You've gotta be stupid if you left the freest country in the world for the higheays. And at that, went to the country that invaded many others and intended to genocide them for their culture to be the only one. Thats silly
Here's the situation where lost keys are a problem for a suite:
In Tokyo, you can likely replace the lock yourself by buying a new cylinder at a home center like Komeri or Viva Home and swapping it, which is common for rentals if you get landlord approval, but a locksmith is safer for security if you're unsure or dealing with high-security locks, especially if it's a rental where you need permission to change locks for security reasons, as a professional ensures proper fitting and security against lost keys.
DIY vs. Locksmith in Tokyo
DIY (Recommended for simple locks):
Where: Large home centers (Home Centers) like Komeri, Viva Home, Cainz, or Musashi sell standard lock cylinders and sets.
How: Measure your existing lock (type, backset, etc.) and buy a compatible replacement cylinder or full lockset. Replacing just the cylinder (the part the key goes into) is often easy.
Pros: Cheaper, you can do it immediately.
Cons: Requires some DIY skill; might not be suitable for high-security or complex locks.
Locksmith (Recommended for security/complex locks):
When: If you're worried about security, have complex locks (like high-security or electronic), or just want peace of mind.
Pros: Professional installation, expertise with various locks, ensures security against the "lost" keys.
Cons: Costs more; may require finding a local, English-speaking service in Tokyo.
Rental Property Considerations (Crucial!)
Permission is Key: For rental apartments in Japan, you must get approval from your landlord or management company before changing locks, even if keys are lost, for security reasons.
Cost: You'll likely pay for new keys/locks, but it's standard for security after a move-in or lost keys.
We got tired of traffic so we moved to one of the most densely populated areas in the world… Yeah pretty much standard for somebody who pushed their entire life for on social media

Panty snatchers? No way? Do they not

I actually lived in a place that was all I needed in a great neighborhood in Tokyo for $500 a month.
Can’t you change the locks yourself?!

The keys things wouldn't work on me, I'm a carpenter I'd just be like "Oh I can switch out the locks, no problem!"

Why don't you just move to Germany? Everybody's already speaking English and it's no suburban Hellscape like in the US.
The view is fucking gnarly
