Mahoro Coliving

The co-living space I offer is exclusively for women and comprises three rooms. When I was traveling around the world in the year 2017, I was astonished upon witnessing the difference in the amount of expressing one’s opinions of non-Japanese Asian students in comparison to their Japanese counterparts. While the most direct route for Japanese youth to explore the world and broaden their knowledge remains to be studying abroad, it is not necessarily an option available to everyone. As our world progresses further into borderlessness, it will become imperative for Japanese students to understand and appreciate foreign cultures and ideologies. Imagine the prospect of cohabitating with young individuals from various corners of the globe within Japan - an opportunity for mutual understanding. We hope that the co-living space in "mahoro" will become such a haven, and facilitate these transformative experiences.
