When people come to Japan these days—whether it’s for studying, a working holiday, or a new job—they’re not just looking for “a place to sleep.” What many are really searching for is a lifestyle that feels meaningful and sustainable.

And sustainability isn’t only about the planet. It’s also about how we live with people from different cultures, how we share, and how we learn from each other. That’s actually a big part of the SDGs—building communities where everyone belongs.

This is exactly what BORDERLESS HOUSE is all about: living together with people from all over the world, making real friendships across cultures, and experiencing a lifestyle that’s both inspiring and sustainable.

What are SDGs and Why They Matter in Daily Life?

You’ve probably seen the colorful SDG icons before, but maybe they felt a bit… far away from daily life? The truth is, the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) aren’t just for governments or big companies—they’re also about the small choices we make every day.

Here are three SDGs that connect directly to the way foreigners experience life in Japan:

No.10 Reduced Inequalities

Living abroad can sometimes feel overwhelming—language barriers, cultural differences, or even stereotypes. But SDG No.10 is all about breaking those walls down and making sure everyone has a fair chance to belong. Choosing to live in a community that welcomes diversity is already a step toward this goal.

No.11 Sustainable Cities & Communities

Cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Sendai are exciting but can also feel lonely if you don’t know anyone. SDG No.11 reminds us that a truly sustainable city isn’t just about eco-friendly buildings—it’s about building communities where people support each other. Imagine a share house where neighbors actually talk, cook together, and share cultures. That’s sustainable living in action.

No.17 Partnerships for the Goals

The SDGs can’t be achieved alone. Partnerships—between countries, communities, and individuals—are the key. When you live with people from different nationalities under one roof, you’re not just sharing rent, you’re building real partnerships across cultures. That’s the heart of SDG No.17.
So yes, even something as simple as choosing where you live can be part of creating a more sustainable and meaningful world.

Sustainable Living in Japan as a Foreigner

Moving to Japan sounds exciting, right? Neon lights, endless ramen shops, and so many things to explore. But for many foreigners, the reality can feel a little different—isolation, language barriers, and cultural gaps can make daily life tough.

Here’s the good news: sustainable living in Japan isn’t just about recycling or biking to work—it’s also about building an inclusive, supportive community where people truly connect.

That’s where living in a multicultural community in Japan changes everything. Instead of feeling like an outsider, you find yourself surrounded by people who want to share meals, swap stories, and help each other out. Suddenly, “Japan life” isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving.

By choosing the right kind of community, you’re not only making life easier for yourself, but also taking part in reducing stereotypes and building bridges across cultures. And that’s what real sustainable living looks like.

What Makes BORDERLESS HOUSE Different?

So how is BORDERLESS HOUSE not just another share house, but a community with purpose? Here’s where daily life meets the SDGs:

50% Japanese + 50% foreigners → SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities

Every house is designed for balance. That means you’re not just living “with foreigners” or “with Japanese,” but in a true mix. Daily conversations become language exchanges, dinners turn into culture-sharing nights. The small moments break down walls and stereotypes, reducing inequalities one chat at a time.

Community activities & volunteering → SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

From cooking events to local volunteering, BORDERLESS HOUSE creates chances to team up, not just with your housemates but with the neighborhood. These partnerships show that “sustainability” is also about human connections, not only about the environment.

Shared living = Eco-friendly lifestyle → SDG 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities

Think about it: when you share electricity, water, furniture, and even cooking tools, you’re already cutting waste and living greener. It’s sustainable living in action, without even trying too hard.
All of this ties back to our vision: eliminating prejudice and discrimination through shared living and international understanding. At BORDERLESS HOUSE, the house itself becomes the place where a better world is built—starting from your daily life.

How You Can Contribute to SDGs by Living in a Share House

You don’t need to join an NGO or launch a huge project to make an impact.
Your daily choices already matter.

By choosing a multicultural share house, you’re:
●Living in eco-friendly housing in Japan → sharing resources, cutting waste, and living lighter on the planet.
●Helping to contribute to SDGs in Japan → every conversation across cultures reduces inequalities and builds global understanding.
●Creating real connections that ripple outward → friendships, projects, and ideas that last far beyond your stay.

It’s not just where you sleep—it’s how you live. And your life can be a step toward the world you want to see.
