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.

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 Gakuin University: A private university with a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs.
Miyagi University: Specializes in business, design, and food innovation.

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

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 SchoolMirai no Mori GakuenToyo 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.
