Private first
Not alone, but on your own.
This isn't a share house where everyone gathers in the living room.
Every room is private, and there are no social events.
It sits right between the quiet of living alone and the economics of sharing.

answered up front.
Anything else on your mind?

Can I stay for less than a year?
You can move in for as little as one month! Stays shorter than one year are priced differently, so just let us know how long you'd like to stay.
What are the move-in costs?
There's no deposit or key money, and no agency fee when you apply through our website. A security deposit is required to secure your room.
Are utilities and internet extra?
Electricity, gas, water, household supplies, cleaning of shared areas and Wi-Fi are all covered by the ¥15,000 monthly common fee. As a rule, there are no separate contracts or bills.
What's in the room and the shared areas?
Each room has a bed, desk and chair, lighting, a kitchenette, fridge, indoor drying rack and shoe cabinet. The shared area has a microwave, toaster, kettle, rice cooker, vacuum cleaner and portable IH cooktop — you can take the IH, rice cooker and vacuum to your room.
Can I view the room?
Of course! Just get in touch through the contact form on our website.
Can international residents move in?
Yes. Students, working people and international residents of any gender are welcome. Rent can be paid by bank transfer, by credit card (fee applies), or via Wise from overseas.
Will I have to socialize with other residents?
No — there are no social events. Every room is private; only the toilet and shower are shared. It's a home for people who value their own time.
