The international share house with big capacity of 24 people

Borderless House Osaka-Tamatsukuri is a big sharehouse which has the capacity of 3 stories for 24 people.

The more capacity, the more chances for communication!

If you are worried whether or not you can establish closer relationship due to its capacity…, please no worries! We provide a relaxing cozy community space where everyone in the House can gather. You can also communicate with other tenants who live on a different floor.

One of significant features of this House is that all rooms on the 6th floor are female only. Especially for women who live in a share house for their first time can satisfy its safety.

Easy access to everywhere in Central Osaka!

This House is close to Imazato station on Sennichimae subway line and Tamatsukuri station on JR Osaka Kanjo line. You can easily access to major stations in Central Osaka within 15 min., such as Osaka (Umeda), Namba, Shinsaibashi, Tennoji, Kyobashi, and more.

The house is located in a very convenient environment with a convenience store, police box, supermarket, drug store, bank, TSUTAYA, nostalgic shopping street, and greenery park.

Community space with lots of fun

Big community space on the 6th floor for all tenants!

You can enjoy watching movies with a big screen, playing board games, and even playing table tennis. There is also a bar corner by the window. It’s nice drinking together with your housemates & beautiful night view!

There are 3 floors, but you can meet anyone in such a fun community space on the 6th floor.

House equipment / Security

We could carefully design equipments and its security, because this building itself is a brand new.

If you care about the toilet, shower rooms, and wash stands, you don’t have to worry about those equipment.
We equip adequate numbers of those facilities on every floor. No irritating even especially in busy morning.
There are 2-3 IH stoves, so our tenants can enjoy cooking together.

Reliable security of key to each room, self-locking main entrance to the building, security key for using elevators! NON-tenants cannot easily access to the House, so you can live in a safe environment.

Multigenerational Share House

Much more fun in this Borderless House Osaka-Tamatsukuri!

Seasonal events, such as parties, potluck, and more are organized occasionally. Those events are for not only our tenants, but also all tenants who live on the 1st to 5th floor in this building.

We hope those events give you opportunities to enjoy experience multigenerational and multicultural experiences!

Event report: 【Borderless House Christmas Party 2016】 who was the winner of 1 month rent free ticket!?

Hello, this is Chisa from Borderless House. 
 
On 18th of December, we have hosted 【Borderless House X’MAS Party 2016】!!!
We would like to thank everybody for joining us! 
 
This year the party was held based on the theme: “hirogaru, tsunagaru” (directly translated as “binding together and widening”),
meaning it’s an opportunity for all the guests ad friends to get together, 
regardless of nationality, language and which houses the guests are from. 
 
Here is how the event went: 
 
The party was held at an Italian restaurant in Shibuya -the warm and cozy atmosphere welcomed all our guests!
 
We were the MC -thank you all for your patience! 
 
The party began with a warm up game before the toast; “Hi five self introduction game!”
The guests need to do hi five with 3 people when their eyes meet, and introduce themselves 
(name, nationality, which house he/she is from, hobby and etc.)
After the self introduction is done with 3 people, the guests are handed their first drinks and a BINGO card. 
 
The toast was called as follows: “To the many encouters of tonight! Kanpai (=cheers)!”
 
 
Looks like the guests have warmed up at the first free talk session, 
and are feeling much more comfortable mingling with the ones that just met!
The guests were to fill in the blanks by writing in each others’ names.
 
Then the next game was the highlight of the event: BINGO! 
Everybody was all pumped up to become winners! 
After the 7 winners were chosen, there was a lottery to decide which winner is going to win which prize”
 
The guy in the middle won the booby prize…(=a throat coat candy, swabs and a sushi key chain)
 
He won the second prize…(= tickets to Yokohama Cosmo World for 4 people)
 
I hope he can go with all his housemates!
And last but not least, he was the first prize winner! 
 
Congratulations on winning 1 month free rent ticket!!! 
“I will throw a big house party and everybody here is invited!” was the comment he made on the spot 🙂
Let’s look forward to the party then? Omedeto gozaimasu!
 
 
The party ended in a great success, thanks to all our fellow tenants and their friends for joining us!
There was also an after party which half of the guests have gone to! Awesome!
 
We are more than happy that the party became a wonderful opportunity for our tenants from different houses to get to know each other,
and most of all, to have a merry Christmas together! 
 
We hope to see you at the next event! 
Thank you once again to all the guests who made it to the party,
and merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!

FREE HOUSE EXCHANGE Ran 台灣台北 日本東京

哈囉!! 這裡是台灣的BORDERLESS HOUSE!

今天想和大家分享我們BORDERLESS HOUSE善導寺 1的其中一位房客Ran，在這個11月7號~17號，大約10天的時間參與了我們的免費海外物件交換計畫去了日本旅行!!!並入住BORDERLESS Japan的櫻上水1HOUSE唷!

我們來看看他的介紹吧!!

:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*

☺ Ran的自我介紹

來自美國的28歲男生。之前在美國的工作是擔任食品開發人員!現在來台灣學習中文。會選擇Borderless House的原因是希望能藉由這個環境去認識新朋友，然後有機會開口練習中文。也很喜歡所有親近大自然的戶外活動!

會參與這個物件交換計畫是因為我必須要更新我在台灣的簽證，所以必須要出國一趟。既然Borderless提供了完全免費的物件交換，我想說有何不可!那就去日本吧!而且出國在外，回到家後有一群新室友迎接你也比回到空無一人的飯店房間好♥

✔讓我們看看在他回來之後的感想及回饋!!

:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*

(Ran 是最左邊的那一位^^ 和富士山及他的新室友)

Q1. 這次的日本物件交換覺得如何呢？

我覺得是個很棒的旅行!上次我去日本時只有在一個固定區域旅行觀光。這次我用住宿費省下來的錢買了JR鐵道周遊卷。

這次的旅程從北海道札幌開始，在札幌住了幾個晚上後搭了夜間巴士去了函館。然後用JR Pass從函館搭新幹線去了東京，開始了Share house生活!

 

以東京為起點，又四處去了很多不同的地方，日光、木曾谷、甲府市、輕井澤、京都、奈良、新瀉，然後也去了富士五湖（爬山居多）。從濕黏的台灣都市來到日本，讓我又吸到了冷冷的新鮮空氣，看到了秋天的顏色。

Q2. 有什麼想和大家分享的難忘回憶嗎?

在富士山時，我和我的室友們從三つ峠山荘開始攻頂（路途３～４公里，標高１７００公尺），登頂過程中的幾個小時雖然真的爬到筋疲力盡，但是登頂後，從富士山山頂往下看到的景色真的讓人覺得什麼都值得了!回程時我們走另外一條路線，伴隨著日出，慢慢下山。

Q3. 有任何想說的話嗎?

我的新室友們都很有趣，和他們聊天很愉快，我的旅程也因此變得好玩不少。我真的希望我能待得比10天更久一些。

下面來看看他的照片分享!!

Ran真的利用了這次機會去了日本好多地方!我們也都會不由自主地替他覺得開心和充實，在看他的分享文時也覺得很享受呢!

他利用省下來的住宿費買了JR鐵道周遊卷去了好多不同地方，能在我們房客旅行時幫助到他們，即使是一點點，我們也都會覺得開心。

物件交換計畫能提供更多機會給我們的房客去認識當地的室友並體會當地的文化。目前我們在日本、韓國、台灣都有很多物件，你可以免費的待在任何一個物件!!

✫如果你已經是我們的房客，並且對這項計畫有興趣的話，請不要猶豫快點參加吧!!

A new large-scale international share house, coexisting with the locals, opens March 2017 in Kamigamo, Kyoto!

Kyoto – where tradition is still alive. Our share house in Kamigamo, Kyoto

From Kamigamo Shrine, a World Heritage site, Kamogawa River flowing by, to the Shakemachi area where the share house is located – the whole town of Kamigamo is defined by its many cultural heritages of ancient Kyoto.

Right beside Kamigamo Shrine (Kamo Wake-ikazuchi Shrine), famous for its Aoi Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto, an international share house opens from March 2017.

＜Borderless House Kyoto-kamigamo＞
http://www.borderless-house-zh.com/jp/kamigamo/

3 Good Points about Kyoto-kamigamo Share House

1. A large scale share house with tenants from all kinds of backgrounds. The first 20 people large-scale share house in Kansai!

Its appeal lies especially in the traditionally Japanese outer appearance, fitting perfectly in the cityscape of Kamigamo, as well as the 70 square meter living room perfect for getting together with your housemates.

And if you need to get your mind off things from time to time, just take a good book and some tea to relax on the terrace.

In addition, all rooms on the second floor are loft-type, giving you even more space for yourself!

2. Expand your circle of friends! A share house for both international and regional exchange

Until now, the concept of Borderless House was all about international exchange. Borderless House Kyoto-kamigamo takes this to another level by creating a concept of both  international and regional exchange.

There are all kinds of events organized by the local neighborhood committee, sports festivals, and events collaborating with the local residents or university clubs.

Apart from international exchange, this share house is loved by the local community for its active participation in community revitalization and multi-generational exchange.

In addition, you can enjoy seasonal events such as Aoi Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto, or the monthly market held at Kamigamo Shrine.

3. Well-featured living conditions in a beautiful townscape – the perfect location


(Photo by (c)Tomo.Yun / http://www.yunphoto.net)

Kamigamo, Kyoto – you might think it is nothing more than a sightseeing spot, with Kamigamo Shrine as its only attraction. But in reality, it is a safe and convenient area with surprisingly many university students living here.

Daily groceries can be done at a Coop supermarket and a 100 Yen Lawson store nearby, both especially popular among university students.

In addition, bakeries, and Gyoza no Ohsho (the main food provider for Kyoto’s students) as well as many other bars and restaurants are in the neighborhood, so you will not have any inconveniences in daily life.

(Source: http://neomartvs.ldblog.jp/)

And the best part : Kyoto’s leading fashion quarter, Kitayama, is only 5 minutes away from the house by bicycle.

Kitayama is especially frequented by young people, for its many stylish cafes and restaurants and modern townscape, and is always in the top ranks of Kyoto’s most popular quarters to live in.

Gift shops, cafes, restaurants, botanic gardens, art galleries – Kitayama is the perfect place for a fun weekend stroll!


Also, you might know Kawaramachi as one of the busiest quarters in Kyoto.

From the house, you can reach Kawaramachi by bus without having to change lines!
It might take 35-40 minutes to get there, but Kamigamo Shrine Is the terminal station, enabling you to get a seat even during crowded times.

The bus stop “Kamigamo Shrine” is only 3 minutes from the house on foot.
The closest train stations are Kitaoji Station and Kitayama Station. Both can be reached within 5 minutes by bicycle!

☆Great access to several universities and major train stations☆

If you are a student, the access to your university is a big deal.
I actually took my bicycle to see how far it is…

–Otani University: 8 min. by bicycle
It is right beside Kitaoji Station, so you can have a fun bike ride through the shopping street.

–Doshisha University: 13 min. by bicycle
Just 1.5 km further downhill from Otani University!

–Kyoto University: 18 min. by bicycle
Riding alongside scenic Kamogawa River while listening to some music will bring you to Aobashi Bridge in no time! From there, go further until Kamigamo-ohashi Bridge and you will find yourself on Kyoto University’s Yoshida Campus.

–Kyoto Sangyo University: 10 min. by shuttle bus (bus stop: 3 min. from the house)
I’m sorry… I took the bus instead… ;_;
The shuttle bus from Kamigamo Shrine to Kyoto Sangyo University is always crowded with students.

A newly constructed building, a great community and location – all combined in this share house!
Why don’t you become a part of Kyoto-kamigamo share house?

Borderless House Kyoto-kamigamo Supporters

At Kyoto-kamigamo House, we are looking for people who will liven up the share house together with us, and make Kyoto-kamigamo House as well as the local area’s characteristics known to a broader range of people!

＜Kyoto Kamigamo Supporters＞

Why not work together with us to liven up life at Borderless House Kyoto-kamigamo?
Supporters will get certain benefits in exchange, such as a discount from the rent!

「在台灣的生活，究竟是如何呢？」~外國房客在台灣台北的生活

哈囉!這裡是BORDERLESS HOUSE台北! 在台北的BORDERLESS HOUSE裡有一位來自法國的房客，他不僅和室友們很好之外，和員工們的感情也非常好！ 在BORDERLESS舉辦的各種活動中常常可以看見他的身影，同時，他看起來也非常享受在台灣的生活，

所以我們和他進行了訪談！想看看他在台灣的生活情形^^

-首先可以先為我們自我介紹嗎?

嗨!我的名字是Samuel。我來自法國，今年27歲。在我來到台灣之前，我於商業學校畢業後，我在巴黎擔任數位行銷顧問，工作了三年。我很喜歡各種運動，特別是我從小到大練習的籃球。平常空閒的時候，我也喜歡看影集和電影，或是和朋友一起出去玩。 (Samuel和朋友一起參加了台灣國慶日的慶祝活動!)

-為什麼會想要來台灣呢? 來台灣的目的是什麼?

當我就讀大學的時候，我和一些台灣人成為了好朋友。不過很難過的是，在畢業之後他們就必須回到台灣，而我也到了巴黎去工作，我們因此而分開了。在三年之後，我決定想要到亞洲國家生活，展開新的經驗。很顯然的台灣一定會是我的選擇。而且在來台灣以前，我也聽說了許多關於台灣好的事情。我非常開心可以實現我的想法在這裡生活！我目前正在台灣文化大學學習中文，希望之後我能夠在這裡找到工作，在台灣多待上幾年。 (Samuel因為大學時期認識的台灣人好朋友及因為想學習中文而來到台灣。他日前參加了一個全球文化交流的企劃，擔任了國際文化大使，到基隆的學校教台灣的小朋友法文唷！)  

-現在你來台灣多久了呢? 可以跟我們分享你目前為止在台灣的生活嗎?

時光飛逝… 我已經來到台灣六個多月了。到目前為止，我真的非常的享受在這裡的生活。在台灣的生活和法國的生活有很大的差異，我常常有新的發現。不過我覺得台灣生活非常得方便便利，對於想要在亞洲國家生活的西方人來說，會是一個不錯的起點。我的日常生活就是，平常周一到週五我都會到學校上課學習中文，而週末或是有假期的時候，我會利用這些時間在台灣旅遊，到目前為止我已經去過了不少的地方，例如：花蓮、台東、綠島、台南、台中….等地。當然我也很喜歡在台北市區或是近郊活動，不管是在觀光景點觀光、爬山或是到海邊放鬆．．．在台北有太多太多的事情可以做了！我在幾個月之前也開始練習太極，我覺得這是一個讓我可以更能夠接觸認識到亞洲文化的一個方式。而身為一個運動愛好者，我也很常在大安森林公園跑步，或是和我的室友一起去打籃球！在台北有很多的籃球場，而我也因此認識了更多的台灣人！ (Samuel到目前為止已經去很多台灣的各個地方旅遊，台灣真的很美也很豐富！)

-覺得台灣最吸引你的地方是什麼?

如同我之前所說的，我在法國時就對台灣有很好的印象，也聽過許多關於台灣很棒的事情。和中國大陸相比起來，台灣的城市比較小，生活也感覺比較不會有那麼大的壓力。我非常認同，對於外國人來說，台灣是一個非常適合生活的國家。我認為台灣的人們很友善、很樂於幫助人，也很開放。同時生活花費也不會很貴。重點是生活非常得方便，處處都有24小時開著的商店、餐廳或是路邊攤!如果你來台灣，你一定要到夜市去試試看！而且在這裡的交通非常便利，你可以很容易而且快速得抵達你想要去的地方、到處旅遊！ (Samuel覺得台灣人很親切友善，而且在台灣的生活非常得便利！他也透過到處旅遊深入的體驗了在台灣的當地生活。)  

-在台灣的生活對你來說覺得最辛苦的地方是什麼呢?

首先，我覺得第一個就是語言障礙的問題，特別是到了餐廳的時候。在當地的小餐館很難可以找到會說英文的人，而這裡的食物又和我習慣的法國食物非常得不同，所以在一開始對我來說蠻辛苦的。另外一件事就是我必須要習慣這裡的天氣，在台灣，夏天的天氣非常得炎熱潮濕，我從來沒有看過這麼多的雨（笑）

-那接著來談談在BORDERLESS HOUSE的生活吧! 對於目前在這裡的生活你覺得怎麼樣呢? 可以跟我們分享在家中的生活情形嗎?

很棒！我真的覺得非常的棒！打從第一天開始，我就覺得這裡很像在家裡的感覺。BORDERLESS HOUSE家裡的氣氛非常的友善而且溫暖。雖然家中有許多來自不同的文化背景的人住在一起，不過一切都很好。我一直都很喜歡和很多人相處和生活在一起，所以在這裡的生活讓我感到很開心！我們常常會一起在公共空間聊天，一起吃晚餐或是偶而一起喝喝酒。彼此互相照顧幫助，想是真正的家人一樣，我真的覺得自己非常的幸運可以有這些室友們！真的！當然另一方面是因為一半的室友為台灣人的關係，我也可以常常和它們練習我的中文！這真的是一個很棒的學習中文的方式。 (Samuel 很喜歡大家聚在一起的感覺，這裡的室友們就像他在台灣的家人般，讓他的生活更加開心溫暖。)

-所以當初你是怎麼會想要入住BORDERLESS HOUSE? 又是如何得知BORDERLESS HOUSE的呢?

我一開始就想要在台北找Share House居住，然後我發現BORDERLESS HOUSE所提供的概念非常的有趣。這對我來說是一個非常好的機會，可以去認識當地的人，也可以和當地人住在一起。尤其是當一開始完全不會說當地的語言的時候，BORDERLESS HOUSE能夠幫忙安排好一切，當初尋找在台灣的租屋處時，我覺得這是一個很容易又很安全的管道。而且當時BORDERLESS HOUSE的Staff回應都非常的迅速，也讓人感到很安心且友善。而一開始我是透過台灣很有名的租屋網站而找到BORDERLESS HOUSE的。 (Samuel 和BORDERLESS HOUSE員工的合照！他覺得Staff都很樂意去幫忙所有房客所的需要，不管是當物件內有問題的時候，甚至是房客們的日常生活。)  

-有沒有你覺得在BORDERLESS HOUSE生活或是住在這裡最棒的事情或是印象深刻的事情可以分享給大家呢?

對我來說，有一個舒服舒適的居住環境真的是很重要的一件事。非常感謝也幸運，幸虧有BORDERLESS HOUSE讓我能夠遇見許多很棒很好的人圍繞著我，讓我在這裡的生活經驗更加的難忘而且珍貴！

-你也常常參加了我們舉辦的大大小小的活動，例如桌遊或是萬聖節派對！聽說最近你也剛參加了Free House Exchange計畫!

是的！我非常樂意去參與BORDERLESS HOUSE舉辦的每一個活動！因為對我來說這是一個非常好的機會去認識和遇見更多的人，而且總是非常的開心有趣！我們因為都住在BORDERLESS HOUSE，所以我們能夠分享相同類似的經驗或價值觀，也讓我們更容易貼近彼此。因為參與了Free House Exchange的計畫，也讓我更加享受了我在東京的生活！不管是生活上更加的便利順暢、省錢，我也很開心遇見了更多住在BORDERLESS HOUSE的房客們！我們一起分享了我們過去種種的經驗，不管是在不同的城市國家，或是在BORDERLESS HOUSE的生活等等的！ (在BORDERLESS HOUSE所舉辦的大小活動中都可以看見Samuel的身影! 以上是我們夏天野餐活動及萬聖節活動的照片!)

-以你的經驗，最後可以給正在考慮及想要來台灣的外國朋友們或是將要來台北生活的朋友們什麼建議嗎?

首先，我想說「不要猶豫了！台灣絕對是一個好的選擇！」另外，我也深深推薦給BORDERLESS HOUSE給正在考慮是否要選擇住在這裡的朋友們。我知道有時候多人一起住在一個房間可能也會是一個障礙，但是這裡的居住環境真的非常的棒!房子的空間也夠大可以有你自己小空間。而且BORDERLESS HOUSE的員工們真的都很樂意幫忙一切，無論是任何發生在House裡的事情或者是我們在生活中遇見的困難等等。 (Samuel也參與了我們房客限定的Free House Exchange企劃免費到東京居住我們在日本的Share House唷!)   非常謝謝Samuel的分享! 希望每一位來台灣生活的外國朋友們都可以像Samuel一樣在台灣過的非常開心唷! 查看台灣台北BORDERLESS HOUSE物件一覽>> http://www.borderless-house-zh.com/tw/all/ 查看BORDERLESS HOUSE房客限定專屬企劃>> 免費入住東京&首爾-物件交換 http://www.borderless-house-zh.com/houseexchange/ 語言交換 http://www.borderless-house-zh.com/languageexchange/

Interview for Machiya2 house members! Why Borderless House is different from other share houses, in making a community like real family?

Hi! This is Ayako, a House Manager at Borderless House! This is a long interview for good friends in Machiya2 house, this time. Among the Machiya2 house, we talked with Damien, Giulio, Marco, and Taka who we could meet on the day when Giulio moves out.

Members who moved in here for different “Community” from other companies

– To get straight to the points, why did you come to Borderless House?

Damien: My friends used to be in Japan and he stayed in Borderless House, so he told me about his experience. I read some your competitors, but Borderless house seems better. It seems to be more like community and you care about experience like living in share house being good. Others just focus on “Okay, here is your share house, do what you want to do”. GIulio:  Go! Go! Nihon told me many companies like Sakura House and Oak House, then I checked many share houses. I chose Borderless House because of the image in particular, it seemed good house, it is close to school, Machiya seemed like safe place. ▼Damien(Upper left), Giulio(Upper right), Marco(Lower left), Taka(Lower right)
Marco: I wasn’t in Borderless House at first. I was in a different share house and I wasn’t enjoying it. There were 19 rooms, but people really didn’t talk each other. But, lot of my friends from school were in Borderless House, and I heard there are less people but actually staying together, and seemed nice. Taka: I lived in a share house in Mitaka, where about 30people live in, but people didn’t communicate there too. So, I felt that it is boring. Then, I found Borderless House, and since the community there seemed nice, so I chose to live here. ▼They seems to be in really close relations during interview

Why can Borderless house have home-like community?

– What is different from other share house companies? What do you think different from others?

Marco:  I wasn’t enjoying Japan when I was in the other share house. I just went to school. Then came back home, and I was alone all the night. But, here I come back and we play games, watch movies, and go out. It’s nice. Damien: When you live with strangers, you need kind an excuse to get together to do something. As I said earlier, Borderless House very much make it focus on this is what you should expect, and they encourage communication. So, when you move here, I feel “I should want to talk with people” because they expect me to do it and that is Borderless House is about. So, that’s the excuse. That’s why housemates in Borderlss house become like family. ▼Playing game and watching movies in living room were their favorite

– Giulio and Taka, why did you two live in share room? How was it?

Giulio： I was checking private room at first, but I thought my Japanese will be better if I share with Japanese. If I find Kanji I cannot read, I could ask Taka anytime. School was okay for me but I learned more from Taka. Taka： I shared once before when I was in New Zealand, but I didn’t like it at that time, because I wanted to be alone. But now it is completely different. I really enjoy living with Giulio. I really enjoy living with someone from different countries, different backgrounds, it’s amazing. There is a lot to learn Japanese culture, and also different country’s culture. ▼Giulio and Taka looks like real brothers
Giulio： For the people who are afraid of living in share room, as we talked earlier, in different share house, “This is your share house”, then that’s it. But Borderless House is different. I think it helps you. You can trust me, trust what Borderless House says about this, and don’t be scared. Taka:  If there is any problem, you can just go to other place. If you want to have your own time, you can choose private room. But, share room is reasonable. There is no good or bad.

Calm, but convenient. A perfect place to live comfortably, Machiya

– What is good about Machiya area?

Damien: There is a Chiyoda line, so you can go anywhere easily. It is easy to reach Yamanote Line, and also Air port. It is not central Tokyo, but close enough. Most of other areas are commercial, but Machiya is more like real Japan. Giulio: Machiya is quiet, and you can walk to supermarket in few minutes, there are two convenience stores, and there is hospital, too. Also, it is safe. There is everything. Housemates in Machiya2 house seems to be really good friends like family. They were enjoying interview, making jokes. Right before Giulio’s move out, they even went to Yokohama, to make good memories at last.

Interview for David, who enjoyed socializing across the borders of his own house, even with staff!

Hi, This is Kana from the Borderless House marketing team. We interviewed David from Machiya1 House this time! As he became close to the staff members as well, let’s hear his point of view.

“I got open-minded after living in a share house” – What kind of person is he?

– David, what made you come to Japan and to live in share house?

I had Japanese friends originally, and wanted to change my life a little bit. So, I came here last September(2015). This is my forth visit. I was going to Akamonkai, I chose Machiya1 house since it is walk-able distance and near the station. I looked at Oak House too, but this house in Borderless House seemed closer to school and convenient. Then, I decided whether I live in private room or share room, talking with staff. It was my first time for me to live in a share house, but I got open-minded. When you share a house with others, you understand different cultures and have to be kind and aware of helping each others.

“I could make friends in other houses thanks to staff”

– Since you visited our office often, I think you became closer to staff! What’s the staff like to you?

I think the staff is good! They are friendly and good support. Every time I make payment at your office, I talked with staff. (We were surprised that David became more fluent in Japanese every time he comes to office!) When there were problems with Air conditioner or Internet, Borderless House responded in few hours, and fixed soon. Actually, It was me who touched the device for Internet accidentally, though… I joined Halloween Party held by staff last year too, and it was fun. Also, when there were parties at houses near Machiya1 house, one of staff invited me. That’s why I could make friends with people in Machiya2 house and Kitasenju House. It was good that staff helped me in such a way. Though I didn’t talk Japanese so much in here since housemates were good at English, I talked mainly in Japanese with people in Kitasenju House. ▼BBQ with people in Kitasenju House

Perfect house for “people who are not into party but want to talk with people

– What kind of people do you recommend this house to?

Machiya1 house is more for people who are not into party, but want to talk to people, having their own life. This house is perfect for such people. Also, Machiya is really convenient. There are many lines at Machiya station including Chiyoda line, and Machiya1 house is close to station. Besides, there are many food shops in Machiya. By the way, my favorite is “Jirorian(ジロリアン 町屋店)”.(※The ramen shop related to famous ramen chain shops”Jiro”) You can eat a lot with at cheap. ▼Last day at Machiya1 House. Seeing off by a housemate If you want to put importance on living comfortable and having your own life, not only enjoying international exchange, I see Machiya1 House is good environment to live in!
