Welcome to the first international exchange sharehouse in Shiga Prefecture, located in the heart of Hikone city. As the owner, I'm thrilled to introduce you to a place where global cultures blend seamlessly with the local charm of Hikone.

We are more than just a sharehouse; we are a community committed to connecting Hikone and the world. Established in January 2020, our mission is to foster international exchanges that enrich both our residents and the local area. With over ten events and workshops conducted within a year and weekly parties, our vibrant community is the perfect place for those looking to immerse themselves in a multicultural environment.

Situated conveniently in Hikone city, the house offers easy access to educational institutions like Shiga University and Shiga Prefectural University, making it an ideal residence for students. With a mix of Japanese and international residents, our sharehouse is a melting pot of cultures, offering unique opportunities for cultural exchange and language practice right at your doorstep.

Our facilities include all the essentials you need to feel at home: free Wi-Fi, a communal kitchen, and a bicycle parking space. We offer four rooms, including tatami rooms, that allow for a traditional Japanese living experience at an affordable price, and with the flexibility of short-term stays from one month on, the property is both accessible and accommodating.

Located just a nine-minute bike ride from Hikone Station, our sharehouse is not only convenient for local commuting but also perfectly positioned to explore the wider Kansai area. Imagine winding down after a day's study or work with a serene bike ride along the shores of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake, or soaking up the history and culture of Hikone, home to one of Japan's most beautiful original castles.

Embark on your Shiga adventure with us and discover the beauty of living in a place where every day is an opportunity for new friendships, learning, and growth. Join us, and let's make unforgettable memories together in Hikone.
