Global Friendships, Kyoto Style! Party in Uji Share House Brought Everyone Together

On March 22nd, we held our very first inter-house event at BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto Uji — a fun Gyoza & Chirashi Sushi Party!

What made it so special?
It was co-hosted by one of our original Kyoto Uji housemates! Residents from Kinugasa and Kamigamo Share Houses also joined in, and the day was full of great food, new friendships, and lots of smiles 🙂

Thinking about joining an international share house?
This is a peek into what it’s really like — sharing meals, cultures, and warm moments together.

Cooking Together, Beyond Words!

Our first-ever house exchange event at Kyoto Uji was a big success — and full of heartwarming moments.

The idea started with Fumi, a Japanese housemate who loves cooking. She told us, “I’d love to do a cooking event with everyone someday!”
So we teamed up and made it happen — and it turned into something really special.

From the kitchen prep to the final bites, it was a mix of cultures, languages, and lots of fun!
Even people meeting for the first time were chatting while making gyoza:
“How do you do this part?”
“In my country, we fold it like this!”

Cooking together really does bring people closer — no matter what language you speak!

Gyoza, Chirashi Sushi & Sweet Treats!

Our housemates brought so much creativity to the table — literally!
Fumi and the Kyoto Uji crew planned an awesome menu full of variety and veggie-friendly ideas.

We had:
– Classic meat gyoza
– Veggie versions with tofu, mushrooms, even broccoli & koji powder!
– A chirashi sushi “cake” that looked as amazing as it tasted

And yes — there were handmade desserts, too!

A Chirashi Sushi Inspired by “Flowers”

For the sushi presentation, two housemates designed it using the kanji character for “flower” (花) — such a fun and creative idea!

Everyone gathered around, watching them work with excited voices:
“Whoa!! That looks amazing!”
And when it was time to remove the mold… the tension was real!

But it turned out beautiful — and everyone cheered!

Fumi even printed the recipe for everyone and prepped ingredients like lotus root and shredded egg in advance.
One housemate said, “Honestly, it was all so perfectly prepared, I just followed along and had a great time!

Dessert Time = Pure Happiness

After all the gyoza and sushi, it was time to enjoy something sweet — and one of the tenants, Fumi had us covered with her amazing homemade desserts!

She made: Cookies, Muffins, Raspberry mousse, and Carrot cake! Everything tasted so good, people kept saying, “It’s like a real bakery!”

We all ended the day with a big “Gochisousama!” (thanks for the meal) and a heartfelt “Thank you!” to Fumi. The event wrapped up in the warmest, happiest way possible.

The Day Didn’t End with Dessert — It Became a Memory to Keep

After enjoying all the food and good company, the day wasn’t over yet.
“Since we’re in Uji, let’s go somewhere,” someone suggested — and just like that, everyone went out for a walk to nearby temples and the World Heritage site, Byodoin.

One resident shared a sweet story too:
“There’s a cat at the temple next to the house. I visited so often that we became friends. And now, I even have plans to go out with someone I met through those visits.”

Even after everyone said goodbye, people kept chatting on LINE, sharing photos and messages. The warmth and connection from the event didn’t end — it kept going, beyond the day itself.

Voices from the Housemates

・Shiyoo（China）
“The event was so lovely, peaceful and serene and well prepared. I am glad we get to connect with people from other houses and feel proud of our space. I was very overwhelmed by the amount of food and gifts provided by people in the event, it was a pure luxury.”

・Vivian（USA）

”I was pleasantly surprised when I was invited to a gyoza making party at Uji house. As someone who just arrived in Kyoto, it was nice to make new friends and eat delicious gyoza. One of the Uji house members even went above and beyond and baked delicious sweets for all of us to share! We explored Uji together after lunch, and visited a temple with a cute cat. Thank you Borderless for organizing such a warm and friendly event ❤️”

・Fumi（Japan）

”It was a dream come true to host a fun, lively party with people from other houses. I planned a vegetarian menu for the first time — and learned so much from it. I want to keep getting better at vegetarian cooking. And I was so happy that everyone enjoyed the desserts I made — it really meant a lot to me.”

A Note from Our Community Creator

担当スタッフつむぎ
Tsumugi

Uji House’s very first event was really special to me.I’ve been involved since the renovation began — so seeing our residents enjoying themselves in a space we worked hard to build, together with the owner, contractors, and our team, was truly meaningful.
We shared food, stories, and laughs in the sunny living room. Fumi’s desserts, the warm atmosphere — everything made it a day to remember.
These kinds of homey, heartwarming events are what make Borderless House Kansai unique.
And here, residents can help plan events too — just like this one! Want to create your own event and connect with others? We’d love to help you make it happen!

Borderless House — A Place Where “Someday” Becomes Now

Here, residents don’t just live together — they create together.
From cooking parties to cultural events, you can take the lead and make your ideas real.

You don’t need perfect language skills.
Sharing time, creating something together — that’s how real connection starts.

Just like Fumi’s dream of hosting a cooking event came true, yours can too.
And who knows — it might inspire someone else’s journey along the way.

Celebrate the New Year with Borderless House! A global gathering of cultures and connections

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. 

Make friends from around the world in Borderless House Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Sendai Japan! 

At Borderless House, our international share houses in Tokyo, Kansai, and Sendai host exclusive resident-only exchange events.

BORDERLESS HOUSE Event | End-of-Year Party 2024 at Xinyi-Anhe1!

As 2025 arrives, how much of your wishlist from 2024 have you accomplished? Did you finally embark on that long-awaited journey, master a new skill, or meet more people?

Over the past year, BORDERLESS HOUSE and our tenants have shared many wonderful moments. The end of the year is always a perfect time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future.

On December 14, BORDERLESS HOUSE hosted an end-of-year party, bringing together tenants from 11 different share houses. Through this heartwarming event, we closed the chapter of 2024 on a high note and look forward to the exciting new beginnings of the year ahead!

Icebreaker Moment: The First Step from Strangers to Understanding!


The party started with an icebreaker game called “Find Your Partner.” Each tenant received an information card about another tenant, containing hints such as “Which countries have they visited?” or “What unique item would they recommend bringing on a trip?” Tenants actively mingled and exchanged conversations to find their designated partners.

This game made it easy for everyone to start chatting and helped ease the awkwardness of meeting new people, replacing it with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

Exciting Team Challenges: A Spirited Showdown with “Pick a Side” and Guessing Game!


Next, BORDERLESS HOUSE staff divided the tenants into two teams for some group competition. The first game, “True or False: Pick a Side,” was filled with surprises and laughter. The questions, mostly about Taiwan, seemed simple at first, but the answers often turned out to be unexpected.

When the host revealed the correct answers, the Taiwanese tenants had a higher error rate than the international ones, sparking waves of laughter. Everyone participated enthusiastically, creating an atmosphere brimming with cheers and joyous energy.

The next highlight was the “Guessing Game.” Teams took turns asking the host questions, who could only respond with “YES” or “NO.” With limited clues, both teams showcased impressive reasoning skills and communication to figure out the answers. The excitement in the room grew with every guess, and in the end, the scores were neck and neck, making it a close and thrilling competition.

As the games progressed and the evening darkened, hunger began to set in. After the games concluded, while waiting for the delicious food to be served, everyone took part in a sticker voting activity to select the MVP✨ of the day.

Hot Oden and Intercultural Connections: The MVP Celebration and the Bond of Friendship

The staff prepared hot oden, paired with Taiwanese-style desserts and drinks, allowing tenants to not only warm their bodies but also bring everyone closer together.

Next came the MVP award ceremony. Congratulations to Alice from Taipei Station 1 and Felix from Songjiang Nanjing 1 for receiving this honor, along with specially prepared outfits as their prizes. A fun twist occurred when another Felix (from Banqiao Xinpu 1) wore the honorary outfit during the group photo, adding even more joy to the event.

After the event, many tenants made plans to visit the nearby Linjiang Street Night Market and Taipei 101, allowing the friendships formed at the party to continue to grow!

This event was another great demonstration of the core values of BORDERLESS HOUSE—where language and cultural differences are not obstacles, but bridges that help form deep connections. We look forward to more opportunities in the future to create wonderful moments with residents from all over the world!

The 2025 Spring Early Bird Campaign is now live!


BORDERLESS HOUSE thanks every tenant for their companionship and support in 2024, and we look forward to sharing even more wonderful moments with you in 2025.

The 2025 Spring Early Bird campaign is now live! Spring is a time for new beginnings, so why not take this opportunity to find your ideal home and meet friends from around the world?

A Night of Connection: BORDERLESS NOMIKAI in Tokyo

One of the most exciting events at BORDERLESS HOUSE Tokyo was the Big Drinking Party, or “Nomikai (飲み会) ,” which brought together over 50 residents from 22 share houses across Tokyo. Participants mingled with drinks in hand, practicing their English and Japanese while enjoying the lively atmosphere. The lively gathering didn’t stop there! Many residents continued the fun with a second round of festivities, creating an energetic and welcoming atmosphere that highlights the spirit of living in share houses in Tokyo.

The concept of a “Nomikai” is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. It’s a social event where colleagues, friends, or community members gather over drinks, often to build relationships and relax outside of their daily routines. At BORDERLESS HOUSE, events like this allow residents—both locals and foreigners living in Tokyo’s share houses—to experience authentic aspects of Japanese culture while forming meaningful international friendships.

Summer Fireworks Celebration in Kyoto

Japan is famous for its stunning summer fireworks festivals, known as hanabi festivals, which light up the night sky from July to August. Major cities like Tokyo and Osaka host renowned events, such as the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival in Tokyo and the Yodogawa Fireworks Festival in Osaka, attracting thousands of attendees.

Additionally, there are many smaller festivals in the Kansai region that offer special experiences, complete with food stalls and traditional yukata outfits. These lively celebrations not only highlight Japan’s rich culture but also give people a chance to connect with others and make lasting memories during warm summer nights.

The Kansai Fireworks Event was a standout moment of the summer for residents of BORDERLESS HOUSE. This amazing event brought together people from different share houses in Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, creating an unforgettable evening filled with light, color, and community.

Lake Biwa Outing: Bringing Together the Kansai Share House Community

Residents from BORDERLESS HOUSE share houses in Osaka and Kyoto came together for a memorable day out at Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake known for its stunning views and crystal-clear waters. Located just a short trip from Kyoto, Lake Biwa is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a perfect setting for outdoor activities and relaxation.

The gathering was an ideal opportunity for both new and long-term residents to bond through shared experiences. New residents were warmly welcomed into the fold, experiencing firsthand the inclusive and friendly atmosphere that BORDERLESS HOUSE is known for. Together, they made hot dogs, enjoyed swimming in the lake, and spent time taking in the natural beauty around them.

Language Exchange: Enhancing Language Skills and Friendships in Tokyo Share House

At BORDERLESS HOUSE Tokyo, the recurring language exchange event provides an engaging platform for residents to practice both English and Japanese. This event is particularly popular among those living in share houses across Tokyo, offering a space where locals and foreigners alike can come together to learn from one another, build connections, and improve their language skills in a relaxed environment.

The format of the language exchange is designed to encourage interaction and ease in communication. Conversations are guided by various topics, from daily life and culture to personal interests, ensuring participants can practice both casual and structured communication. 

For participants, the benefits extend beyond just language improvement. Practicing with native speakers enhances listening and speaking skills in a natural, supportive setting, boosting confidence for everyday interactions in Japan. It also helps residents gain insight into cultural nuances and local expressions, enriching their overall experience of living in a Tokyo share house.

For foreign tenants, these exchanges are an invaluable way to immerse themselves in Japanese culture while building friendships that make their time in Japan more meaningful.
