Borderless House Arrives in Sendai!
A brand-new international share house has just opened in Tohoku, Sendai!
BORDERLESS HOUSE Sendai-Tohokudaigakumae1 welcomed its first residents on February 1st, bringing together young people from different backgrounds for a unique cultural exchange experience.
Before the official house tours in March, we got a special first look! From room features to local hotspots, here’s everything you need to know!
6 Minutes to Kawauchi Station! Live with 32 Global Housemates!
This newly renovated international share house is in a prime location—just a 6-minute walk from Kawauchi Station and 7 minutes by train to Sendai Station!
Originally a student dormitory, this spacious 2-story home features 16 rooms per floor and accommodates 32 residents, making it the largest Borderless House in Japan!
We can’t share exterior photos yet, but imagine a sleek dusty blue design that’s as charming as it is spacious. Curious about the inside? Let’s step in and explore!
Walk through the entrance, and you’ll immediately spot a large black bulletin board, a perfect space for 32 residents to stay connected and share daily updates.
You’ll also find two generously sized shoe storage units, keeping the entrance neat and organized. As you step further inside, a corridor lined with private rooms leads you into a beautifully renovated space, fresh and gleaming!
Where Connections Happen—A Living & Dining Space for All!
Walk past the bulletin board, and you’ll find a bright, open living and dining space, thoughtfully designed for cultural exchange.
The 65-inch TV and comfortable sofa make it the perfect spot to unwind and chat about your favorite shows, from dramas to anime.
Just behind, a large dining table invites everyone to gather for shared meals, welcome parties, and unforgettable moments in share house life!
This share house comes with an exciting home theater space, featuring a projector for epic movie nights and sports watch parties. Gather your housemates and enjoy the big screen together!
But that’s not all—next to the TV, you’ll find board games, a ping-pong net, paddles, and balls, all carefully selected by the Borderless House team! Just set up the net on the dining table and start a fun match anytime.
With endless activities to bring housemates together, this is more than just a place to live—it’s a place to connect!
A Bright, Fully Equipped Kitchen—Made for Cultural Exchange!
Cooking is even more enjoyable in this spacious, sunlit kitchen, designed to make meal prep smooth and social. Bringing your food to the dining area is quick and easy!
Equipped with three sinks and three IH stoves, plus essential cooking tools like ladles, cutting boards, and knives, this kitchen is built for convenience. A large counter stores shared mugs, cups, and plates, while multiple kettles ensure there’s always hot water ready.
With toasters, microwaves, rice cookers, and even hot plates, everything you need is at your fingertips. The modern monochrome color scheme adds a chic touch, making it the perfect space for housemates to cook and share dishes from around the world!
Fully Furnished Private Rooms for a Comfortable Stay
After exploring the shared spaces, let’s take a look at the private rooms! Each secure, key-coded room ensures safety and personal space for all residents.
Every room comes fully furnished with a desk, chair, single bed, hanger rack, and drying rack, making it easy to settle in with minimal upfront costs.
Plus, each room includes a personal refrigerator with a freezer—perfect for keeping drinks and snacks within reach. A small feature, but a big convenience!
Each resident has a personal storage box in their room for food ingredients. Simply bring your box to the kitchen when cooking—keeping your ingredients separate and organized.
The clever design makes the most of every inch, with storage racks tucked away in the space under the beds.
Each room features a personalized touch – a small bulletin board hanging outside. While residents are encouraged to post an instant photo of themselves on move-in day, the rest of the board is a blank canvas for creativity!
Whether it’s proudly displaying your national flag, sharing snapshots of new friendships, or letting your imagination run wild with decorations, these boards are set to become a vibrant showcase of each resident’s unique personality.
Elevate Your Share House Experience with Thoughtfully Designed Common Areas
Beyond the essentials, this share house goes the extra mile. Just off the entrance, you’ll find a cozy nook aptly named the “Study Room”
The study area is equipped with three monitors, desks, and chairs, creating an ideal setup for attending online university lectures or tackling remote work assignments efficiently.
On each floor, you’ll find a well-appointed washroom featuring three sinks. The laundry area boasts two washer-dryer combos, streamlining your laundry routine. This thoughtful layout sets the stage for impromptu chats and friendly banter as housemates go about their morning routines side by side.
The building features a total of 8 toilet cubicles, evenly distributed with 4 on each floor. Each is equipped with a heated seat for added comfort.
At the far end of the living area, you’ll find a dedicated bathing zone housing 6 individual shower rooms, complete with a changing area. This setup naturally encourages friendly interactions – “All done with your shower? Mind if I hop in next?” – potentially sparking impromptu cultural exchanges.
For those who prefer the fresh scent of sun-dried laundry, outdoor clotheslines are available. On clear days, you can hang your washing outside, letting nature do its work and infuse your clothes with freshness.
Step Into History & Nature—Right in Your Neighborhood!
Now that we’ve toured the share house amenities, let’s venture out to discover the charm of the surrounding area!
Nestled near Kawauchi Station, this share house enjoys a prime location in a tranquil residential district. The area boasts lush greenery and crisp, clean air, making it a favorite among university students. The main draw? Its unbeatable proximity to Tohoku University’s Kawauchi Campus.
Here’s the clincher – it’s just a 6-minute stroll from your doorstep to Tohoku University’s Kawauchi Campus! This exceptional location is a game-changer, especially for incoming freshmen starting their academic journey at Tohoku University this spring.
For small daily necessities shopping, the co-op supermarket and convenience stores at Tohoku University’s Kawauchi Campus seem convenient.
Within walking distance of the share house, you’ll find Kameoka Hachiman Shrine, a historic site linked to Date Tomomune, the ancestor of the famous samurai warlord Date Masamune—also known as the “One-Eyed Dragon” who conquered Southern Ōshū. A must-visit for history lovers!
Come spring, the shrine transforms into a breathtaking cherry blossom haven, with petals cascading like a floral waterfall. It’s the perfect spot to experience Japan’s changing seasons with your international housemates!
Delicious Eats Within Walking Distance!
Juggling school or work? No time to cook? No problem! We’ve found two amazing food spots near the share house that are perfect for a quick yet satisfying meal. You’ll definitely want to visit them again!
Need a quick and cheap meal? “Ofukuro Bento” is a 7-minute walk away. They have tons of tasty lunch boxes at prices students will love.
