What is a Share House?
A sharehouse is a rental space where people who are living independently, gather to live together. Except for private rooms, all other spaces are shared with fellow tenants. The shared spaces include the living room and dining space, where tenants can interact with each other, the kitchen, where they can prepare a variety of cuisines and meals, and the bathroom. Share houses are mainly occupied by similarly aged (young and middle-aged) independently living locals or foreigners who have moved to Japan. Share houses appeal to this group of people due to the diversity, comfort of living, and fun that they offer to its tenants. Share houses have become multicultural environments, providing shared spaces for locals and foreigners to interact with one another.

ボーダレスハウスで滞在した半年間は、濃く充実していました。ハウスメイトの誕生日を祝ったり、一緒にご飯やカフェに行ったり、リビングで夜遅くまで何気ない会話を楽しんだり、どれも素敵な思い出です。最初は英語がうまく通じなかったものの、皆優しく受け入れてくれてとても暖かい場所だと感じました。大山ハウスの外国人メンバーは出身国にばらつきがあり、交流を通じて一気に色んな国の文化や言語、価値観に触れることが出来て面白かったです。また私は学生なのですが、普段関わる機会がない日本人の社会人の方々とも知り合うことができて、色々話せたことは貴重な経験になったと思います。ハウスメイトは第2の家族のような大切な存在です。今後ハウスを利用する方々には、恐れず新しい場所に飛び込み、積極的にコミュニケーションを取る楽しさを感じてほしいと思います。
