Japan’s first cohabitation-focused service, “Trial Cohabitation,” which lets couples move in together for one month without upfront costs such as moving expenses or a rental deposit, has begun offering properties in Osaka.

Trial Cohabitation is designed to help couples try living together before marriage, with the goal of making it easy to get started. The service removes the usual barriers to cohabitation and minimizes expenses such as rental deposits, furniture purchases and moving costs, creating a simple way to test living together.

Starting to live together typically involves significant expenses, including a rental deposit, brokerage fees, furniture and appliance purchases, and moving costs. Standard residential leases are generally for two years, which can also make ending a cohabitation arrangement complicated.

Trial Cohabitation is Japan’s first service to make it easy to start and end a one-month trial stay in a fully furnished apartment.
