Apartment Japan and FUTRWORKS Collaborate to Enhance Living for Foreigners

New Collaboration between Apartment Japan and FUTRWORKS

DID-GLOBAL Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, has announced an exciting new partnership with Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corporation to enhance the living and working experience for foreign residents in Japan. This collaboration aims to address the growing demand from foreign nationals, particularly digital nomads and long-term travelers, by offering a unique service that combines rental housing with access to co-working spaces.

Understanding the Need

In recent years, Japan has seen an increase in the number of foreigners staying for over a month, including medium to long-term digital nomads and remote global workers. However, securing both rental housing and a suitable work environment has remained a significant challenge due to strict leasing conditions, including the requirement for guarantors, which complicates the renting process for foreigners.

Additionally, finding co-working spaces while still overseas is daunting, making the dual challenge of arranging both accommodation and workspaces at once feel nearly impossible. Addressing these issues has become essential, particularly as concerns arise about waste disposal etiquette and community integration for foreign residents.

What the Partnership Offers

Through the partnership between Apartment Japan (APJ) and FUTRWORKS, foreigners can now conveniently search for available rental properties and co-working spaces via the APJ portal (apartment-japan.com). This platform allows users to find residential properties near FUTRWORKS that meet specified criteria. Residents who lease a qualifying apartment will receive a complimentary Day Pass for short-term visitors, providing them with free access to FUTRWORKS for a day.

1. Convenience: Foreign residents can secure both accommodation and a workspace simultaneously, significantly improving their living experience in Japan.
2. Enhanced Community Support: The cooperation between property owners and co-working space managers aims to foster better community engagement and address common issues faced by foreign residents, such as adherence to local manners and garbage disposal practices.
3. New Living and Working Styles: This service introduces an innovative model for living that merges
