You can stay with a Japanese family. Breakfast and dinner are provided. 2,600 yen per night. (Only those who are 18 years of age or older can apply.) This service is for short-stay students and we may not be able to satisfy your request due to a limited number of host families.

Lease of apartment (Only pre-college course students)

IAY and a real-estate company will support students who seek an apartment. When you visit a real-estate company, staff from IAY will accompany you as an interpreter, so you don’t have to worry about a language problem and procedures for a rental contract. Since a guarantor is needed when signing a rental contract in Japan, IAY can serve as the guarantor.
The rent is 30,000 – 40,000 yen per month. Some students are living together. Most students are living within a 15-minute commuting distance by bicycle. We will try our best to find you a safe and comfortable room. In addition, after you come to Japan, our staff can go shopping with you so that you can buy daily commodities at a low price. When you don’t know how to pay utilities cost, please ask IAY staff at any time.
