<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nGenerally, people do about 2 to 3 apartment viewings per day. However, if there are properties you want to view nearby and you have a tight schedule, you may be able to view 4 to 6 properties in one day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, if you spend one hour viewing each property, it will take 4 to 6 hours just for the tour. You must visit the property during the real estate company’s business hours, so if they are only open for 8 hours, the total travel time will be limited to about 2 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, if there are other properties in distant locations, you may be unable to visit them in time if there are many properties to tour. Therefore, we recommend viewing 2 to 3 properties in a day to have plenty of time to look around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rendezvous at the Meeting Point for Tours<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.villagehouse.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image8-4.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMost of the time, with real estate companies, you visit their office before doing apartment tours. Sometimes, it can take 1 to 2 hours for agents to discuss your desired conditions and interview you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, you could meet at the location for the preview. We recommend this as the interview time will be shortened, and you will have more time to inspect the property at your leisure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meeting on-site for viewings is also an effective way to avoid “decoy properties” that continue to be listed even though they are not available for applications. Even if you request to meet on-site, you may be told, “You can’t view the property until you come to the office,” or “We do not do on-site meetings.” So be careful, as it may be a decoy property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are planning to meet at the location, share your room search conditions with the real estate company in advance by email or phone. They will research the properties with your conditions in advance so you can move on to the next property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example Room Search Conditions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u30fbWithin 20 minutes of walking from \u3007\u3007 station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u30fbRent up to ~00,000 yen (management fee included) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u30fbWashing machine space (indoors desired) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Bring to an Apartment Viewing<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.villagehouse.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image7-35.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Tape measure <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It is useful to have a measuring tape to measure the size of the windows and the room. In particular, measure the space to see if large furniture, such as sofas and beds, can be moved and set up. Later on, writing those dimensions on the floor plan will be helpful. Also, if you measure the width and height of the window(s), you can get the curtains before you move in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Smartphone <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Smartphones are equipped with the features needed for apartment showings, such as a camera, compass, level meter, and light. It is convenient to take pictures of the interior and exterior of the property when viewing the property so that you can look back on them later (please check with the person in charge in advance for permission to take pictures). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They can also be used in various ways, such as checking the level meter to see if the floor is sloped or using the compass to check the direction of a place you’re concerned about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Pen and paper <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Even if you have a smartphone, bring a notepad and something to write with. It is important to write down the room’s dimensions on the floor plan and to take notes so that you can review the explanations and information from the agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Floor plans <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Print out the floor plan yourself or have your real estate agent print it for you. A floor plan is helpful because it allows you to write down the room’s measurements and the locations of electrical outlets. Also, check to see if there are any discrepancies between the floor plan and the actual room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Slippers and socks <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Often, the rooms of a property are dirty before the house cleaning is done. Also, as a general rule, you cannot go inside barefoot, so have socks ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slippers are generally provided by the real estate agent. It’s a good idea to check if you can borrow slippers when you make a reservation for the viewing. <\/p>\n\n\n
