Management
The management company cleans the common areas twice a month. However, we ask all residents to clean up after themselves and keep shared spaces tidy after each use.
Event
We organize various events such as welcome parties, farewell parties, fireworks, and BBQs. Many other activities also happen naturally when sharemates discover common interests and hobbies.
We encourage you to keep an open mind, go with the flow, and enjoy trying new things together with your sharemates!
Cost
One of the biggest advantages of living in a share house is the great value for money.
The only initial fee is a ¥15,000 administrative fee, making it possible to enjoy a comfortable stay at an affordable price, even for a relatively short period of time.
Friend
Family members and friends are welcome to stay with you.
If you have a guest staying overnight, please let the shared LINE group know in advance. An additional fee of ¥1,000 per night applies.
House Viewing
We ask all prospective residents to view the house before moving in.
This allows you to get a feel for each house’s concept, atmosphere, and living environment. We will also have a short conversation with you during the viewing.
We welcome residents who feel, “I would love to live here!” after getting to know the house and its atmosphere.
