If you are worried about language barriers or finding a guarantor, choosing a management company that welcomes international residents will ensure a smooth process from signing your contract to getting settled in, even right after arriving in Japan.

While the 23 wards of Tokyo offer easy access to the city center, if you are looking to keep rent costs down, the Chiba and Kashiwa areas along the Sobu and Joban lines, or the Saitama area around the Keihin-Tohoku line and Omiya Station, are excellent options. In houses where staff or fellow residents are nearby, you can feel confident navigating daily life, from taking out the trash to handling municipal paperwork, even if you aren't fluent in Japanese.

Feel Like You're Studying Abroad While in Japan! Share Houses Welcoming Foreigners♪

A key feature of share houses is the shared entrance and living space, and share houses that welcome foreigners allow you to interact with people from other countries on a daily basis.

Many share houses with various concepts are designed for international co-living, often hosting regular social parties or offering language lessons, including English conversation. All properties are beautifully renovated, and simply visiting the stylish shared living room naturally expands your circle of interaction with people from diverse countries. If you are interested in foreign customs or languages but don't want to be overly involved, a smaller share house is recommended. Conversely, you might find yourself helping foreign residents who are struggling with Japanese customs, which can lead to natural friendships.

For those considering studying abroad in the future, share houses that welcome foreigners offer the great benefit of being able to experience various languages and customs in your daily life!♪
