Moving to Osaka for Work? A Furnished Share House Makes Life Easy

When relocating or changing jobs in Osaka, finding a new place to live can be one of the biggest challenges.
There’s little time to search for an apartment, furnishing is expensive, and you may not know anyone in the area.
That’s why share houses have recently become a popular solution for people starting a new chapter in Osaka.

This article introduces the benefits of choosing a share house when relocating or changing jobs—and highlights TESEN’s most recommended properties in Osaka and Hyogo.

1. Why finding housing during relocation or a job change is difficult

Many people moving to Osaka for work face two big challenges: a lack of time and unfamiliarity with the area.
Transfers are often sudden, leaving little time to visit properties in person.
And when you don’t know the city well, it’s hard to judge convenience, safety, and transportation access.

In such situations, housing itself becomes a major hurdle.
A share house offers a smart, low-cost, and short-term way to start life in Osaka quickly and comfortably.

2. Share House vs. Studio Apartment: Key Comparison Points

Let’s look at the specific reasons why share houses are becoming a preferred option for relocations and job-related moves.

2-1. Contract Duration and Flexibility

Most studio apartments require a two-year lease, but share houses often allow monthly or short-term contracts.
For those uncertain about how long they’ll stay after a transfer or job change, this flexibility is a major advantage.

2-2. Initial Costs and Furnishings

With a regular apartment, you’ll need to pay deposits, key money, agency fees, and buy furniture and appliances.
TESEN share houses, on the other hand, include all essentials—furniture, appliances, Wi-Fi, and utilities—so you can move in with just your suitcase.

2-3. Moving from Other Regions & Online Tours

If you’re moving to Osaka from another city or country, viewing properties in person can be difficult.
TESEN offers online tours that let you explore rooms and common areas from your computer or phone. The entire process—from viewing to signing—can be completed online, making relocation smooth and stress-free.

3. Real Stories from People Who Relocated

Here are some voices from people who moved into TESEN share houses during a job transfer or relocation:

“I moved from Tokyo to Osaka and had sold all my furniture, so finding a furnished share house was a real lifesaver.”
“On the first day, the staff showed me around the neighborhood, so I immediately knew where to shop and felt comfortable.”

Most residents say they chose a share house for three reasons: affordability, speed, and peace of mind.
At TESEN, community naturally forms among residents, so even those new to Osaka quickly feel connected and at home.

4. Introducing TESEN’s Flexible Plan

One of TESEN’s biggest attractions is the Flexible Plan.
It’s designed for professionals who experience frequent lifestyle changes due to transfers or new jobs, offering adjustable contract lengths and conditions.

4-1. Stay from One Month or Longer

You can stay for as short as one month or for a longer period depending on your life plans.
Whether you need temporary housing until your next transfer, or just want to “try living in Osaka” for a while, the plan fits your needs.

4-2. Easy Room Changes or Early Move-Out

You can easily move to another TESEN house or end your stay early if needed.
If your new job’s location changes or you’d like a different space, transfers are quick and simple.
With several houses across Osaka City, you can choose a location that best fits your lifestyle or commute.

4-3. Online Tours & Quick Move-In Available

For busy professionals, TESEN offers online viewing and digital contracts.
