If you are looking for a share house in the Kansai or Chubu regions that welcomes international residents, the best approach is to focus on Osaka and Hyogo, specifically targeting properties with lower hurdles for guarantors and Japanese language requirements.
In Osaka, areas along the Midosuji Line—which offers easy access to Umeda and Namba—as well as the Kobe-Sannomiya area are popular choices. An increasing number of properties now provide move-in screenings and house rules in multiple languages, making it easier to get settled even if you have just arrived in Japan.
- To keep costs down, consider share houses in Kansai that allow double occupancy to split the rent.
- If you prioritize modern facilities, check out renovated properties in Kansai.
- To explore options in other regions, search our list of share houses welcoming international residents.
