Share House

Sharing accommodation is, by far, the best way to make friends and gives you a fair amount of freedom. Share houses are usually owned by Japanese people or foreigners and are more spacious than room shares. You will get your own private room, but share other facilities such as kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and living room with other residents. Usually, other residents are Japanese people and foreign students, which means more opportunities to make local and international friends and share the fun! Share houses that we have arranged are located within 30-45 minutes by public transport to our school. Please note that this option is available for students who intend to stay for at least four weeks. Internet access is provided.

Room Share

Sharing accommodation is, by far, the best way to make friends and gives you a fair amount of freedom as other residents may not be at home all the time. You will share your room with another student (maximum of two persons in one room), as well as other facilities such as kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and living room with your flatmate(s). Also, please note that meals are not included, and you are expected to look after yourself. Most of these accommodations are located within 30 minutes by bus or train to our school. Please be aware that a 20.000JPY deposit is required (fully refundable). Guest rules might apply. Room share is available for students who intend to stay for a minimum of two weeks.
