Firsthouse Omori is only 8 min walk from Omori station in JR Keihin Tohoku Line where it is 2 next stops from Shinagawa station. You can go to Yokohama station by train for 18 min. Therefore, it’s very easy to go not only to Tokyo direction but to Yokohama area!Supermarkets, convenience stores, and drug store are very close to the sharehouse so this environment must be convenient compared to other areas in Omori. Common spaces and some rooms have been renovated in 2017, so you may really like this sharehouse!

The size of all rooms are about 10㎡ with good sunshine!! Shower rooms and bathrooms are separated in men and women. And the entrance is electric auto-locked so the security is good!! Since it is close to the station, it is convenient to go for shopping at a supermarket, convenience stores, book stores, drug stores, cafes, and so on.

English OK
ExperienceDuring my student years, I took part in an exchange program with Germany and experienced homestay living. I later went to Australia and Canada on working holiday visas and lived in share houses.MessageDuring my student years, I traveled to Germany as part of a Japan–Germany sports exchange program, even though I could not speak English at the time. It was my first experience living overseas and staying with a host family. Daily life, culture, and food were all different from what I was used to, making each day both challenging and exciting.
My host mother and her daughter, who was the same age as me, made a great effort to help me feel welcome. They took me to local festivals and cooked meals together with me, creating a warm and supportive environment. Thanks to them, my first time living abroad became an unforgettable experience.
After returning to Japan and starting my career, I found myself unable to forget that experience. I eventually decided to leave my job and move to Australia, where I lived in a share house for the first time. Living with others taught me both the joy of shared moments and the difficulty of handling differences in values and expectations. Through this, I learned what kind of living environment suits me and how small adjustments and communication can make shared living more comfortable for everyone.
These experiences shaped my desire to create welcoming living environments from a resident’s perspective, and I hope to apply this mindset in my work.
