House
To those who visit Japan from abroad for various reasons such as studying, work, working holiday, etc.:
If there were a place where you could get both a safe place to live and new connections with Japanese people, don’t you think your life in Japan would surely expand from there?
Kizunaya Sharehouse is a sharehouse where you can realize this kind of daily life. The house has an active community and is not only a place where you just “live”, but also “connect”!
Many foreign nationals have lived in our houses as their “second home in Japan” and have returned home with experiences and connections that have made them fall in love with Japan even more.
In this article, we will introduce the charms of Hearth Musashiurawa, a sharehouse especially friendly to foreigners.

This sharehouse is located in a residential area at the southern tip of Saitama Prefecture, about a 10 minute walk from Musashiurawa Station. Musashiurawa Station is a convenient station with two train lines, the JR Saikyo Line and Musashino Line, and Ikebukuro Station is only 17 minutes away by train. Major metropolitan centers such as Shinjuku and Shibuya are also accessible within 30 minutes.
Despite this convenient location, the rent is reasonable compared to the city center. In front of the station, there is a large shopping mall, supermarket, restaurants, bookstores, and other amenities to make your life easier. Meanwhile, a short distance away from the station, you will find a quiet residential area where you can enjoy a calm life. The convenience of the city and peaceful everyday life. The greatest charm of Kizuna Sharehouse Hearth is that you can have a good balance of both.
Hearth Musashiurawa has 80 all-private rooms. Although the space is compact, you can start your life with peace of mind while also ensuring that you have time to yourself.
What is even more attractive is the very inexpensive rent for this area. It is a great advantage to be able to live in such a convenient location, with 17 minutes to Ikebukuro and 2 train lines available, while keeping costs down.
*The rooms are compact in size, but they come fully furnished and lockable, and are designed to be perfect for your first time living in Japan.
In this sharehouse, people from diverse backgrounds, both Japanese and non-Japanese, live together.
Communication among residents is usually very active in all Kizunaya sharehouses, but the concept of international exchange in this house in particular has attracted many Japanese residents who want to make international friends.
It is an environment where English and Japanese are spoken on a daily basis. Many Japanese people gather here to study English, making it an attractive environment for language exchange.
When renting a room for the first time in Japan, a common concern is the high initial cost. It is not unusual for a normal rental property to cost several hundred thousand yen in total, including the deposit, key money, broker’s commission, and purchase of furniture and appliances.
When moving in from abroad, we often hear that people have a very difficult time with the many procedures and complicated contracts involved in renting a regular apartment.
In this regard, Kizunaya sharehouses require no deposit, key money, or guarantor. Furthermore, the rooms are furnished with beds, desks, and storage space, and common areas are equipped with appliances and facilities such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, and Wi-Fi. With only an initial cost of 44,000 yen and monthly rent, you can start living in Japan with only one suitcase and start your new life right away.
That is the biggest advantage of choosing a sharehouse.
English-speaking staff, online viewings, and pre-departure reservations also available!
Kizunaya provides support for inquiries in English, online previews, and advance reservations from overseas. We have a flexible support system for those who want to look for a room even though they are not in Japan yet, who want to preview a room but cannot go there, or who want to move in as soon as their visa and immigration timing are decided.
In fact, in the past we have received inquiries from a variety of countries, including Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, and Germany, and we have a wealth of experience moving in from overseas. Before and after moving in, our staff provides orientation and lifestyle support, so those who are anxious about living in Japan can use our houses with peace of mind.
Even though the sharehouse is situated in a convenient area only 15 minutes from Tokyo, the rent is surprisingly reasonable. However, we don’t think of a sharehouse as just a cheap place to live in.
After all, the best part of a sharehouse is getting to live in a close-knit community that transcends nationality and language.
This is especially true if you are starting your life in a distant foreign country. We want you to make lifelong friends and connections in Japan through living together, and hope to provide an experience that will last a lifetime.
We operate with this in mind.
Why not start your new life in Japan with us at the Hearth Musashiurawa sharehouse?
We look forward to meeting you. Please feel free to contact us!
