Staying in Japan can be a little bit tricky, especially for newcomers. For those who want to live in Japan for a longer period of time, say a month to a year, finding a place to stay would be hard. Though there are vacant apartments around, most of them are quite expensive. The solution to this problem is opting to live in a Japanese sharehouse.
A sharehouse is somehow similar to living in a dorm wherein you share the utilities and the common areas such as the dining room, living room, and the kitchen. Most sharehouses have individual rooms where you can have your privacy. Most sharehouses are also fully furnished with beds, tables, and air conditioners. Compared to an apartment where you have to buy all the things for yourself first,a sharehouse is a great option for a temporary living space in Japan.
Some prefer to live in sharehouses to lessen their expenses in accommodation because it is much cheaper compared to apartments and hotels. Frequent residents of share houses include students and employees from other parts of the country or abroad.
Sharehouses are best for people who want to socialize as there are always sharehouse parties once in awhile. This is to maintain good relations with your neighbors and a great way to meet new friends. Foreigners are frequent residents of sharehouse so this is a good opportunity for them to learn and understand new culture!
Living in Japan can be much easier and more fun if you try living in a sharehouse!
