Ms. Kaku (Korea, 20s)
The housemates are very kind and fun to live with!
Mr.Shiba（20’s Japan）
Thank you for about six months. I had not originally planned to live in a share house, but I decided to give it a try because I thought I could meet a lot of different people! As a result, I was able to have meals such as takoyaki parties with people from many different countries, and it was a very memorable experience!
