I stayed at the apartment for about a month. Overall, the stay was fine - the place was very clean, is a good size, and everything worked, although it is a little far from the nearest station. However, there was a significant problem with garbage collection. You have to pay to have garbage picked up during your stay (which of course will be absolutely necessary for anyone staying longer than a week or so, since there are very few publicly available rubbish bins in Japan and you are not allowed to use them for household waste in any case). This is not just a small nominal fee, but is 3960 yen to have up to 3 garbage bags picked up. This seems completely unreasonable to me particularly for someone staying at the property for a longer period of time, and was an unnecessary hassle to deal with. I can't think of any other situation of having stayed at an apartment where I have had to pay an additional (large) fee for rubbish collection. While I understand the reason for this charge, it still leaves me very dissatisfied as someone staying for a long time at this property. I would recommend that the company renting this apartment increase the cleaning fee and introduce a rubbish collection every week or two weeks for people staying for longer periods of time.
