Trying to rent Tokyo apartments as a non-Japanese (with some Japanese language when I started, in my 30s, with a job and valid residence status). Got shot down so many times. Technically illegal but good luck proving it was based on race to get any relief from it.

Unfortunately, you really have to bring a Japanese person with you when you're viewing apartments.

I found one before that was fine because of the additional stuff I mentioned above. We rented a house next time when I moved in with my wife (then girlfriend). We got pushback but it all worked out. Now I own a house so hopefully it's never an issue again.
