A furnished apartment is an apartment that is equipped with furnitures and basic appliances a tenant needs to live comfortably. Most furnished apartments have a bed, a couch, a dining table, common kitchen appliances and utensils such as stove, fridge, oven, silverwares, pots and pans and some would even provide linens such as towels and blankets. The furnishings you will find in a furnished apartment may differ from one another as it would depend upon the landlord of the listing.

In searching for long-term stay accommodations in Japan, you will stumble more often with unfurnished apartments. If you would like to proceed to rent an unfurnished apartment, you should keep in mind the options you have when you begin furnishing your new apartment. There is the easiest option of purchasing new furnitures and appliances from a wide variety of stores in Japan. You may also opt to look for second-hand furnitures from surpluses and sales groups on social media. If you are planning to bring your own furnitures, keep in mind the flooring in most of the Japanese apartments. Most of the apartments have tatami flooring which is a traditional mat and since these mats are thin, it cannot withstand heavy weights. Thus, it is recommended to refrain from placing furnitures that will be movable most of the time as it will tear the tatami mats apart.
