Descrição
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. -

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
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. -

Please answer the questions in the profile when asking about availability.
Duties & Responsibilities
Cleaning inside and outside of the house and mowing around the house.
Paint a mural in a common area (such as the living room, corridor, etc.).
No theme for painting, but original or copyright-free characters only.
We're very busy, so we need helpers for cleaning more than painting.
We accept people who can't help the mural but can help with cleaning.
