TEMPORARY HOUSE

What TEMPORARY HOUSE does

日本テンポラリーハウス株式会社 (Japan Temporary House Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Tokyo-based real estate services firm founded in 1989 that specializes in intermediating short-term rental housing (仮住まい, "temporary housing") for homeowners undergoing residential reconstruction, renovation, or remodeling in the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area. The company operates as a brokerage and property manager, listing 3,000+ properties as of September 2024 and claiming over 30,000 cumulative intermediations since founding, positioning itself as the No.1 temporary housing inventory holder in the Tokyo region. Its product set spans standard short-stay units, the QUALITÉ (カリテ) premium sub-brand, and related referrals (moving companies, storage, insurance), with a related group entity (テンポラリーハウスサービス株式会社) extending into homeowner-facing temporary lending services.

The core service is human-driven: each customer is assigned a dedicated coordinator who manages the full lifecycle from initial inquiry (via toll-free phone 0120-078-280, LINE, or email) through property selection, builder and mover coordination, and utility contract procedures. Lease terms are flexible starting at one month, addressing a structural gap in the Japanese rental market where standard contracts typically require 12-month minimums. Property discovery is facilitated through the company's website integrated with the at home portal, with content marketing via a dedicated blog authored by consultants (notably Ikutaro Sakota) and organic social distribution on Facebook and X.

The business model is transaction-fee based, earning revenue from intermediation commissions and management of owned properties; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by area, unit size, and term length, with monthly rents quoted broadly between 60,000 and 200,000 JPY. The company is bootstrapped, with no evidence of venture capital, private equity, or public listing, and operates from a single headquarters in Ogikubo, Suginami-ku, Tokyo with a small team of 11–50 employees organized into a Temporary Housing Division and a Real Estate Management Division.

Emerging players

• Blueground: Blueground is a tech-enabled furnished apartment provider operating in major global cities. It offers flexible lease terms for business and relocating customers with a focus on technology-driven booking and on-demand experience, representing an emerging tech-enabled competitor in the temporary housing category.

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Airbnb is a global short-term rental platform. While its core focus is vacation and leisure travel, it increasingly competes for temporary housing demand and provides an alternative channel for customers needing furnished short-term accommodations in Tokyo.

Direct peers

• The Ascott Limited: The Ascott Limited operates serviced residences across Asia Pacific including Japan under brands such as Citadines and Somerset. Its temporary housing solutions for business and relocating customers overlap directly with Temporary House's offering, particularly for the corporate and project-based housing segment.
