Moving to Tokyo

Relocation services in Tokyo

Tokyo relocation planning begins with the office and the rail journey that will shape your day. A role around Marunouchi, Shibuya, or another district can lead to different housing options. Gullie coordinates the agreed housing, immigration support, moving, and settling-in services around your household and the practical timing of arrival.

Planning life in Tokyo

Use Tokyo Metro information as one reference for the city’s rail connections, and check other operators where the complete journey requires them. Include transfers, station exits, and the final walk to the office. Two homes near the same named station can still offer different daily access.

Assess room dimensions and building access before choosing a shipping inventory. Clarify what is furnished and what support you need for housing communication and local appointments. A temporary first stay can allow time to evaluate the longer-term home in person.

Check the official transport information for Tokyo.

What your relocation plan includes

For Tokyo, the agreed housing brief should include the workplace, acceptable transfers, household space needs, and communication preferences. Gullie can coordinate the search and provider work around those details. Confirm documentation and specialist requirements for the actual move, then schedule delivery once the home and building access are established.

We begin by agreeing the scope: who is moving, the origin, your intended arrival, and the budget or employer policy. Your preferences and any existing arrangements shape the plan. You should know which services are included, which decisions need your approval, and where a specialist or external provider is involved.

Housing support starts with a brief and a discussion of suitable options. Immigration support, where needed, is coordinated with the appropriate professionals. Moving and shipping arrangements depend on the belongings involved and the route. Family and settling-in support can be included in the agreed scope.

The Gullie platform gives the move a shared place for its details, documents, and timeline. As decisions are made, the team coordinates the agreed next steps. Before work begins, request a written scope and a breakdown of the expected service and provider costs.
