February is here! How was your first month of 2025?
Borderless House, an international share house where people from different cultures live together, hosted a special New Year gathering for past and current residents on January 18, 2025!
Over 60 participants from Tokyo’s Borderless House joined in on the fun, bonding over Japanese calligraphy, interactive games, and a great time meeting new friends.
Take a look at some of the highlights from this exciting start to the year!
Borderless House Tokyo tenants joined forces for a fun cultural exchange!
From traditional calligraphy to a lively rock-paper-scissors train game, it was a day full of energy and new friendships.
More than 60 past and current Borderless House residents from 40+ houses across Tokyo joined the event! ✨
With diverse backgrounds in nationality, career, and gender, residents quickly started introducing themselves, asking—”Which house are you from?”— or joyfully reconnecting with old friends from past events.
From English to Japanese and beyond, the event was a true celebration of cultural exchange!
Even those who said, “I can’t speak English at all…” quickly bonded with international residents who spoke Japanese. Whether through casual conversations or just going with the flow, new friendships naturally formed!
During the Kakizome activity, teams chose words or pictures to draw. Some panicked, saying, “I have no idea how to write kanji!”
With a little help—Google searches and brush-holding tips from Japanese participants—everyone had a blast!
Even our international housemates mastered writing kanji beautifully!
The Janken Train game, with exciting New Year’s prizes, was a huge hit! Beyond language exchange, fun activities brought everyone closer together, expanding friendships.
