A Sharehouse Where Shinjuku is Your Backyard!
Experience Diversity Beyond Race, Gender, and Nationality at J&F House Shinjuku.
A sharehouse is a living style that has long been popular among young people in Western countries who want to save money. It is a dwelling where residents share a house or apartment and facilities such as the kitchen, bathroom, and living room while living under the same roof.
J&F House Shinjuku is a sharehouse that welcomes everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, nationality, or ethnicity, making it a diverse and inclusive community.
Located just a 12-minute walk from Shinjuku Station and a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station, the sharehouse boasts a prime location with easy access to everything the vibrant Shinjuku area has to offer. You can even reach the famous Isetan Department Store in just a 3-minute walk, and the popular cinema complex, Wald 9, in just 2 minutes. Shinjuku’s bustling nightlife is literally at your doorstep!
The share house is located in Shinjuku 2-chome, just off “Shinjuku Street” near a flower shop. As you may know, Shinjuku 2-chome is famous for being Tokyo’s “Gay Town”.
Due to the local atmosphere, “J&F House Shinjuku” is a diversity-oriented share house that welcomes everyone, including LGBT individuals, foreigners, and Japanese.
For those who have never been to Shinjuku 2-chome, let me guide you through it briefly!

Merits of living in a share house
The merit of living in a share house is that you can save money. It’s cheaper than renting an apartment alone. There is also the advantage of being able to rent a larger space at a reasonable price by sharing common areas with your housemates.
Furthermore, you won’t feel lonely because you’ll have various companions! Sometimes you can cook and eat together, enjoy chatting, and the loneliness of living alone will fade away.
Demerits of living in a share house
The demerit is that it’s not suitable for people who don’t like living with others. J&F House Shinjuku’s rooms are private, so your privacy is protected, and once you enter your room, you can be alone.
For those who feel anxious about living alone in a big city and those who want to have fun with their housemates, a share house is recommended!
