I had never heard of share houses in the US, but turns out they’re common in many countries, and Japan is no exception! They’re better than apartments in many ways! They’re cheaper and the contracts are more flexible. But you have to share most facilities with other people.
Here you can get a tour of a typical share house, plus some amenities, PLUS see my super awesome Japanese style room!
Share houses are a good way to try and afford Tokyo life, especially if you’re just arriving! How about you? Would you share your living space for cheaper rent, or shell out more for some privacy? If you could get this Japanese style room, would you? Let me know and ask me any share house questions in the comments down below, and don’t forget to subscribe!
