I can resonate with you!
The harsh homesick, the feeling of lost when someone used to get so close and had so many deep special connections with you just left😞
The housemates part is so heartwarming and cute ✨btw
Lots of memories at an international house as an exchange student, hit all the points spot on! Though my biggest issue was that many of the other exchange students were very messy and rowdy. This is a big reason I want my own place.
wonderful video, great job!
i just had the idea to create a new goal and study the japanese language abroad and maybe have a life there. I have been researching for a week and will be doing more research. But this video you created completely steered me away from finding apartments and i believe that is great because the idea of being able to live with people and experience things with them and to even bond with them sounds so more exciting than living by myself in an apartment. i truly appreciate this video and your input. hopefully i have more than enough money saved up in a year so i can begin my new journey to completing my goal in japan! THANK YOU!
Oh it really makes me happy to hear that, thank you! The good thing about a Share House is that you can move easily and fast if wanted and needed. And I think if you wish at some point to have your own apartment in Japan, you can do so, but at least you don't have the pressure and can visit apartments in person, which is a big advantage!
I wish you all the best for your Japan prep 🤗 Let me know how it goes!
This made me feel so safe and understood 🥺✨ thank you for this. I'm planning to go to Osaka this October. I am planning to live in a share house, so this video was really useful 💞
I do have a question though, how do you guys manage the laundry and showering situation? Is it chaotic or do y'all have a specific dynamic for it?
Aww! This makes me really really happy to hear! ❣️
I’m sure you’ll have a blast in Osaka. Kansai people are fun! 😁
As for your question. It really depends in the smaller share house we only had one laundry per floor and one shower. So it was sometimes busy, but everyone kind of had a different work schedule so it worked out most of the time.
As for my current share house, no problem at all, every floor has 3 laundry machines and in the first floor we have additional ones. Also we have a lot of shower rooms and even bath tubs 😊
Some Share house companies which provide English services are GGhouse, Sakura house and Oakhouse. Some of them even offer apartments to rent.
Aaaah did you make to Osaka?
Good info on share house as a housing option . Another obstacle breaker for moving to Japan. 👍
Thank you. I’m glad it is if help 😁✨
About to move into a sharehouse and this video made me feel way less anxious hahaha thank you so much!
Thank you. I wish you all the best and hope you’ll have great house mates! ☺️
How is it?
Yes I subscribed. Thank you Looking for more info on whatever you have.
Having learned how cheap they are per month, I'm wanting to stay at a share house the next time I visit Tokyo. A month would give me plenty of time to not only indulge in my hobbies, (Anime, games and manga) but it would give me more time to explore the city, and check out all the cool stuff it has to offer.
Yeah that’s true, definitely cheaper than a hotel! You just might have to reserve it early, as they might favor people who want to stay longer than a month.
Also if you spend less money on hotel you can spend that on more merch🤩🤩🤩
definitely it's fun to hang out with share mates:)
I think so too😊 especially if you move here alone it’s nice to have someone around.
Omg thank you for this very informative and positive video! I do hope you decide to get your own place so you can get your cat back🐈 ❤️ I have two cats and couldn’t live without them, no human on this planet can compare to the love of a pet. Stay safe! Please make more vids of ur life in Japan!😁
Thank you for your comment ❤️ I just moved into an apartment. Unfortunately in Tokyo almost all apartments do not allow pets 🥺
But the main reason I’m leaving Sonic with my friend in Germany is, because he has been taking care of him ever since I left for Japan. He’s taking such good care of him and they got so attached to each other since he had to start remote work due to covid. It would be egoistic to just bring him here (also the struggles with flight etc) just for me to have him. If that makes sense. Even though it breaks my heart💔
The share house you're in is too good to be true lol. That's insane how good it is.
Yes it’s really nice! It’s a fairly new concept to have “luxurious” Share houses! I love it❣️
I just subscribed. i want to thank you, I am trying to get out in to the world. I've always wanted to live in japan Osaka to get to the point. could u make a video on how to get a job in japan, like the easiest jobs that would hire foreigners. idk something like that. Thank you for helping pick where to stay when i head out there. :)
Hi Jessica,
May I ask you something? I have been looking at some share houses in Tokyo since I will be moving there in a couple of weeks and the big ones (50 - 80 rooms) always look way better but also seem intimidating. Do you have any more tips concerning big share houses. Or when you should consider small/big ones? I will be staying in Tokyo for 6 months so I want to make the correct decision haha
I'm looking into moving to Japan for a few months I'm learning Japanese but far from holding a conversation but I'm interested in the living possibilities of share houses
I have decided to live in a share house as I want to meet to new people and actually make friends in Japan 😅💕
That sounds amazing! I’m sure you’ll have a blast!✨🥳
Awesome and very informative video. I am also planning to move Tokyo next year, can you please share some website links to find affordable share house? Thanks in advance
Thank you, I’m so glad❗️I wish you all the best. Let me know if it worked out.
These are two cheaper Share house companies that offer services in English. I used to be with GGHouse
Sakura House

@@jessicaao400 Thank you so much for sharing these links.
To me it would be an option to live in a share house and I am also interested in living in a share house. Very helpful and valuable information. Thank you for sharing these insights and your guidance. I'm on a quest of learning japanese and I hope I can make it to Japan sometime. Love and respect 🙂
Thank You! You are welcome 😊 Good luck with learning Japanese! Starting with Hiragana and Katakana helps a lot, as a small advice 🤗
Hi,
my wife and I want to move into your second sharehouse soon, would you recommend this one?
Thank you so much for this video!!! I've been looking for a sharehouse before moving to Japan and this helped out a lot. Knowing that you moved out, is it possible for you to say what the name of this sharehouse is? Thank you
The name of the Sharehouse company is Oakhouse the Sharehouse itself is Social Residence Ojima. It is a bit pricey compared to a regular Sharehouse. I definitely recommend checking out the company Borderless as they’re really doing a lot in regards of community in their Sharehouses and organise a lot of events for their tenants to meet each other 😊
@@jessicaao400 thank you very much, your help really means a lot 😁
Is it possible to tell the name of your share house? currently I live in an apartment but my roommate is leaving soon and I can't pay the rent by myself. Thank you in advance!
Hi! Thank you for this video. Could you please let me know the name of the second share house you moved into. :)
The company is called Oakhouse and this is the Ojima Residence 😊
Hello, I am interested in a Share House situatuion. Im looking to be there in the spring. iF you can send me info regarding frees I would be happy . Thank you
Which share house is this..kindly let me know plz ?
Hello. I would like to know how you found the share house. Please tell me the website or something useful that you used?
I found out about this Sharehouse company through a coworker and the one before that was organized by the agency I went to Japan with.
I personally can recommend the Sharehouse company Borderless. Many of my friends live with them and they do a lot in terms of building communities!
Other companies would be:
Sakura house
Oakhouse
GG House
Hope that is helpful 😊
what is the name of the shared house company that you lived in? ❤️
The company is called Oakhouse and this specific Sharehouse was Ojima residence. It was quite convenient as it wasn’t to far away from Shinjuku.
Share house in Philippines is a room for rent only
which share house company you choose ?
Its called Oakhouse. Some of my friends also recommend Sakura house and borderless.
You mentioned in your past share house no guests were allowed but no one cared...how about your current share house?
In my current one guests are allowed you can even invite up to 6 people and spend time with them in the shared areas. But due to the restrictions because of corona, we are "only" allowed to have guests in our own room.
So share house in Japan it is own by a company
Most of the times yes. I heard that there are Sharehouses that are owned by private people as well. But companies are more common.
your presenting style is a little awkward but i appreciate the insights you gave. i am thinking of moving into a sharehouse and this video helped me make my decision
I'm looking into moving to Japan for a few months I'm learning Japanese but far from holding a conversation but I'm interested in the living possibilities of share houses
That sounds awesome. I guess sharehouse would be the best option in that case 😊 good luck with your planning ✨
