Rooms of sharehouses in Japan

We believe that the most significant part of living in a share house is the interaction with the people you live with. If there are too many share mates, it’s hard to remember faces and names. But if there are too few, you may hardly have a chance to meet them. Taking these factors into consideration, when looking for a share house, be sure to check in advance how many share mates there will be.

What kind of facilities are available in the share house, such as the kitchen, bath, toilet, living room, dining room, and laundry facilities for shared use, is a very important factor.
Even if you think you’ve checked it out in the pictures, those pictures are most likely not up to date. If you’re applying to live in a share house without viewing it beforehand, be sure to check with the share house owner or management company for details on the facilities.
