that assist with moving into their new homes.
- - Special Offer: 1,000 yen in CLAS points upon registration and a continuous 15% discount on monthly rental fees.
Students can easily register through a leaflet included in their welcome box or through the dedicated website 'Kurashi Support.' This tailored approach ensures that students are encouraged to start their new life with greater ease and comfort.
About Gakusapo
Gakusapo was created by CHINTAI, a leading company in property searches, to help students navigate the transition to living independently. Recognizing that this is often a pivotal moment in their lives, Gakusapo aims to provide the support necessary for students to feel secure and prepared.
This program comprises two main offerings:
- - Moving Celebration Box: A curated collection of items designed to help students settle into their new homes.
- - Lifestyle Support: A dedicated website providing resources and content aimed at enhancing students' academic and living experiences.
As part of this initiative, CHINTAI is committed to ensuring that students can embark on their new lives with confidence and support.

The unique features of CLAS include:
- - Post-rental Purchase Options: Students can purchase items after use, with some exclusions.
