    Firsthouse Omori is only 8 min walk from Omori station in JR Keihin Tohoku Line where it is 2 next stops from Shinagawa station. You can go to Yokohama station by train for 18 min. Therefore, it’s very easy to go not only to Tokyo direction but to Yokohama area!Supermarkets, convenience stores, and drug store are very close to the sharehouse so this environment must be convenient compared to other areas in Omori.  Common spaces and some rooms have been renovated in 2017, so you may really like this sharehouse!

Since it is close to the station, it is convenient to go for shopping at a supermarket, convenience stores, book stores, drug stores, cafes, and so on.

Jiyugaoka

She can go to Jiyuugaoka by walk and likes this place and the environement. Also, she really enjoys the communication and dinner with other sharedhouses’ tenants everyday. A completely private room provides satisification and private time for her. Residents are mainly 20’s Students and Workers.

【The reason for moving in】
At first, I got an introduction of the sharedhouse from the university. The university and the station are close, so she thinks it is very convenient. I love this place. (Student)

I had lived in Jiyugaoka before I know sharedhouse. This place is good to me and I can go to Jiyugaoka area, and also I feel the house is clean when I viewed the house and the room. I have decided to move in in a minute.
【House life】
Residents seem to enjoy the house, communication, having dinner with each other in the living room. I feel this is the sharedhouse and I really like this. (Student)

If I live in an apartment, I rarely may have an opportunity to interact with other people. But for shared house, I don’t feel lonely after I get back home and everyone is very kind. (Exchange student)
【Message】
If you don’t like being alone after get home, I recommend the sharedhouse so that you could eat foods with residents, exchange foods, and enjoy the life in Japan (Taiwanese)

Sharedhouse provides the opportunities of trans-cultural communication and of knowing people that we might never meet in a daily life. This is very motivational and fun to meet many people. Of course, a room is private and everyone has their own jobs so you don’t need to worry about communication too much.
【Surprising after coming to Japan】
I was surprised that a bus runs not only big roads but also the narrow roads. The bus in Taiwan runs only big roads. Also, I was surprised at many things. For example, Japanese mom picks up two children on the bicycle and runs. And, there is a railroad crossing in Tokyo. In a metropolitan area of Taiwan, train is only subway and there is no railroad crossing.
No worries for a beginner of shared houses! It is convenient for shopping and work
