01Concept

Share house residents from all over the world have come together for a variety of reasons, such as quitting their jobs to go on a workaholism, former XX army, studying dance abroad, internships, graduation from living at home, going to college, and so on. The variety of reasons for coming here is like a department store.

　The days spent in such a place, talking without any restraints, are filled with opportunities to gain a view of the world and to make allies.

　We emphasize the following four points in our management.

1 By having non-Japanese residents move in, we have created an environment where international exchange can take place and be shared even though they are in Japan.

2 We have a system in place that allows everyone to live together in harmony with the rules and systems that we have developed over the past 10 years of share house management.

3 We provide a better living environment by having our staff clean the share house twice a month, rather than leaving the cleaning to the residents.

4 We will continue to take on new challenges as the leading share house company in Kobe.

　No one is perfect. There are people who like to get together with others, and there are people who like to work alone. There are many different types of people, so there are different strengths and weaknesses. If that is the case, we should compensate for each other. When we are in trouble, it is up to each other. That’s why we should all support each other. We want this share house to be a place where anyone can live comfortably.

　The Internet and social networking services have become commonplace, and we live in a society where we can connect with all kinds of people on our screens. While the number of connections has increased, the number of reliable connections has decreased. Rather than relationships based on merit or demerit, it is becoming more important to have a relationship in which you can offer something of yourself to the other person, in other words, “ties”.

　We believe that by adding “warmth” to share houses and other places where people interact with each other, warmth will envelop the city, creating not superficial connections, but connections from the heart, deep connections, “ties”, that will lead to important partnerships, such as business, marriage, etc., and progress into the future. A society in which partners are born one after another and move into the future. A society full of people who want to cherish as many “connections” as they have, and who eventually want to cherish everyone in the world. We aim for such a society.

03Messege from President

Nice to meet you, I’m Tamai of Machiake Corporation, the company that manages International Sharehouse.I would like to explain how we started the share house. It is a long story, but I hope you will take the time to read it.

In 2010, I became a company employee and tried my hardest, but somehow it didn’t work out, I wasn’t appreciated, I made mistakes, and my colleagues made fun of me. I left my souvenirs at home to take to sales destinations, and fell asleep during meetings with my boss’s boss. Only my overtime hours were the longest. I was such an employee.

Until I became a company employee, I thought that if I worked hard, I could get results in whatever I did. However, even though I tried, it did not work out, and I spent many days feeling depressed and wondering what kind of problem I had. In such a situation, when I saw people who were being evaluated, I guessed that all I had to do was to think about what the company and my boss wanted me to do. However, I could not accept a life of striving for that all my life, and I was looking for something to devote myself to.

It was during this time that I came across a co-working space introduced to me by a friend from high school. People of the same age and from completely different backgrounds gathered there to discuss their dreams and society. I unintentionally stayed there until late at night. I thought that with this kind of meeting scene, even I, who could not adapt well to the company, might change. I realized that out of all the businesses I could find, a share house with a diverse group of people was the best place to have such encounters, and I decided to start one.

I posted a notice on an Internet bulletin board asking for share house mates to live in available rooms, and one after another, interesting people came to stay. An Italian who loves Mt. Rokko, a Taiwanese entrepreneur, and a Japanese muscle training fanatic. All of them were people who were determined and came to change themselves. Even though I often spend lazy weekends living alone, sharing my private life with active members has made each day more fulfilling.

From the Italians, I was moved by beautiful things and learned the joy of living; from the Taiwanese, I learned the spirit to challenge myself by changing my environment; and from the Japanese, I learned the strength to stoically carry out what I have decided to do. Although we are in completely different circumstances, I learned from them, “I want to do something new. I want to change. I want to do what I want to do. I will never forget the days I spent with friends who shared the same goal: “I want to do something new, I want to make a change, and I want to live the life I want to live. I also wished that more people with the same problems could experience this experience and live a richer life.

Unfortunately, there are few rental houses in Japan that are suitable for short-term residence with challenges, such as for foreigners or entrepreneurs, and even if there are, most of them are small, tacky, and surplus, not being chosen. We want to provide housing that is comfortable and stylish for people who are taking on challenges such as coming to Japan alone from abroad or starting a business, and we also want to create housing where people who want to do the same in the future can move in and interact with each other. We are in the share house business with this in mind, and currently operate 12 share houses.

Tomohiro Tamai, President of Mathiake Inc.
