Share-houses, an economical way to find accommodation in Japan

Vivre en communauté au Japon, ça vous dit ?

Lorsque l'on part en voyage au Japon plus d'un mois, l’hôtel n'est pas forcément la solution la plus économique quand arrive la question du logement.C'est pourquoi de nombreux voyageurs optent pour les share-houses, les "maisons à partager". Pratiques, ludiques et surtout très avantageux niveau prix, ces nouveaux modes de logement moyen-terme ont le vent en poupe sur l'archipel ! Et bien qu'ils ne soient pas forcément adaptés à tous les profils, ces hébergements séduisent de plus en plus de jeunes voyageurs… étrangers comme Japonais !

Indeed, not all share-houses are alike! The number of rooms is very variable (from 3 to 30 on average), the surface area of the common areas also, some accommodation is only reserved for women while others are only for a certain category of people (vegetarian, single mother, etc.).

The type of accommodation also varies from one accommodation to another, since some share-houses offer both individual rooms and dormitories for the most modest budgets. In the most spacious accommodations, a gym and a garden can even be set up!

And this is another advantage of share-houses: their cosmopolitanism!

Whether it is to save money or to practice a foreign language, many Japanese choose to live in a share-house during their years of study. A good way than for their foreign roommates to practice Japanese and discover Japan through the eyes of a native in the course of a hallway conversation.
