Your 2025 Guide to Moving to Japan: Embrace a Year of New Beginnings

Japan is a country of incredible diversity, with each region offering its own unique blend of culture, lifestyle, and opportunities.

Whether you’re drawn to the natural beauty of the north, the bustling energy of the east, the rich traditions of the west, or the relaxed charm of the south, Japan has something for everyone. Choosing the right area to live in is a big decision that can shape your experience, whether you’re moving for study, work, or adventure.

This blog will guide you through the key differences between Japan’s regions and help you decide which area best matches your lifestyle and goals.

Exploring Japan’s Regions：North, South, East, or West—What Each Region Offers

When it comes to living in Japan, each region offers a unique experience tailored to different lifestyles and preferences. From the serene landscapes of the north to the vibrant cities in the west, there’s a perfect place for everyone. Here’s a quick guide to Japan’s four main regions to help you decide where to start your journey in 2025.

Experience the Energy of the East – Tokyo and Beyond

For those craving the excitement of a bustling metropolis, Tokyo and its surrounding areas in eastern Japan are the place to be. As Japan’s economic and cultural hub, Tokyo offers endless opportunities for career growth, networking, and entertainment. Whether you’re navigating the fast-paced city streets or enjoying its diverse food scene, Tokyo never runs out of things to explore. BORDERLESS HOUSE Tokyo provides centrally located share houses, offering both convenience and community in the heart of the action.

Discover Tranquility in the North – Tohoku (Sendai)

The Tohoku region, home to Sendai, is perfect for those who seek a calm and nature-filled lifestyle. Known as the “City of Trees,” Sendai combines a relaxed atmosphere with modern conveniences. With lush greenery, nearby hot springs, and cultural festivals like the Sendai Tanabata Matsuri, it’s a haven for students and professionals alike. BORDERLESS HOUSE Sendai offers a welcoming community, making it easier to settle in and connect with locals and other residents.

Immerse Yourself in Tradition in the West – Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka)

Kansai, home to cities like Kyoto and Osaka, is the cultural heart of Japan. Kyoto enchants with its historical temples and serene tea houses, while Osaka’s vibrant streets and famous food scene bring a more modern flair. Kansai is ideal for those who want a mix of tradition and lively city life. BORDERLESS HOUSE locations in Kyoto and Osaka offer the perfect base for exploring this fascinating region while connecting with like-minded residents.

Embrace Warmth and Adventure in the South – Kyushu and Okinawa

If you’re drawn to warm climates and a slower pace of life, the southern regions of Kyushu and Okinawa are ideal. With subtropical beaches, active volcanoes, and unique cultural festivals, these areas are perfect for adventurers and nature lovers. Although BORDERLESS HOUSE doesn’t currently operate in Kyushu or Okinawa, the region’s charm makes it a popular choice for short-term getaways or long-term stays.

Matching Your Lifestyle with Japan’s Diverse Regions

Choosing the best region in Japan depends on your goals, preferences, and needs. Whether you prioritize career growth, cultural exploration, or a peaceful lifestyle, Japan’s diverse regions offer something for everyone. By considering factors like accessibility, opportunities, and community, you can find the perfect fit for your next adventure in 2025.

For Career Growth and Networking – Tokyo and Surrounding Areas

Tokyo is the center of Japan’s economy and culture, making it ideal for those focused on career development and professional networking. The city is home to global companies, international events, and diverse industries, offering countless opportunities for growth.

Living in a centrally located BORDERLESS HOUSE Tokyo share house puts you close to business hubs, transportation, and cultural landmarks, ensuring you stay connected to everything the city has to offer.

For Cultural Immersion – Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe)

Kansai is perfect for those who want to experience the depth of Japanese traditions. Kyoto’s temples, Osaka’s vibrant festivals, and Kobe’s cultural blend offer a unique perspective on Japan’s rich heritage.

A share house in Kyoto or Osaka provides the perfect mix of access to historic sites and opportunities to engage in cultural exchange with like-minded residents.

For Nature and a Calm Lifestyle – Tohoku (Sendai)

Sendai, the gateway to the Tohoku region, is known for its greenery, fresh air, and relaxing pace of life. Ideal for students and professionals who want to escape the hustle of larger cities, Sendai also offers easy access to nature and cultural sites.

BORDERLESS HOUSE Sendai provides a supportive and international community near Tohoku University and Sendai Station, making it a perfect choice for those looking to balance tranquility with convenience.

For Adventure and Warmth – Kyushu and Okinawa

If outdoor adventures and warm weather appeal to you, Kyushu and Okinawa offer subtropical beaches, hiking trails, and rich cultural festivals. These regions are perfect for explorers seeking a laid-back atmosphere.

Why Sendai Stands Out for International Students

When choosing where to live in Japan, Sendai offers a perfect balance of affordability and convenience, especially for international students. Known for its vibrant student life and welcoming atmosphere, Sendai provides a high quality of life without the high costs of bigger cities like Tokyo.

Affordable Living in Sendai

Living in Sendai is significantly more affordable compared to cities like Tokyo. From rent to dining out, the cost of living in Sendai allows students to stretch their budget further. A typical one-bedroom apartment or student accommodation near the Tohoku University area is much more reasonably priced (around 40,000 ~ 60000 per month), making it easier for students to focus on their studies without financial stress.

Top Universities and Educational Opportunities in Sendai

Sendai is home to some of Japan’s most respected universities, making it a hub for academic excellence and diversity. Popular universities in the city include:

● Tohoku University: One of Japan’s top-ranked national universities, known for its strong research programs.
● Miyagi University of Education: Focused on teacher training and education studies.
● Tohoku Gakuin University: A private university with a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs.
● Miyagi University: Specializes in business, design, and food innovation.
● Sendai National College of Technology: Offers specialized technical and engineering education.

These universities attract students from around the world, creating a vibrant and multicultural student community.

There are also many Japanese Language Schools in Sendai. They provide Japanese language programs designed to suit all levels, from beginner to advanced, helping students improve their skills while understanding Japanese customs. Such as: Sendai Language School, Mirai no Mori Gakuen, Toyo International Culture Academy, and more.

Easy Access with Sendai’s Efficient Transportation System

Sendai boasts a reliable and well-connected transportation network, making it easy for students to navigate the city and beyond. The subway lines, buses, and JR East rail services provide seamless access to universities and local attractions. For students living near the Tohoku University area or in the city center, commuting is quick, with most key locations accessible within 10–20 minutes.

What’s more, Sendai is perfectly positioned for travel across Japan. From Sendai Station, you can directly take the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Tokyo in just 1.5 hours. If you’re heading to Osaka or Kyoto, flights from Sendai Airport take less than 2 hours, and reaching the airport is easy with a direct connection that takes only about 30 minutes by train.

Sendai’s excellent transport options make it not only a great city to live in but also a convenient base for exploring the rest of Japan.

Discover Rich Cultural Experiences in Sendai

Sendai is full of exciting cultural opportunities that are perfect for international students looking to explore Japanese traditions.

Experience the Sendai Tanabata Matsuri

The Sendai Tanabata Matsuri, held every August, is one of the city’s most famous festivals. Streets are decorated with stunning, colorful streamers and intricate designs, showcasing the beauty of traditional Japanese arts and crafts. This lively event is a must-see for anyone wanting to experience authentic Japanese culture.

Taste Sendai’s Local Specialties

●Gyutan (Beef Tongue): A must-try dish in Sendai, gyutan is grilled to perfection and served with rice and soup, offering a uniquely savory flavor.
●Zunda (Sweet Edamame Paste): This regional sweet treat, made from mashed edamame, is used in mochi and other desserts, showcasing a lighter, earthy sweetness that’s distinctly Japanese.

Daily Opportunities to Practice Japanese

One of the most attractive aspects of living here is the opportunity to connect not only with housemates from your own share house, but also with residents from other share houses, making new friends across the Borderless network.

Our annual large-scale Halloween event is just one of those chances to expand your circle and make lasting connections!

Aside from the free chat time, the staff organized small games and even held an award ceremony for the best-dressed participants.

Laughter and lively conversations filled the venue as residents from different countries and languages came together to exchange and enjoy the evening.

The Best Dressed Award went to Kiki from “Kiki’s Delivery Service,” who was very popular with the international housemates and received the most votes.

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.
