Common Questions

How far in advance should I contact GoWONDR?

As early as you like. Reaching out early lets us plan around your arrival, though the apartment search itself usually starts about one to two months before your move-in date, since landlords in Japan rarely hold a place much further out.

How long does it take to find an apartment?

Usually two to four weeks from the start of the search to signing: a couple of weeks to find the right options, then a week or two for application and screening. It varies with your budget, location, and how flexible you can be.

When do I pay?

There's no charge to talk to us. We start with a free consultation to understand what you need and make sure we're the right fit, and you only pay once you decide to go ahead with the service.
