<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou might be unsure of how much to spend on furniture. The answer will obviously vary depending on personal circumstances but if you are planning on staying in Japan for a while you probably want some good quality furniture \u2013 this doesn\u2019t have to be at a great expense though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of our first choices for cheap furniture in Japan are Nitori furniture, Ikea furniture, and anything at the many Second-hand furniture stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nApartment Furnishing Tip 1: Ikea Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIkea<\/a>, the Swedish favorite, is one of the most popular furniture stores around the world for a variety of good reasons. Its chic Scandinavian style is very practical and it\u2019s also accessible thanks to Ikea\u2019s low cost. You can get a sprung mattress for as little as \u00a56,999 and a set of 4 chairs and a table for \u00a59,950. Walking through the maze of showrooms will definitely give you plenty of inspiration, with great examples of interior design that will work well for Japanese apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/vhbloglive.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/768x300-EN.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFor prices so low, the quality of Ikea furniture is surprisingly high. The furniture is sold as flatpacks for you to assemble, so they are able to cut unnecessary costs.\u00a0 As a bonus, if you\u2019re into puzzles or Lego, you can really make a day out of assembling the flatpack Ikea furniture! If you need large furniture but don\u2019t have access to a car, Ikea furniture might be a great option for you since they offer a delivery service, starting from \u00a54,500. If you\u2019re planning on getting an Ikea furniture delivery, try to order it all in one go so that you only have to pay the delivery price once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though you might be looking for Ikea furniture, the stores are also popular for their meatballs and other meals served at the caf\u00e9, so do take a break from all the shopping to try them out! They have great options for vegetarians and vegans too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nApartment Furnishing Tip 2: Nitori Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis Japanese furnishing and interior design store will have everything you need and more; including furniture, appliances, and bedding. They are lovably known as the cheaper alternative to MUJI – the minimalistic Japanese lifestyle store, popular across the World. Some of the most loved Nitori<\/a> furniture includes their comfortable futons at affordable prices, with a 3-piece set starting at \u00a53,990. Their non-sticky frying pans are a best seller too, they\u2019re incredibly lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe furniture is designed for Japanese apartments so it\u2019s really functional and great if you\u2019re tight for space. I love how the kitchen storage units have designated rice cooker spots where you can cook your rice without damaging the furniture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is also cheap delivery for Nitori furniture and goods \u2013 the price varies between \u00a5550 and \u00a52,200 so Nitori furniture is a great option if you can\u2019t easily pick up furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nApartment Furnishing Tip 3: Second Hand Furniture Shops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOff House and Second Street are two of the best-used furniture stores, with locations all around Japan. In fact, Japan is a wonderful place to consider trying out second-hand goods since most things sold in second-hand furniture shops are as good as new since they\u2019ve been kept impeccably well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The downside of used furniture stores is that you can\u2019t guarantee what each store stocks so it might take a bit more time and patience to find what you need, but when you do it will be a bargain worth the effort. Nevertheless, you can check online to see what kind of items each store usually has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These stores often offer delivery too, at a cost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nApartment Furnishing Tip 4: Facebook (the online used furniture store)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are Facebook groups, such as Sayonara Sales, where people moving out of their apartments can sell their furniture for cheap. This is a great option if you have access to a car, you\u2019ll be able to find some great deals since people just need to get rid of their furniture due to the high cost of disposing of it. The prices will beat the other new furniture stores and even the second-hand furniture shops! It isn\u2019t that easy if you\u2019re looking for larger furniture and don\u2019t have the means to transport it. It\u2019s still worth keeping your eyes peeled because every so often people are able to deliver their goods to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mottainai Japan is another group where everything is given away for free so it\u2019s definitely worth checking these out. You should be able to find more locals groups too by searching \u2018sayonara sales\u2019 or \u2018mottainai\u2019 and the area, for example, \u2018sayonara sales Osaka\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
