Why Osaka is a Great City for Expats and Students
Are you considering a move to Japan to work or study? Osaka might just be the perfect place to start your new chapter. Known for its friendly locals, vibrant culture, and delicious street food, Osaka is a welcoming city that offers a great quality of life for expats and international students alike.
A Warm and Welcoming Community
One of the first things people notice about Osaka is the warmth of its people. Compared to Tokyo, life here feels more relaxed and personal. Whether you’re ordering takoyaki from a food stall or asking for directions, locals are often happy to help — even with limited English. For newcomers, this makes settling in much easier.
Convenient and Affordable Living
Living in Osaka is generally more affordable than in Japan’s larger cities like Tokyo or Yokohama. Neighborhoods like Moriguchi, Tennoji, and Nishinari offer convenient access to public transportation, shops, and schools or offices — all while being budget-friendly. At Apollo Properties, we provide fully furnished apartments and share houses designed with international tenants in mind. Our homes are move-in ready, with flexible terms to make your transition smoother.
Ideal for Students and Young Professionals
Osaka is home to several respected universities and vocational schools, attracting students from around the world. With its central location in the Kansai region, students and professionals can easily travel to Kyoto, Kobe, or Nara for weekend trips or academic exchanges. The city also offers a growing number of international companies and part-time work opportunities for those with a valid visa.
