The Truth About Living With 13 Strangers in a Tokyo Share House
What is it really like living with 13 strangers in a Tokyo share house?
I lived at Borderless House in Japan, surrounded by Japanese and international residents. It gave me instant friends, events, and a community, but also dirty dishes, missed duties, romantic tension, and enough roommate drama to create a low budget reality show.
In this video, I share my honest experience of living in a Japanese share house, how the application works, the daily responsibilities, the best and worst parts, and whether I would recommend it if you are moving to Japan alone.
Subscribe for honest stories about solo travel, moving abroad, life in Japan, and everything that goes wrong along the way.

The Easiest Way to Move to Japan Without a Work Visa
Want to move to Japan but cannot get a Working Holiday visa or find a company willing to sponsor you? A Japanese language school and student visa might be the easiest realistic route.
I explain how I moved to Tokyo through language school, applied for my Certificate of Eligibility and Japan student visa, found accommodation and received my residence card. I also share the honest reality of tuition fees, financial proof, attendance, part time work and whether studying Japanese in Japan is actually worth it.
