In the common space, we provide an air conditioner, TV, washing machines, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, rice cooker, and other basic home appliances, such as frying pans, pots, cutlery, other cooking utensils, and hair dryers .
Some houses have clothes dryers. Please check the each house page on the website for more information.
Private rooms are equipped with an air conditioner, bed, and private refrigerator (some houses have a shared refrigerator).
Basic home appliances are provided, so it is possible for you to start your new life only with a suitcase.
If you need to purchase bedding, we have a service to prepare bedding from your 1st day of moving in, so please contact us.
How do you clean the House? Are there any rules?
Basically, we ask our residents to clean up and follow good manners with each other, but we do have a regular cleaning service once or twice a week to support daily cleaning.
Is smoking allowed?
No. Smoking is prohibited in the entire building. However, you can smoke in the houses that have smoking areas according to the rules. Smoking inside the house is strictly prohibited.

Is there a futon purchase service?
Futons can be purchased only for foreign residents coming from overseas. There is a charge of 13,000 yen for this service.
Please contact us before moving in if you wish to use this service.
Can I have a pet such as a dog or cat?
Unfortunately, we do not allow pets in our properties. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Can I move in even though I cannot speak the local language?
Since Kizunaya Sharehouse is a sharehouse where we honor socializing among residents , we receive many comments from residents that they are able to learn languages by communicating with their share mates.
Many residents are just beginning to learn Japanese or are staying Japan for the first time.
Especially, in houses with the concept of international exchange, there are many people interested in foreign languages and cultures, so many of them would like to speak English in their daily life.
Please rest assured that many of our residents have actually improved their language skills after moving in!
I'd like to know the age range and gender ratio of the people living here.
On average, 60% women and 40% men. The age of the residents varies from 20 to 35 years old, but on average, most of the residents are working adults around 25 years old. Each house is different, so please contact us for more details.
Is it possible to move in for just one month?
Unfortunately, we are a community-oriented sharehouse, so we give priority to long-term residents. If you wish to stay for less than 3 months, we may not be able to accommodate you. We apologize for the inconvenience.
What kind of events do you have at the sharehouse?
Many unique events are held every month at the Kizunaya Sharehouse.
There are plenty of activities and events to get to know each other, such as online schools, dinner parties in each house, etc.
Several times a year, there are also events to enjoy cultural experiences such as athletic meets and climbing Mt Fuji.
Naturally, participation is completely optional.
I might get tired if I have to socialize a lot.
Because Kizunaya is a community oriented sharehouse, there are some people who have the impression that we hold events every day, but basically, we value the residents gathering when they want to. There is no requirement to participate, and the atmosphere is basically free. Of course, there are many residents who love people, so there are many residents who want to actively enjoy socializing in the living room, and most people feel that a living room where you can feel the warmth is better than an empty living room. If you don't value socializing at all, this may not be the right place for you.
Is there an age limit? Can underage persons move-in too?
In order to create a living environment where residents of the same age group can socialize closely with each other, Kizunaya Sharehouse has set the following age restrictions.
Applicable age: 18-34 years old
Can I move in together with my friend or partner?
Yes, you can.
If you want to share a room with your friend, we will contract an additional common service fee per person.
Dormitories or private rooms are available in each case.
Please contact us for details.
How much does it cost to move in?
Initial fee of 44,000 yen, and the first month's rent and common service fee must be transferred within 3 business days after the reservation is confirmed.
If you need to arrange for the purchase of a bedding set, bedding fee of 13,000 yen will be added.
(Bedding set includes sheets, mattress pad, futon, futon cover, pillow, pillowcase, and blanket.)
*Rent and utilities for the first month will be prorated from the move-in date.
What is included in the common service fee?

When is the earliest I can move in after viewing the room?
After viewing the room, you will be screened. The earliest you can move in is 14 days after passing the screening.
Is it possible to move in for a short period of time?
Basically, you need to move in for at least 3 months. Also, since we are a community-oriented share house, we may give priority to those who are considering moving in for a longer period of time.
Is it possible to move in without having a preview?
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we always ask everyone to come and take a look at the share house before moving in so that you can get a feel for it.
