    Would you like to live in a share house in Japan? Let us know!

    Sharehouses are a great place to make friends and start your life in Japan! I remember living in one and it had a good mix of both students and working adults(both foreigners & Japanese). At night, we ALL partayyyyy in the house I loved it! 🥳🪩

    You know what? This is such a great and **affordable** living option if you’re trying to save money, or need an affordable housing option. It’s actually nice too and not some slummy place that would be depressing to live in. Kudos to Japan for offering these kinds of affordable yet nice and decent living options. I only wish something like this was available where I live (US) especially with the economic situation, inflation and recession. Thanks for sharing this!

    I lived in co-op housing in the USA as a foreign student and it included shared duties towards the communal needs of the co-op. One semester I did kitchen/cooking duties and another semester I worked on the maintenance crew. It was fun!

    This is crazy. College/Uni undergrads here live in "sharehouses" that aren't even 1/10th of the size of this one. If you're lucky, you'll end up maxing out at 10 people. This looks heavenly in comparison and I'm sure if anybody here saw it they'd gladly kill for it. Really cool place, I didn't even know accommodation for part-time earning young adults could be this good. The living spaces here are called a "mass" but they're usually just a mess.

      While it is usually pretty good, it always depends on the people staying there. During my stay at a share house, a uni class came from the netherlands and they wasted the place. 😅 Not properly cleaning up led to a bad smell. Luckily there was a second kitchen area and they drove everyone there 😂

    I’m way too much of an introvert to live in a share house, I’d be trying to avoid people in the living room and kitchen lol but it looks really nice! Love that garden sitting area. $600 for all that is not bad at all.

    • @TheBreezeShoot
      @TheBreezeShoot Рік тому +2

      I live in a share house currently and honestly about half or more are introverts in our community of houses (bout 50 people). But we have lots of welcoming parties, birthday parties and going away parties that are totally optional but also a great way to get out of your shell, then retreat to your room if you want. Pretty sure it’s similar in most places.

  • @jlang
    @jlang Рік тому +7

    This is so cool! Kento seems like an amazing guy who I'd love to be friends with, and practise my Japanese with. :) Also individual bathrooms - so nice! To draw a parallel, it seems kind of like a retirement village for young people (not a negative comment btw) and I love the shared spaces and natural light. Options to socialise casually are so important in a place like Tokyo.

  • @mizusenshi8172
    @mizusenshi8172 Рік тому +7

    This was pretty interesting! I wouldn't mind this kind of living arrangement honestly, even as an introvert. You still get privacy when you want it (the private bathrooms are definitely a plus!), but you can still have people to hang out with when you want to.
    Some of the manga on Kento's wall looked like it was in English, so I wonder if he's using manga to study English?? I know bilingual mangas exist in Japan for that very purpose.
    Also I haven't watched Spy x Family yet but I agree that Anya is very cute.

    Wow this looks and sounds pretty amazing. The goods, the price and also "foreigners" living there (i've heard there are still some landlords who refuse to rent to "foreigners").
    This may be a good starting point if you freshly move to japan (besides all the other hurdles to pass), also because of the easier contact to locals, who live there too and can help you in some things, different from other countries

    Question, do share houses do short term rentals for people who are looking to travel for an extended period of time? Like on a month by month basis? (We have that here in North Carolina, but 1 month rent is hundreds more per month than if you sign a 12-15month lease.)

    60,000 yen equals 372 British pounds. For all the facilities that is a good bargain. I live in a shared farm house, where I am the head tenant. My home is in SW Scotland with open rural views looking out over the Solway estuary and the Cumberland Fells beyond.

    I'd like a sharehouse like this but my GF wouldn't want that ... talked to her a few times about getting a cheap share house room if we manage to move to Japan but she absolutely doesn't want to and requires a flat with at least 50m² area, better bigger ...
    for me a share house with a small ~10m² private room would be sufficient at least for a few years.

  • @jc3drums916
    @jc3drums916 Рік тому +2

    The share house looks awesome, and the price is really good compared to what I'm used to. The only concerns for me are 1) the lack of personal space - one little cubby is not really enough pantry space, and some of us still like to use desktop computers with large/multiple monitors; and 2) I don't know if the portable ovens are enough for my purposes (although just having access to an oven in Japan seems like a big win) - anyone know the interior dimensions? I'd probably have to change up my cooking repertoire and downsize my lifestyle, which is very difficult when one plays furniture-sized musical instruments. If someone builds a share house for artists and musicians with an arts & crafts studio and a band rehearsal space, I'd be all over it.

      During uni, I lived with 1 full kitchen between 136 people, with kitchenettes (fridge, toaster, jug) between 36. It's completely doable if you're organized and schedule it, plus a lot of people eat out a lot instead anyway!

    The way Jordan said 'water' when talking about the toaster really caught me off gaurd. It's great each room gets it's own bathroom and toilet. Without knowing how much someone can earn part time in that area, it's hard to gauge the value of 60000 yen. I can't tell if it's the mic'ing but that music room doesn't seem sound proof enough. It seems fine with so few people around, but I think it would be really hard to move around with more than 50 people.

      I think a share house can be good if you want to make friends or if you want access to amenities and equipment without having to buy them yourself but I’ve heard share houses can be quite loud and your experience can depend on who is staying there. If everyone is nice and gets a long you can have a good time but if you don’t get a long then it can be quite annoying. Also, people tend to think share houses are a budget option but often you can rent a regular studio apartment in the area for about the same price.

    This share house seems pretty nice and I like the outside space but I’m not a big fan of the kitchen. There’s good appliances but it doesn’t feel like a nice place to cook. There’s not much counter space and it’s dark and has a cold feeling because it’s not decorated. Other people might be fine with it but that’s just my personal opinion and would be a deal breaker for this place. I would never feel motivated to cook in that kitchen.
