【Ridilover x Borderless House】We held a study tour to learn multiculturalism in our international share house

Hi ! This is Yuya of Borderless House, and I am in charge of this blog .

Today’s story is about high school student who come to Borderless House for class trips.

The main mission of this trip is to break down the unconcern to society.

We held this trip with Ridilover, a general incorporated foundation who held a lot of study tour business to high school students and adults.

This time, 30 students from Hiroshima and Nagasaki came to Borderless House and we did 2 study tours.

I am going to explain the Nagasaki student trip.

Borderless House become a destination of school trip !? ~ We have thought about multiculturalism~

Why we have to do some experience of social challenges in a share house?

think some people have this question in mind.

Borderless house is a place in which ” Youth people from everywhere in world live together and experience different cultures together“.

and our goal is to make a society which ” regardless the country you came from, everyone is respecting multiculturalism.”

“Do you want to try to hold a study tour about multiculturalism at a sharehouse ?”

It was a 2-hour tour.

During the tour, we have first a discussion and a workshop about “multiculturalism in Japan” with our foreigners tenants.

First, let look at the house ! The first time to enter in a share house!

For highschool student who is living with their parents, sharehouse is an unknown area.

They all know about it because of TV but they don’t know about life in it. So, we invite them to have a house tour at the beginning.

We calculate the interior of the house to be able to promote communication.

For example, in Hounancho house, you have to pass over the living room to get access to your room. So people interact naturally in the house and greeting like “welcome back” or “I am back!” happen.

and by making an atmosphere that communication is usual, the interaction between Japanese tenants and foreign tenants become easier.

When we are explaining the concept and the interior, some students said that they wanted to live in this house.If you are planning to move to Tokyo or Kansai area, we are welcome to receive you!We are waiting for you !

What are you going to bring to a deserted island ? Let have a international communicatio by workshop

After the house tour, let have a workshop.

Before the study tour, we have asked our student to prepare some answers
The question was: think about every contact you have with foreigners.

The answers of highschool students were: the shopman of a convenience store, exchange student, teacher of ELT, tourist, etc…

If we put attention, foreigners are everywhere in our life.

However, when we ask them if they talk to them, most students say no.

We have asked them the reasons. They cannot talk about the language or they don’t have the opportunity to meet them.

But the main reason is that they feel scary to not be able to understand each other by not having the same values.

But do you think the way to think is going to differ from the country you have born?

We cannot understand each other if we don’t talk the same language?

As a student do not have interaction with foreigners, it is not easy to have an answer to this question. So, we invite some tenants of Borderless House to create interaction.


The theme of the workshop is easy.

If you have to go to a deserted island, and you can bring 3 items, what are you going to bring?

Have a talk with your team and decide it!

All our tenants were people who just have come to Japan and everyone can speak only English or another language.

In the beginning, the student has some difficulties to tell the name of the item they want to bring. But they start to communicate by easy word, some imitation and by drawing.

By seeing the effort of our high school students, our tenant did also some effort to communicate by using easy English word or the Japanese word they know
In the beginning, they were a distance between tenants and students.

However, after they have finished the workshop, they were all became friendly.

” It was not easy to tell the item or group our idea. but everyone was so kind that I wanted to talk to them more.”

We could get some good comment from highschool student.

Neighbor from foreign country is grworing up ! Do you want to know more about each other ?

In 2018, 31million people come to Japan. And in 2020, the year of Olympics, we expect that more than 40 million people are going to visit Japan.

In addition, they are 26.3 million of people living in Japan, which mean 1/50 of people in Japan are foreigners.

And because of the aging population, Japan is planning to recruit 30 thousand to 14.5million of foreigners to fill the lack of workforce in the domain of nursing care and healthcare.
Interaction between foreigners is important for Japan and the Japanese people.
However, governmental support in the domain of language and public administration are not in good condition yet. So for foreigners, it is not easy to live in Japan.

In our usual life, it is difficult to find an opportunity to meet and make foreign friends.

I am too bad to make a wall because of the country or difference od culture even if we are living in the same country.

They are not people from a different country, we are and they are our neighbors

We want to make our city, and our country better all together

This is how Borderless House think about coexistence.

They are no wall of language. The most important think is the sentiment that you want to tell to this person.

” When I sit down on the train, nobody wants to sit next to me.”

“When I go to Udon or Soba restaurant, the staff serve me some spoon and fork instead of the chopstick.”

” I can speak a little bit of Japanese. However, even I ask the road in Japanese, they just say: sorry I don’t speak English and avoid us.”

These are the answers to our tenants when we ask them if they have ever experienced prejudice in Japan.
” I think the Japanese are very kind and friendly, and Japan is an interesting country easy to live in. You know, we really like to live in Japan and we really want to interact more with Japanese.

About the chopstick, I think it is the kindness of the staff, so I feel happy.
I really want to communicate more, Like that, we can understand more each other. “

After they listen to the voice of our tenants during the workshop, students left us these comments ( image ).

 

When we live in Japan, we are not trying to avoid or foreigners.

I think, our shyness and our over-kindness keep away from foreigners and the distance between us has increased.

Thanks to this tour, we had this feeling to be able to create more opportunity to meet people from diffenrent background.

What is the multiculturalism that Borderless House want to spread to the society?

Borderless house has started 12 years before.

At this time, the number of foreigners was not like today. And many problems like people could not borrow a room or get some social security. In the hospital, as they were not a translator, it was not easy to get good healthcare.


In addition, because we have different culture, we believe in a different religion, we talk different languages, they were many Japanese who have a prejudice toward foreigners.

We wanted to change this society, we wanted to take all the distance and the misunderstanding between Japanese and foreigners. This is why in order to know each other, we have started an international interacting share house business.

Since we have started the business, the number of foreigners has increased and Japanese society became more globalized.
In our sharehouse, we have some trouble between tenants because of language or culture.
but by having a face to face communication and the action to try to solve the problem with patience, lead us to find new values.

And coexistence between people who have different backgrounds is not as difficult as you think. Just small respect for people who have different backgrounds and enjoy differences is needed.

We think this is the way to our ideal multicultural society

Borderless house will continue to try to create a multiculturalist society!

This study tour help to our high school students to understand and experience multiculturalism.

In 2020, we are going to try to hold 10 study tours with Ridilover, and we will continue to tell about multiculturalism, understanding different cultures and diversity to the society.

We are also doing a lecture and discourse about how multiculturalism is appearing from Borderless House. or how Japanese and foreigners can live together in the future?

We are looking forward to be able to meet you soon !

So, CHECK IT OUT !!

International interaction and Christmas Party represent so much Borderless House !

                 

In Borderless House, we organize twice a year a party with 80 to 100 people who are living in our sharehouse!

Christmas wich I am going to explain to you is one of the big events! Every year, a lot of our sweet tenant is joining the party. However, this year was not the same year as usual.

MORE than 120 people come to our party. What is going to happen to this memorable party? All the staff was surprised at the beginning!

When we start the reception, a HUGE line of people was in front of us.
and the event space becomes full in a second!

The receptionist, the bar, and the cloak were full of person and everybody was an assembly into the room.

We could hear people in many spaces starting to cheers because they could not wait for the beginning of the party. That represents our tenant so well!

They could not wait to start to interact with people and start to enjoy the conversation. Their communication skills are so remarkable!

And the sweet cute person who was charged to do the facilitator is our tenant!

Thank you always, Ashley !!

The facilitation of Ashley, gives a tremendous boost to the atmosphere of the party!

You cannot say that you are shy! A very close linkage program heat the party!

The theme of this year’s Christmas party is “extends beyond the house, the nationality and the connection !“

This year, we invite tenants, people who reserve a room of Borderless House, people who are interested in international interaction and people’s friends!

The fact that a lot of people with different backgrounds can come is one of the characteristics of the party.

This is the reason why we always prepare some good programs in order to make the com munition between people easier! So, even you are a little shy, it is completely okay!

You will become quickly socialize with people around you! Let’s enjoy it!

You are my man of destiny ?! Number and color matching!

The first program is called number and color matching!

Everyone gets some wristband with a number and a color. You have to find the person who has the same color and number and form a group.

It is quite simple but fateful. In this huge universe, we all grew up in a different country, and we all gather in Tokyo and find together by coincidence.

Is it not fantastic ?!

Is it destiny ?!

All the groups did an introduction of themselves and the voltage of the room was in high gear! Everybody was so excited to find their fateful! People make some high-touch when they find they’re fateful!

 This meeting is forever!

We don’t need language, what we need is an only passion! Let’s do the gesture game!

The next program is a gesture game!

After we all find our fateful, let start the game! The winner of the game can get some luxury prizes!

Everyone thought that gesture game is easy, but it is not the case!

Even if it is difficult, cooperation leads us to win! Everybody makes their own gesture and express the theme.

The first theme was the one of the difficult ones!

“zoo” Everybody did some gestures about the gorilla, monkey, etc. and people answered the name of animals. However, the word “zoo” is not appearing.

The floor is in chaos.

I know, we are vicious that we make this theme. When almost every team finished answering, only 2 teams didn’t finish to answer.

Even they could say that they have finished even if it is unfinished, they did so much effort to do it properly!

All of our staff were touched by their passion.

We really wanted to give them some gifts!

In the floor mix of passion and chaos, the 2nd theme is … “Disney Land”! This is also a difficult theme! Everyone answered “mouse” or “Mickey”.

At the moment we regret a little bit that we make so much difficult theme, a team who answer 2 right answers appeared!

As is it a team made by only fateful, the heart-to-heart communication is working very well!

They get the luxury price !! We didn’t expect that the gesture game reaches a fever pitch!

Are you interested in the content of the gift?

A set of world craft beer AND Order-made leather products from JOGGO AND AND a huge box of different sweets etc. Some presents from Borderless Santa!

We all envy….

Who are going to get the next prizes ?! The exciting bingo game!

We cannot forget the face Bingo game of Borderless House!
It became an annual event but let me explain the rule!


Borderless bingo is not a normal bingo game.

The face of each people who are coming to the Christmas party is becoming a number!

Thanks to you we can play the bingo game and thank to you someone can get the prize ! It is a very special bingo game.

Let start the bingo!

Everybody is paying attention to the face of people turning around!

This year, we choose as a prize: Amazon card, Borderless T-shirt, as a small present,  land of Moon which gets famous in Terrace House and A5 rank ( higher quality ) Matsuzaka-beef!

And finally, don’t forget … 1-month free fee ticket !!

The happy girl who gets the 1-month free fee ticket is…

 

The tenant of Shinjuku-Nakano 3 !!!

Congratulation!

All the people you cheers are your family! It doesn’t matter which share house you are living in!

The party approach to the end.
People who came with their housemate of a friend were enjoying communication with people they just have met at the party. This is one of the pictures!

The nervous face at the beginning just go away at the end of the party! Everyone was at the party and enjoy their time.

We can conclude as the floor was on over-capacity, it makes the relation between people physically and psychologically more close. 

The atmosphere filled with excitement doesn’t end even after the Borderless Christmas !

Good time end so quickly, we took a souvenir picture at the end!

See the close relationship between people! It looks like a family picture!

We cannot imagine that they are all just met a few hours before.

Even after the Christmas party, people cannot forget the atmosphere of excitement and they all went to an Izakaya ( casual Japanese restaurant).

This is a picture of the people who were gathered naturally after the party.

In this picture, we can]j see, a Japanese, a Korean, an Italian, a Russian, a British, and an American.

It completely represents this year’s theme: “extends beyond the house, the nationality, and the relation!”


By our Borderless party, a lot of emotional ties beyond nationality and language have arisen!

YOU, who wants to learn English or make international friends, YOU who are interested in a share house!

Borderless House is making many events that can maximize the connection between people.

Borderless House is a place that more than 50 countries are gathering. You can experience English but also so many other languages and cultures. It is a place that you can try national-oversea-experience!

Each sharehouse is made of 50%of foreigners and 50% of Japanese so you can surely experience international interaction!

You are always welcome to experience national-oversea-experience!

The next event is in May 2020 ! We are all waiting for your visit!

Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone!

【International Exchange Program】 Summer is about Somen!? Let’s experience Japanese cuisine that you can feel the season!

Hi! I’m Yuya, in charge of our blog.

The Food Experience Program  “BORDERLESS DINERS ~Experience International Restaurants and Travel around the World~”

It’s been half a year since we started this program! The theme for August was Japanese food to go back to the basics and know about the food culture in the place we live!

Have fun and get full with two of our staff from Shimane and Yamagata, the good old countryside, Takuya and Takky!

Let’s start BORERLESS DINERS!

Happy Half a Year Anniversary for the launch of the program! Satisfying Japanese cuisine that you makes you feel summer!

Japanese cuisine is very deep and has various types of dishes and ways too cook.

One of the best parts of Japanese cuisine is you can feel each of four seasons from it.

There are a lot of dishes which express the beauty of nature or a season and are closely related to the Japanese annual events. 

“So the Japanese menu this time is from the dish with a plenty of summer vegetables to the food for the summer festival.

Let’s enjoy summer in Japan in terms of food!

Flow, Flow and be Flown! Kick-start with Flowing Somem.


There is no summer without Somen!

When we dip the cold noodles cooled by ice in the cold soup and eat it, it feels like we get back the appetite that we lost because of heat.

Flowing Somen (Nagashi Somen in Japanese) is the summer tradition! In Flowing Somen,

Somen is flowing down a bamboo chute with ice-cold water and you catch and eat it!”

Someone just randomly thought “if we throw somen into flowing water, we will feel
summer very much, won’t we?”

As such, Flowing Somen was born in Kyushu and now it is the summer tradition.
So we kick-started with Flowing Somen to feel the absolute Japan.

First, we built the bamboo, then started throwing somen.


The flow was too fast to catch and eat Somen!

But gradually they were getting the tip and able to catch it!

One trouble of Flowing Somen is catching Somen is so much fun and eating it too much.

On the other hand, somen flowing in the bamboo chute looks so elegant and tasteful.


It was supposed to be a kick-start but we were already full.

Tried the traditional food “DASHI” (not the soy sauce dashi) of Yamagata!

The next cuisine is “DASHI”.

It is not about the “Dashi” (Japanese soy sauce beased on fish) but about a traditional food of Yamagata eaten in the summer.

It is a mixture of cucumber, eggplant, and myoga (japanese ginger). It can be use in many way, like put on tofu, on somen etc…

It is also a high nutritional value food so, it is the perfect food when you lose your appetite in summer!

In Yamagata region, DASHI is a soul food which appear in the fridge every summer. And people feel the begining of summer by seing the DASHI.

“DASHI” is highly recommended by our staff Takky !

The french resident who have tried “DASHI” said: ” It is similar to the ratatouille of France!”

Ratatouille is a french cuisine which is a simmered dish of summer vegetables, and it is normally eaten itself but it is also tasteful to put on cheese and meat !
Don’t you think that it is quite interesting that french cuisine and the cuisine of Yamagata region have some similarities ??

Finding similarities between different culture is one of the enjoyable point of this program.

Cucumber and Miso soup is our friend (OR BEST PARTENER) of summer ! Let’s resolve summer weariness!

The second cuisine is Cold miso soup.

It is a typical summer food eaten in different regions like Yamagata, Saitama, and Miyagi.

The recipy is : make some cold miso soup of cucumber and seasoning and put on hot rice. It is easy to make and easy to eat even you have lose appetite because of the high temperature of summer.

In the world, we can find some cold soup like vichyssoise or gazpacho. But in Japan it is not common to eat cold soup, and as we usually eat hot miso soup, for some Japanese, cold miso soup was a culture shock!

“Cold miso soup is delicious so we will made it in our house!” said our residents with their shiny smiles and they all have a refill of it.

Kaki-gori (shaved ice) the typical food of Matsuri (summer festival) was also eaten by Murasaki-shikibu (Japanese novelist) !?


Kagi-gori is the perfect dessert for summer!

Kaki-gori is normally eaten in Natu-matsuri or Ennnichi ( japanese summer festival).

These days, Korean and Taiwanese kaki-gori is famous globally, we all have an image that kaki-gori is a modern food. However, the first time it was eaten was in Heian period (794~1185)!

In the famous book called “Makura-no-soushi”, they is a part that written about the shaved iced with honey. We can understand that kaki-gori is a traditional food with a long story.

It is loved globally even the taste and the form are changing by time.
It is emotional when we think deeply about it!

About the culture of “Washoku” (Japanese food) which is registrated on intangible cultural asset.

Today’s theme “Washoku” is registated in the intangible cultural asset.

The reason is because of it rareness. Indeed, it is globally not common to use diverse type of ingredients and we can also find a strong persistence to the food culture.

The Japanese cuisine change under season and event. We can understand how much Washoku have lived with culture.

Our resident was also very suprised of the fact that Washoku which is very familiar to us was registrated in the intangible cultural asset.

“Itadakimasu” (let’s eat) and “Gochisousama”(Thank you for the meal) are some gretting we can only find in Japan?

The another reason why Japanese food is included in intangible cultural asset is because of it rare greeting.

“Itadakimasu” and “Gochisousama” is a only Japanese gretting which we cannot translate in other language.

This greeting is based on Shinto religion which conciste to believe that god is everywhere. And it become ingrained in our culture to show our respect and gratitude to the ingredients, to the person who cooked the food and to the person who have procured the ingredients.

Thanks to this program, it was an opportunity to find that they are so much thing we don’t know about a culture even if we are living in.

Vietnam this week! The travelling restaurant which we can taste the world every month !


『BORDERLESS DINERS～Taste the world by the travelling restaurant ～』is a experience based program for the residents held every month !

The next country is Vietnam!

Two chefs who are wearing Ao dai ( Traditional Vietnamese costume) are going to cook some festival Vietnam cuisine!

Normally, Pho is a typical cuisine but you can try other food and taste deep Vietnamese culture!

What kind of experience can we do the next travelling ?

Looking forward to the next report !

International Share House Sports Day: 50 Adults Embrace Fun and Competition

Everyone!!! This may be sudden, but what do you think of when you hear the word “Fall?”

The season of eating! It’s the time when you crave sanma (a type of fish) and sweet potatoes.

The season of culture!

The season of agriculture! Remember the Agriculture Experience Trip? That was fun…

Wait, aren’t we forgetting something?

A season of sports!!!

Today, I’d like to share the highlights of the Borderless Olympics, an event where we had a blast! Reporting live, it’s me, Yuya, your blog manager! By the way, I’m terrible at sports.

2020 is Coming! But Before That, We Held a Borderless Olympics.

Next year is Tokyo Olympics, what we’ve all been waiting for!

There are so many news on TV, like the plagiarism of logos,  the stadium taking longer for construction, the mascot character not being so cute,  and marathon being held in Sapporo.

Hearing the word, Olympics everyday makes us so excited!

What if I am in the Olympics? We want to do the Olympics.

If people of more than 50 nationalities live in Broderless Hoouse, can’t we hold the Olympics? So!!

「SA ・KI・BA・SHI・RI」 (getting ahead)

We held a Borderless version of the Olympics!!

50 participants, and nice blue sky! The weather was perfect for a Sports Day.

Management and Planning all Done by Tenants!? An At- Home Event Created from the View of Tenants!

For this time’s Boderless version of Olympics, abbreviated Borderlympic, the management and planning was all done by more than 10 tenants.

Programs were created based on the theme, “ Adults be foolish and interact with people beyond your house mates.“

Unlike events organized by staffs, programs created by the Tenants reflect their desires on what kind of interactions they are looking for.

Because we are not just a corporation for managing share houses, and our relationships are close with the tenants, we had an amazing day in an at- home atmosphere.

We were too excited that Tenant staffs were wearing the most athletic clothes, which I will mention later…

8 Programs at the Sports Day! Sports Day Only Exists in Japan?

When planning for the event, few foreign Tenants mentioned, “What is a Sports Day??”

In fact, only schools in Japan hold Sports Day as a school event.

For Japanese Tenants and staffs who has been experiencing Sports Day since Kindergarten through high school, it was a big surprise.

We want tenants who came from abroad to enjoy a traditional Sports Day!!
But, we also want Japanese people to feel something new with the nostalgic and make it an unforgettable day.

We were like we want to do this, we want to do that, and once we noticed, we ended up with 8 games!?

It was non stop, so the participants were out of breath…

But, everyone one was happy until the end:)

Next, what were the programs that made everyone sweat and smile?

First, the Radio Excercise. Wait! It’s Not a Time for Free Acting!?

In order to do the programs without getting injuries, we need to began with a warm up exercise!

And we can’t miss out “radio exercise!” It’s a traditional warm up exercise in Japan.
When we were in elementary school, we did the radio exercise during summer break so much… but most of us only have a vague memory??
Because even the staffs in the front were making mistakes, once we knew it, everyone was just moving however they wanted.

No no, this is not a program to act freely?!!

A MC’s voice spreads around the ground,

“Believe in Yourself!!!!”

Wait, what are we going to do when the MC is not leading?!

It does look fun…! But can everyone participate in the programs…!?

(By the way, this picture shows a Tenant jumping during the radio exercise. Nice jump!)

Ball Tossing Game and Tug a War! 38 year old gets serious.

When the warming up is over, we get into the traditional games.

Ball Tossing Game, Tug a War, Relay, all sorts of games!

Tenants who have never expereinced a Ball Tossing Game were like, “What? All we do is just throw??”

But do not blame the Tossing Ball Game.

It’s so fun although it’s just throwing. You feel the desire to throw the ball into that net.

The participants became really serious.

When you look closer, there is an adult standing out…

What, is that the President of Borderless House…?

Yes, our President participated! 38 years old, fought serious with the Tenants.

Although he was the oldest participant, he shot many goals with a great posture!
He influenced many other Tenants to get more serious.

The battle ends…!

The President’s team won with 108 balls! He put his fist in the air!
Wait, let’s let the Tenants win…

Looking for You and Goal in. Connecting, Scavenger Hunt.

The next program is the Avenger Hunt! It’s a simple game where you try to find a participant who meets the topic!

Since we are an international share house, we have obstacles that are abnormal.
For example, “a person who can speak three languages,” or “a person who has traveled to more than 10 countries!”

When you find out one thing about that person, you want to know more!

And you’re able to goal thanks to that person!! Isn’t this a great way to make connections? 

People forgot they goaled in, becuase they wanted to talk more!

Face Covered with Flour? The Main Game, Obstacle Race!

The main game is the Obstacle Race! The obstacles included, grabbing a bread with your mouth, running with a pin pon on a spoon, and finding a candy inside a pan with flour.

The last one is popular in variety shows, but we included it in our obstacle course this time!

When you dive your face into the pan, your face gets covered with flour!

We were first worried if everyone will be afraid to put their faces in the pan…??

But our worry was unnecessary!!

This program is a team competition! I will connect the baton no matter what! This strong feeling gets people into the white powder.

Their faces looked like a white mask! The people receiving the mask seemed afraid too!

A Friendship Beyond Share House. The more you sweat, the closer your relatioships can get.

Now, all the programs are over, and it is the awarding ceremony.

Since house mates were separated into different teams, everyone seemed nervous.

However, the cheering became louder, and they were hugging at the last ceremony.

The Tenant staffs were very happy to see that..

“The Tenats in Borderless House are such great people!! Organizing the event was really hard, but they enjoyed it, and I got to meet many new people. It was really great…”

This comment is a Tenant Staff, Mr. Y, who was wearing the best Halloween costume and won the individual relay.

Us, Borderless Staffs are grateful to hear see him this way, Thank You…!

The best part about sports is that at the end, participants, staffs, everyone is happy.

Borderlympic was a blast!!

Next is Christmas party! Who Will Get the Free Rent Fee from Santa Clause!?

Lastly, taking a memory picture with friends who competed together!

This event was a first attempt for Borderless House! It is the closing for Borderless Olympics.

Next event is December 7th!

We will be holding a Borderless House annual event, Christmas Party this year too!

A lot of gifts this year too!

We’ll give away gorgeous prizes like a wonderful date ticket and free rent.

Borderless House is continuing to plan events where we can make “connections.”

In Borderless House where tenants from more than 50 countries gather, not only you can learn English but also experience various languages and cultures, like a study abroad in Japan.

Every share house is adjusted to have a 50: 50 proportion for Japanese people and foreign people, so you can definitely experience a balanced international exchange!

Would you like to experience studying abroad in Japan in an international share house? Next event is Christmas Party! We are looking forward for your participation!

Now everyone, Adiós!!

【Borderless House Kyoto Kinugasa】I did not want to leave this amazing international exchange share house after staying for weeks on my business trip

Hello! I’m Yuya in charge of the blog!

I usually work at Borderless House in Tokyo, but I just went to Kansai on a long business trip recently.

I have stayed at Borderless House for the first time because it was a long business trip to Kansai.

This time, I would like to share a story about the share house life being so much fun that I didn’t want to go back to Tokyo at all.

The place where I stayed was Borderless House Kyoto Kinugasa, which opened in August.

Borderless House Kyoto Kinugasa is a 7-minute walk from Kamaguchi and a 10-minute walk to Kinkakuji Temple!!! This house is in such a great location!

This is a newly built house that just opened in August, and it’s beautiful!

The living room and dining room are separated on the first and the second floors, so there are a lot of free spaces that you could use whenever you want.

This house is up to 26 residents!

Even it was just opened when I moved in, I was able to be surrounded by around 10 housemates from all over the world, such as United States, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan in this international exchange share house.

You can also secure personal time in your cozy private space!

Here is my favorite space ranking announcement!

One of my favorite spaces in this house is the personal room!
The reason is that the private room in this house is the biggest among Borderless House!!!

And the size of the bed is semi-double!

Anyway, it is very important to me.

But don’t be underestimated, the shared room is also the best. Since there is a door between bed and bed, you can still have your private space even staying in a shared room.

I can’t forget the excitement of the first time I showed the shared room to my housemate, we both agreed it felt like Doraemon`s secret space.

After hanging out with housemates in the living room and dining room, I was able to enjoy my private time by reading or working in the room.

The loft space gradually became my healing space during my business trip. It was too comfortable and cozy.

Feeling warm at the kitchen and dining room

My 2nd favorite spaces at the house are kitchen & dining!

The interior designer hoped to give our tenants warm feelings.

A long dining table is designed for 14 people usually but it can fit 20 people at the maximum. You can feel the warmness from the person who sits next to you!

During my stay, whenever I came home, there was always some of housemate having dinner or studying at this table.

Even when not having meals, tenants still sit around the table talking with others.
It makes me not feel lonely at all, but feel excited and I always wondered “Who’s in the dining room at this time?”

I was looking forward to going back from work every day as well!

Are there more attractive points of Kinugasa House!?

My NO.1 favorite space is the living room！

Most share houses have a living room with kitchen and dining room together
But at Kinugasa House, kitchen/dining room and living room are separated on the first floor and second floor.

We were usually watching TV and relaxing with music in this living room! Some tenants like to work or do their homework here too.

During weekends, we also had movie nights and parties here!

 

Are there more attractive points of Kinugasa House!?

There are two more points I would like to recommend.

First one is the bath!

There are many share houses that have only basic shower rooms, however, there is a spacious bath at this house where you can stretch your legs!

Bath lovers must see! !

And you can use it whenever you want without worrying about water and gas fees.
It was an awesome information for me since I live alone.

Second, there is a stylish gallery and guest house in the neighborhood!

The interior is modern Japanese style and they sell there wonderful ceramic work.

It was fun to stop by and talk with the guests while enjoying the exhibition.

Even as a staff, I did not know living in an international share house is just so much fun!

As a staff member, I am a friend with many of our tenants, and I’m invited to a house party often.

I feel that Borderless House is a fun place to live,

however, after living here, my point of view has changed.

It was not just fun, but correctly, it is INCREDIBLY FUN.

Share house seems interesting from the Japanese TV series「TERRACE HOUSE」

Speaking of share house life, you must have to watch the TV show called「TERRACE HOUSE」

We were totally hooked and everyone gathers in the living room together on Tuesday nights for it while having dinner.

During my stay, there were many girls, so we have discussed about each country`s philosophy of love, “It’s impossible to be like this” or “It’s vey similar to my country.” “I felt very excited when everyone was very into it.” etc.

The show was more exciting compared to Borderless House though.

“Well, it’s fun for making lots of friends than focused on a love life, isn’t it?”

Be the master of Takoyakiー！

Takoyaki party is very classic as a home party here. Of course, we did it during my stay.

For some reason,we did it every three days in one of the weeks!
Don’t underestimate it and think it was just a takoyaki party! We actually made it very international and interesting.

For instance, my housemates put kimchi from Korea and tried various ingredients.

It was in a mess at the first time we tried, and it was also frustrating that everyone became very quiet while making it.

However, it was so tasty after we were getting good at making it and we even accidentally made too much!

But I can say they were more delicious than the ones I bought from the store!

There is tangible cultural property near the house?! Cheers with milk at a public bath

All the house events of Kinugasa House were fun, but the best one was we went to public bath together

There are 2 tangible cultural properties near the house which are KING OF public bath and Funaoka Onsen.

Unfortunately, I didn’t go to Kinkakuji-yu during my stay, but I can’t forget Funaoka onsen, which I went to after the takoyaki party with everyone in the house.

“In Korea, there is a place called Chimjiruban, which is like a public bath” and “There seems to be a public bath where men and women can enter together in Germany.”

“While having a “”hadaka no tsukiai”” in the bath, we talked about many deep stories.

*hadaka no tsukia*

After the bath, we toasted with bottled milks.

Even if it was not a special event, milk made it the best ending of the day.

I miss the share house life so much afterwards

It was only about one month that I stayed at Kinugasa House for the business trip,
even it was very short, I was able to have a lot of good memories with my housemates.

Before I left, they held a farewell party for me. It was so hard for me to say goodbye to everyone, and we were chatting until 4 o’clock in the morning the day I left.

Not only events and parties, but we often went groceries shopping together.
To cook and have dinner together and to be greeted with “Okaeri” when I came home every night were the things I miss the most.”

My heart is still in Kyoto after I am back to Tokyo.

I strongly recommend Kinugasa House! since even for me, I want to live there for a long time.

Minimum contract term at Borderless House is one month, so you can stay here for your business trip as well!

I hope you like my sharing about Kinugasa House!

PS. Potluck party and chances to visit the house for non-tenant guests!?

Borderless House Kinugasa is open for visitors every Saturday, so anyone can visit it freely!

Moreover, there is a potluck party once a month!

We invite local people who live in the neighborhood to join the party too.

If you are interested, please drop in! (I really wanted to go to the Potluck Party!) )

【Let’s travel abroad!】 Your housemates are waiting for you even in other countries!

Hello, this is Borderless House!

Do you like traveling abroad?

Borderless House has share houses in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. So we have a special program only for our tenants which you can stay in other share houses in other countries for free.

It’s called “House Exchange Program”.

You can stay for 5 nights at minimum and for 1 month at maximum so it is convenient when you go to other countries for travel or short study on vacation!

If you use this program when you travel alone to a country you visit for the first time, how will it be..?

Today, let me introduce Motomu who is living in a house in Tokyo and came to Korea, using this House Exchange Program.

Motomu’s profile

・4th grade in a university in Tokyo
・Going to start working in his hometown from next spring
・Living in Borderless House for more than half a year
・Moved in Borderless House in order to practice English and make friends from other countries
・Likes music, calligraphy, cooking, and Kendo

 

（↓ Once he moved in, he could get friends at his house! He is on the left.）

What made you use “House Exchange Program”?

That’s because I can have housemates even in the country where I never visited before and I can be a friend of them!

And I don’t need to pay any fee so it was also an attractive point! It is a nice concept for students who don’t have enough money. lol

 

（↓He could easily get close to his housemates within a few hours!）

Why KOREA？

I decided to visit Korea this time because I’m from Fukuoka which is really close to Korea and most of my friends already had visited Korea.

I had been thinking that I wanted to visit as soon as possible while I have enough time.　

And also I like spicy food so I wanted to try them!

（↓Korean food Motomu tried while he was in Korea,）

How did you spend time with your housemates?

I could enjoy the time with all the housemates!

On my arrival day, one of the housemates Alice cooked food for me. She is a really warm and kind person like a mother for everyone. I was really happy for her warm welcome.

If I go to the living room, I could meet someone so I think I was drinking all the time with my housemates. lol

There were Japanese tenants and they guided me to some famous sightseeing places. We visited some historical places and enjoyed Korean food together.

I ate a lot and drank a lot but it was super fun!

 

（↓The places he visited.）

What was the most memorable experience?

It was the drinking with a housemate and the housemate’s friend and the friend’s friend. lol  Most of the members meet each other for the first time.

At first, I thought only I was the new person but later I got to know that most of us were the first time to meet and there was a person who lived in Borderless House Kyoto and came to Korea just for a trip.

It was unexpected members but connected with Borderless House so we could be close soon and it was the most fun moment in my stay! 

（↓Eating Korean food together.）

Did you discover any new things in yourself?

The house I stayed in Korea was bigger than the one I live in Tokyo and the house has more members and an at-home atmosphere.

It might be because of the big number of people but everyone was just like a family member and I would like to see them again.

Koenji2 House has really fancy facilities with a music studio. However, some members use the studio just for their own purpose. I hope we can use the place together in order to make our community more active. I thought it was important to change their minds gradually!

I want to tell that to my housemates in Korenji2 House in order to reproduce the at-home atmosphere in my house in Seoul!

 

（↓At Han River at night.）

Any other things to tell?

I want Borderless House in the United States and Australia, too! lol

(Staff: Oh, yes! We will do our best to realize it !!!!)　

（↓Near the house. All tenants like the neighbor dog.）


Editorial note

In Japan, he usually welcomes housemates from other countries as a local person but in Seoul, he was welcomed by his housemates as a new housemate from another country.

It must have been a new experience for him.

Your housemates are waiting for you in other countries which you never visited before.
Borderless House is such community that you can connect to the world.

Why don’t you try to have an at-home travel experience like this in Borderless House? It must be totally different from the one alone.

【Tenant’s interview】How to Enjoy the Shopping Street Surrounding the Share House～

Borderless House owns 67 share houses around Tokyo, and each house is attractive in its own way!

But, you probably can’t imagine how it feels like, living in a share house…
So this time, it’s a new series of Tenants introducing their community and surrounding area of the house!

Series number 1 of feeling as if you moved in the house! There will be two parts this time!

Introducing Borderless House Itabashi-Kuyakushomae, a medium sized share house with maximum of 16 people!

Area around the house is very convenient! Traditional shopping street and active share house

The area around the house is very convenient.

It’s only 2 minutes walk from the nearest station!

And, there is a traditional shopping street right in front of it.

When you get to the station, the delicious smell from the shopping street gets you hungry.

Its an exciting way back home thinking, “What will be my dinner today?”


Many many “Yayoya!” Share seasonal, delicious vedgetables!


Many traditional shops are in the shopping street.

Among them, there are many ”Yaoya!”

Surprisingly, there are 5 in the shopping street!! All of them sell really cheap seasonal vegetables.

Vegetables that may be expensive in supermarkets are affordable in “Yaoya.”


“Shopping is always fun when we all go together, since owners are surprised to see foreigners and they remember our faces. And so, we get extra goods! I’ve tried many new things since being independent from my parents, and cooking is something I’ve learned to love!”

Walk and eat around when you’re a little hungry. Delicious eating place in the shopping street.

The most recommendation is walking and eating around the shopping street with housemates!

Many shops also have take outs, so they are recommended for potluck parties.

Today, Mr. S will introduce 4 delicious shops around the house!

The secret sauce is super tasty! Yakitori shop, Torishin

The Yakitori shop that is 40 seconds walk across the house has excellent Yakitori with their own original sauce! For eating around, they cook right in front of you.

You can also bring it home, and Mr.S says, his housemates often bring them home!

Hot and soft! Introduced in TV shows, a Takoyaki shop, Iwacchi

The Takoyaki shop that is a short walk away from the shopping street is also a hidden, but famous shop.

We also make Takoyaki at home, but sometimes we feel like eating bought ones! A smell and taste that can not be made at home!

Why not have a sandwich party sometime? Stuffed with ingredients, SunSun Kure-ru

This sandwich shop has been featured on TV. Ingredients are stuffed, and you can order Horus d’oeuvre, so it can be brought to picnics or Cherry blossom viewing!

The rich ice cream is addicting once you eat it! OTONARI

A cafe& co working space, 2 minutes walk from the house!

The rich ice cream is of course recommended, but there’s also a lunch menu that changes daily. Also, there’s a co working space that is perfect for when you want to work outside of house.

Come to Borderless House Itabashi-Kuyakusho Mae!

Appeals of Itabshi-Kuyakushomae House are!

Meeting a lot of people in a 16 people living house!

Interactions emerge from walking past the living room!”

Good location surrounded with a wonderful shopping street!

These three points! There are many other recommendation points, but can’t write it all!

Find out more by acutally living there!

That’s it for report on feeling as if you moved in the Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House featuring Mr. S!

【Survey before Working Holiday!?】What he learned in three countries’ Borderless House

Hello!  This is Ayako from Borderless House. 
Are you enjoying the autumn atmosphere?

This time I did an interview with a tenant, Wonseok from Korea.

Actually, he stayed in three countries’ Borderless House, in Kyoto, Seoul, and Taipei! And it seemed to become a good opportunity for him before preparing Working Holiday.

Let me ask him about his experience in detail!

Stayed in Taiwan for House Exchange Program!

ーHe stayed in three different countries’ Borderless House

 

Staff：　Thank you for accepting my interview today!

 

Wonseok：　My pleasure! 

 

Staff：　Actually, it is really rare for us to have a tenant who stayed in three countries’ Borderless House. May I ask how come it happened?

 

Wonseok：　First, I moved to Borderless House KANSAI when I entered the university in Japan and lived there for a year.

After that, I came back to Korea in order to prepare for military service. Since I still had time until going to the military so I stayed in Borderless House Korea for 5 months.

While I was living there, I stayed in Borderless House Taipei for a week, using House Exchange Program.

I will move out Borderless House Korea soon and then go to the military.

 

Staff：　Oh so you stayed in Taiwan for House Exchange!

 

*House Exchange Program is a special program for tenants in which they can stay in other countries’ Borderless House for 5 days to 1 month for free.

 

（↓He spent the longest time in Kyoto, Borderless House Hanazono.）  

A feeling of safety as a “foreigner” in Japan

ーWhy Borderless House?

 

Staff：　Did you have any reason you decided to live in a share house in Japan first?

 

Wonseok：　I had known about share house itself and I thought it was good because I don’t need to pay the expensive initial fees and also don’t need to purchase furniture.

First, I searched on the internet and found a lot of share houses but Borderless House was the only one that has a concept like the half tenants are locals and another half tenants are people from other countries. 

From that concept, I felt like I could be accepted by the people there although I came from another country.

 

Staff：　I see. Not only the convenience of the initial fees but the feeling of safety was also a big reason to choose the accommodation.

 

（↓Hanazono House Family）

Each house has each nice things

ーWas there any difference between the three different countries’ house life?

 

Wonseok：　Basically I enjoyed myself a lot at each house!

 

Staff：　When you were in Japan, half numbers of the tenants were Japanese, right?

 

Wonseok：　Yes!  What I got surprised was, most of the housemates who are from other countries could speak Japanese. So I was also using Japanese all the time.

 

Staff：　What about the house in Korea?

 

Wonseok：　The common language was English. In Korea, I am a local person, not a foreigner so my roommate was from Belgium.

However, I chose a house which has a few Japanese tenants so I could also use English and it was really nice for me!

 

Staff：　What about in Taiwan?

 

Wonseok：　I think it was Taiwanese and English. There was a Japanese tenant so he helped me a lot! lol

 

Staff：　That’s the good point of Borderless House which has various nationalities.

Is there any difference among about how to spend time with housemates?

 

Wonseok：　In KANSAI, Borderless House Hanazono, I was drinking with my housemates almost every day. lol

In Korea, I was a bit busy with a part-time job but of course, I drank or hanged out with my housemates sometimes.

In Taiwan, they don’t drink that much so I relaxed at home when I spent time with them. 

 

（↓His Second house, Chungjeongno1 House in Korea.）

It became a Working Holiday survey. Traveling without any accommodation fee!

ーHouse Exchange to Taiwan

 

Staff：　You are so fluent in Japanese but are you also studying Chinese?

 

Wonseok：　Yes. I was also interested in Taiwan so I started to study Chinese recently.

 

Staff：　Is that the reason you decided to travel to Taiwan?

 

Wonseok：　That’s right. If I use House Exchange Program, I don’t need to pay any accommodation fee and I can make friends immediately at the house so I think this is a really nice program.

I’ve been thinking about going to Taiwan for Working Holiday so it became a really good opportunity for me because I could get to know about Taiwan in advance.

 

Staff：　Wow, that sounds really nice!

 

Wonseok：　Absolutely. Tenants in Taiwan have been living there more than for a few months so I could ask them about life in Taiwan, culture, and working in detail.

I could get to know about real life in Taiwan which I couldn’t get to know in Korea. Then I could get many tips to think about Working Holiday there!

 

Staff：　That’s really nice to hear that!

 

Wonseok：　There was a staff of Borderless House who can speak Korean so the procedures were not so hard. And it was nice for me, too.

 

（↓With Connie, staff in Taiwan who can communicate in Korean.）

How to enjoy share house life when we want to be alone.

ー How was your staying in share houses in different countries?

 

Wonseok：　For total, it was really fun and I want to live in Borderless House again.

 

Staff：　Generally speaking, there are some people who feel awkward to live in a share house but you didn’t have that kind of feeling?

 

Wonseok：　Yeah, I can understand that feeling. In share house, always someone is in the house though that’s the good point of share house, I also felt like I want to be alone sometimes, honestly. lol

 

Staff：　How did you solve it when you had that kind of feeling?

 

Wonseok：　In Japan, my room was a private room so I tried to spend my own time alone. In Korea, I sometimes went back to my hometown  or went to a cafe alone.

As long as I can take the balance by myself, we can enjoy the life in share house!

 

Staff：　I see… You know well because you spent a lot of time!!!!

Thank you very much for telling me precious stories. You might have a hard time in the military but I’m looking forward to seeing you again somewhere in Borderless House after you finished!

 

Wonseok：　Me, too!  Thank you very much!!

 

Staff：　Thank you!!!!

 

（↓Beer with housemates from Switzerland, Germany, Japan, and Korea）

Why don’t you try “Experience Abroad” using Borderless House?

ーEditorial note

How was his interview? He stayed in Japan and Taiwan as a foreigner and stayed in Korea as a local while enjoying the international exchange.

In Borderless House, you can practice English or Japanese while living in Korea and also can get to know about life in Taiwan while living in Korea like him.

If you are interested in Workihg Holiday or Studying abroad, why don’t you try to have the “Experience Abroad” in Borderless House?

Now we have “2+1” campaign only for Korean!  (If you move in by December 15)
Looking forward to your inquiry!

[BORDERLESS HOUSE] Moving out review of the house supporters “보들보들”

Hello, this is Borderless House Seoul Team.

Our house support 보들 보들 finally finished their work on last August 24.
They stayed in Borderless House for the whole summer
and tried their best to make our house be more wonderful place.

We are going to tell you about the last story of them now!

There is our house supporter Suzy! 
Actually she left our house first because of her studies .

She is studying in US, so she stayed in Borderless House during her vacation .
Even though it was not a long time to stay in share house , she said,
“the experience in share house was really helpful to get used to school life in US “

Suzy was always enthusiastic to learn new cultures and communicate with housemate, and that is why she could enhance her English a lot for a short time.

Take care and keep in touch with us Suzy!

Yujin in Hongdae 2 house said the most precious memory during her staying was sharing feeling with her roommates .
She said, “I know how hard to live as a foreigner , so I tried to sympathize with them more and help them to get used to the life in Korea ”
she also made an effort to communicate with roommates to keep the house clean and comfortable .
As a house supporter, she made a new cleaning rule which is more reasonable for housemates .

We highly appreciate that Yujin always tried to kindly care our housemate.

There is the winner of our SNS posting competition ! Congratulation!
Yujin in Janghangpyeong 1 house got so much compliments from her housemates!

Yujin was definitely happy virus in Janghangpyeong 1 house.
We would like to share one of the messages from Janghangpyeng house !

“Being with Yujin, it was much easier to get close with other housemates .
Yujin made an effort to invite all to have a conversation each other .
Thank you Yujin to be our house supporter! We had a wonderful time with you!”

 

We can find the lovely girls of Gangnam 2 house in the picture.
Actually, Hyun is the house supporter who was being with us until the end .

Also, her house mate left a message to us that Hyun helped her a lot to get used to Korea . She felt really sad to let Hyun go.
So, she waited Hyun to see her off and they made a promise to meet again !

We have received a lot of messages from our housemates !
They said, “the time in Borderless house was very precious memory and we would keep in touch continually !”
Also, Hyun said, “I highly recommend to live in share house for someone especially who is a student looking for a special plan for their vacation ! “

Look at the cute memory board by the supporters. : D

This was a challenge even for us, because it was the first time to try house supporters .
Therefore, there were some weak points as well.
We will improve the plan and will make the activity more meaningful and pleasant!

Thank you so much for the efforts everyone !!

Good bye the 1st 보들 보들 ~

Look at those cute jelly rings.
We can tell with the photos that they are having a lovely summer night in the share house .

In the summer time,
it is surely better to have a cold beer under the A / C at home than go outside!
It would be doubly happy to have roommates who can be with .


Yujin in Janghanpyeong 1 house said she spend most of the time with her roommate Yui .
Also they went to watch a movie ‘Exit’and had bingsu (Korean style ice flakes) together.

By the way, did you hear that the total number of the audiences of the movie ‘Exit’was over nine million?
If you did not watch it yet and you like light comedy and action movies , we highly recommend it!

Suzy in Borderless Yeongdeungpo 1 house sent us a picture of birthday party in share house !  
We can find they were having a awesome night .
Suzy said, “it was not a big party but we felt that we got really close after the party . “

Have you ever been suffering from loneliness?
Sometimes we feel very lonely if there is no close friend around us .
We know how hard it is.
But, in our share house, you always can be with good friends.

Also, All roommates in Yeongdeungpo 1 are outgoing and know how to enjoy night life in Seoul well .
You definitely will make wonderful memories with them!

Next photo is from Dong-in who is staying in Sangsu 1 house.

You definitely will fall in love with our house !



There might be plenty of benefits to live and share your life with others .

It is not easy to live in house with a living room especially in Seoul .
However, in Borderless house, you can share enough place with your roommates and have fun at any time you want !



Especially, Hongdae 2 house is known for the house which has a wide living room and that is why we had the August event ‘ The Bibbim ‘right here!

We always appreciate your efforts to make our house be a place we would feel comfortable in!
