Apartments for Rent in Katano-shi, Osaka

Looking for apartments for rent in Osaka? Osaka is Japan's second-largest city and one of the most affordable major metros for foreign residents, with rents typically 30-40% lower than comparable units in central Tokyo. The prefecture draws a large international community thanks to its universities, manufacturing and tech employers, and a relaxed, food-loving culture that's often easier for newcomers to settle into. Arealty's Osaka listings span the dense, walkable wards of Osaka City — Kita, Chuo, Tennoji — as well as nearby cities like Sakai, Higashiosaka, and Suita for tenants who want more space at a lower price point. Each listing shows rent, layout, size, nearest stations on the Osaka Metro or JR lines, and initial-cost terms such as no key money or no guarantor required, which removes one of the biggest hurdles foreign renters face in Japan. Use the filters to narrow by ward, train line, or budget, and search with confidence knowing every listing comes with English-language support from inquiry through contract signing.
