I have made quite a lot of since living here and
some of them have moved out by now but we're still keeping in touch as well.
So I decided to stay in a share house because since I'm studying Japanese I wanted to live in
Borderless House because they tried to have 50:50 so 50% Japanese native speakers and 50% foreigners so
I kind of wanted to you know listen to the language daily and maybe try to interact with people as well.
I was interested in having conversations with Japanese people as much as possible so
I decided to come here especially for that opportunity.
Borderless house is a share house, and half of the people are foreigners
and another half is Japanese people living together.
The Nakano 3 House has all kinds of home appliances such as
cookware, cutlery, tableware and microwave, so you can enjoy cooking right away.
Also, as for the dining room, there is a TV, a DVD player, a projector and a screen
so you can enjoy watching movies and games.
There's a lot of people living in this house now
but we do get to have like a lot of events together and everything so
everyone's of course pretty busy but we do get to do like movie nights and stuff and
sometimes go out together as well.
The reason I chose this share house was there are many people of different nationalities and
I thought it was interesting to know about various countries.
The members of this share house are all very kind and I'm really comfortable living here.
I've made a lot of friends in this share house and they're all kind, like my family.
All rooms have beds, tables and chairs
there is a closet where you can hang clothes, so you can move in with only one suitcase.
All properties have wi-fi, and this property also has wi-fi
so there are internet connections that you can use without any problems
such as working from home or Zoom meeting.
This share house is located in Nakano area so it's a pretty quiet neighbourhood
it's not as busy as if you were to go to Shinjuku or Shibuya
so that's also partly why I chose the share house too.
There are two conbinis really close to home and also it's pretty much close to the Nakano station
is almost 10 minutes in my walk
and it was really useful for me also for the school that I was attending.
If you were to go to Shinjuku from the share house
it's only about i think two or three stops away on the station so it's really close.
I was aiming to increase my Japanese proficiency and
having the possibility to speak in Japanese in the house was a real plus for me.
I had the opportunity to speak in Japanese a lot in the house.
One of my favourite thing about living in this share house is
just getting to interact with everyone and make friends
even have dinner together have cooking parties and go out and hang out together.
Usually we do have welcome parties as well, when someone new is coming to the house.
The message to people who may be living here in the future is that
there's nothing to worry about as people are really nice here.
At first, I was a bit worried about living in a share house with other people, but you don't have to worry about it at all.
I want to encourage people to try new environments.
I would definitely recommend this share house. It's in a great neighbourhood
and you do get a chance to meet a lot of people since
there can be about 10 or 11 people living in this house at the same time so it's really great.
