About Us
I'm Hiro, and I live with three roommates in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.
My roommates are an immigrant, a neurodivergent, and a queer.
They're all part of different minority groups in Japanese society.
They are an "aspiring" voice actor, student, and office worker.
Room sharing and coming out of the closet are uncommon in Japan.
I'm an IT engineer but not a programmer: an infrastructure engineer.
Art Project
A few years ago, my friend painted a black and white mural in my house.
I'm updating it by inviting volunteer artists from around the world.
They added color to the mural and also added a lot of paintings.
We don’t have any art skills and don’t participate or suggest designs.
The Neighborhood
Two stations from Ikebukuro and ~30 minutes from Shinjuku and Shibuya.
Quiet residential area with some restaurants and shops.
The house is old, poorly ventilated, and in a natural setting.
Not suitable for people with asthma or allergies to dust or animals. -

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We have different lifestyles and are very busy most days.
I'm an IT engineer and work from home, busy on weekdays.
If you stay short-term, we may not have much time to meet with you.
While you’re staying with us, we’ll have a get-together at home with drinks.
My roommates are happy to share their knowledge of Japanese pop culture.
They play video games, guitar, skateboard, and cosplay (costume play of Anime characters)
One roommate used to visit women’s bars in Shinjuku Ni-chome (the gay district).
She doesn’t have time to go there now, but she’s happy to share her knowledge.
Offer food or information for food lovers and vegans, including unique meats, seafood, insects, and shojin cuisine, a traditional Japanese Buddhist vegetarian or vegan cuisine. -

Meals may be provided, depending on the amount of work you do.
We prefer people who don’t use air conditioning or heaters frequently.

The living room is also the passageway to the roommates’ rooms.
If the tent isn’t comfortable, we can arrange a private room.
