Borderless House was introduced by the magazine “Asia no Tomo(アジアの友)” over 5 pages, as one of the spotlighted accommodation for foreign students in Japan!
In this article, we would like to focus especially on “Why is Borderless House popular among foreign students in Japan?”, referring to the contents in the magazine.
“Meeting Japanese” is important than living by themselves
・・・We experienced the difficulties of finding accommodation for foreign people. We felt that this is significant problem in Japan, thus we started to manage the accommodation for foreign people by ourselves to solve that problem. After we searched what kind of life foreign people spend in Japan,
we found out that they could hardly meet Japanese…(From the article in the magazine)
Though it is hard for foreign students to live in an apartment because it usually requires a guarantor and a long contract term, more real estate companies are getting positive to accept foreign people recently.
However, share house is still popular among foreign students, because they cannot get a chance to make Japanese friends and to use Japanese if they live alone, despite they come all the way to Japan.
Our efforts on finding tenants and house to maximize the interaction among tenants
・・・To make an environment for foreign people to know Japan more, we decided to start a share house where half Japanese and half foreign people live together. What we put importance when we find a property is the position and the size of living room, which is the most important place for communication among tenants. We lay out a living room of all houses so that tenants can see each other at least once a day. Also, we ask tenants not to bring their own TV or home electronics into their own rooms, so they use refrigerators and microwaves in living room・・・
(From the article in the magazine)
For such foreign students who are longing for making Japanese friends, we are putting efforts to deepen the interaction among tenants.
Half of the tenants are Japanese
One of the remarkable feature of the Borderless House is the ratio of nationalities in each house. We balance the ratio of Japanese to foreign people 50:50, which makes the environment for foreign people to live with Japanese for sure.
“Big living room” “No Home electronics in each room”
Additionally, we arrange the each room, furniture, and consumer electronics carefully, to promote the daily communication.
In this way, we are putting efforts to make the living environment where foreign students can always communicate with Japanese and make friends with them, which makes Borderless House special among a number of share houses in Japan.

Interaction with foreigners also attract Japanese

However, you might wonder why it is popular to Japanese too.
Actually, since many foreign people comes to Borderless House to meet with Japanese, that’ s why Japanese also enjoy staying here, because they choose to Borderless House to communicate with foreign people.

Share House in Ueno, Asakusa, Akihabara area
Ask staff to introduce share houses
We often went to Shimokitazawa too.
Our favorite place to gather with everyone was “Doma Doma”, and we often went to karaoke too. Close by is a bar called “Banana Moon”, and they have all kinds of alcohol from all over the world there. I would definitely recommend that place!
Close to the house, there is a small shop I often went to called “Kinjiro”, where the fruits are really delicious. Also, I can recommend the Genghis Khan (grilled mutton) curry at “Magic Spice”, a very popular soup curry place!
Not only is it close to Shibuya and Shimokitazawa, but the house’s surroundings are convenient for your daily life as well. There is always a new place nearby to go with your housemates, plus the house is newly built with great facilities. 
Our unique interior:
The private rooms are equipped with a stylish desk and chair.
The living room just needs one last effort until completion!
Around Ikejiri-ohashi, there is a park with lots of greenery as well as many stylish shops, perfect for going out with your housemates on the weekend.
No matter if you are an experienced share house resident or not – why not build a brand new community with the other original members?
