Planning to spend a long holiday in Japan? If yes, you might be considering renting an apartment as it’s a more affordable option compared to the traditional hotel. If you’re not yet sure where to base yourself, we recommend the central city of Nagoya. Its convenient location will allow you to travel anywhere in the country without much effort. And it’s much less crowded than Tokyo.

Planning your itinerary is easy if you rent an apartment in Nagoya. Want to immerse yourself in a modern Japanese metropolis? The two megacities of Tokyo and Osaka are both easily accessible. You can even revisit them multiple times during your stay. Want to learn more about traditional Japanese culture? The ancient capital of Kyoto is a short distance away. Nagoya is at the center of everything, so even outer islands like Hokkaido and Okinawa aren’t too far off.

It’s also a visitor-friendly city in the sense that you’ll be able to find real estate agents that can communicate in various languages rather easily. Countless students major in foreign languages and many Nagoyaites are multilingual. It’s not unusual for people to have jobs that involve communicating with other countries. Rest assured that language barriers won’t be much of a problem.
