Thinking of installing an extra aircon in your Japan rental? Watch this first.

In this video, I share why I decided to get a standalone heater instead of installing another air conditioner in Japan — even though reviews say it’s an electricity hog.

If you’re a mid-career professional (especially from Singapore or Asia) planning to work or relocate to Japan with kids, this is something most landlords and relocation agents won’t explain clearly:

In Japan, if you install additional aircon units, you’re often responsible for removal when you move out.

Even if you offer to leave it behind for free, management may require restoration.

Wall drilling, wiring, and repairs must be returned to original condition.

Maintenance costs are fully on you.

And navigating all this with near zero Japanese? Not easy.

So instead of increasing long-term liability, I chose a simpler solution — and in this video, I assemble it and explain my thought process.

This series is for professionals who want realistic, ground-level insight about living and relocating to Japan — not just travel vlogs.
