"Finding a place to live in Atami, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a traditional Japanese house to a modern apartment. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Atami to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas might be closer to the beach, while others are near the city center or public transportation. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online real estate portals that list properties for rent or sale in Atami, such as Suumo, Homes, and Athome. These websites allow you to filter your search based on various criteria like price, location, size, and type of property. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent to help you with your search. They can provide you with valuable insights about the local market, help you negotiate the price, and guide you through the legal procedures. When you find a property that you're interested in, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and the surrounding area. If you decide to proceed with the property, you'll need to submit an application and provide necessary documents such as proof of income and identification. Once your application is approved, you'll sign a lease agreement and make the necessary payments, which typically include a deposit, rent, and possibly a realtor's fee. Finally, before moving in, you might need to set up utilities like electricity, water, and internet. Some properties might include these in the rent, so make sure to check with the landlord or real estate agent. Remember, finding a place to live in a foreign country can be challenging, so it's important to be patient and thorough in your search," said a member in Atami, Japan.
