Moving Cost Calculator

Factors Affecting Moving Costs

Moving costs in Japan vary significantly based on distance, luggage volume, timing, and crew size. During peak season (March-April), prices can be 1.5-2.5x higher than off-peak periods.

About This Tool

This calculator estimates moving costs based on typical Japanese moving company pricing, covering single-person to large family moves. It automatically calculates base fees plus distance surcharges (by tier: same city, near, medium, long distance), volume surcharges, and peak season premiums.

Initial Home Costs Estimation

You can also check estimated initial costs for your new home, including security deposits, key money, and agency fees. This tool assumes typical proportions: security deposit (1 month), key money (0.75 months average), and agency fee (0.5 months). However, these vary significantly by property type and region. New properties and UR rentals may not require deposits or key money.

Usage Notes

Use this calculator as a budget planning reference only. Actual quotes vary by moving company and specific conditions—always request official estimates from multiple movers for accurate pricing.
