<p>In recent years Tama Plaza has been in the spotlight as being a hot date location. The large scale shopping mall was constructed as part of the train station redevelopment, and is home to many stylish cafes and restaurants. Walk away from the station and you will find the quiet, tree-lined streets of the residential area. This particular area was modeled after the garden suburbs in London, its large residences and open spaces working in harmony to create a townscape that wouldn’t be out of place in a Hollywood movie.</p>
<p>The location has great public transport access and Shibuya can be reached in 20 minutes without changing trains on the Denentoshi line. The building itself was formerly a newspaper company on the 1F with a company dormitory above. It has now been renovated into 65-room large scale sharehouse, and the look of the intentionally rough interior is very different from its exterior. At first glance it seems like the kind of house that would appeal to men, but upon closer inspection one finds its European touches and floral arrangements to create a unique elegance.</p>
<p>What’s more, the house is filled with all kinds of ‘toys’ and facilities for the mature adult to play with. Residents of this house discover a belonging here and thrive in the excitement it offers.</p>
<p>If you want to know what I&#8217;m talking about, read on!</p>

<p>The brains behind this project, Share Design, specialise in large scale sharehouses and interior design. Each one of their houses is unique in concept and design. Share Residence Tama Plaza is dedicated to fun, a concept which is incorporated throughout the house and it&#8217;s design. The idea is for communication to grow through residents having fun and enjoying themselves in the house.</p>
<p>The staff at this company all have skills in different areas. With a former pilot, musician and jazz dancer on board, you may be lucky enough to sit in on a lecture on these topics and more using the facilities in the house.</p>
<p>Teach others what you know, and learn from them what you don&#8217;t. With this kind of reciprocal environment in the house, everyday is bound to be full of exciting times. Would you fit in here?</p>

<p>The brains behind this project, Share Design, specialise in large scale sharehouses and interior design. Each one of their houses is unique in concept and design. Share Residence Tama Plaza is dedicated to fun, a concept which is incorporated throughout the house and it&#8217;s design. The idea is for communication to grow through residents having fun and enjoying themselves in the house.</p>
<p>The staff at this company all have skills in different areas. With a former pilot, musician and jazz dancer on board, you may be lucky enough to sit in on a lecture on these topics and more using the facilities in the house.</p>
<p>Teach others what you know, and learn from them what you don&#8217;t. With this kind of reciprocal environment in the house, everyday is bound to be full of exciting times. Would you fit in here?</p>

<p>This female-exclusive sharehouse is in Midoribashi. <br />Midoribashi isn’t one of those famous places in Osaka everyone has heard of, however it could be called one of Osaka’s well-kept-secrets and there does exist quite a few sharehouses in the area to attest to this. Let’s first talk a bit about Midoribashi. <br />The area around Midoribashi station has all the things one needs, including a supermarket and hospital, and a 10-minute bicycle ride takes you to places like the symbol of Osaka, Osaka Castle Park, shopping center Morinomiya Q’s Mall BASE. The Umeda and Namba areas are 5 to 6 km away, or a good 30 minute bike ride. Two train lines service the local station, the Chuo Line and the Imazatosuji Line, making Midoribashi a great place from which to get to anywhere in the city relatively stress free. /p&gt;</p>
<p>Golden House Midoribashi is genuinely a house made with the comfort of female residents in mind. <br />True to expectations of a female-only sharehouse, I found this one to be very beautiful and clean when I went over to check it out. While the same can be said for all newly constructed properties, what’s special about this house is that its practical design and functionality you can imagine what your life will be like living here immediately. The house is close to the city, yet the area around the house is quiet and serene. Sharehouses focused on things like communication and self-actualization are on the rise lately, however one can’t forget the importance of design and functionality in one’s life. When you think about it, sharehouses are actually a rare kind of property. Golden House Midoribashi has taken what everyone looks for in a one room apartment and created the perfect living environment. If this has gotten you interested, don’t hesitate to take yourself over there and check out the house. While you’re there you should walk around Midoribashi. You’ll be able to imagine yourself living there right away.</p>

<p>Running this house is real estate firm Plenty Plans. The company currently manages <span style="color: #0000ff"><a href="https://blog.sharehouse.in/?p=41821" target="_blank" class="broken_link"><span style="color: #0000ff">four properties</span></a></span> in the Golden House series, including Golden House Midoribashi. Their houses are popular with their great designs and convenient locations. One of their houses, <br /><span style="color: #0000ff"><a href="https://sharehouse.in/jpn/house/detail/2082/" target="_blank" class="broken_link"><span style="color: #0000ff">Golden House Sanadayama Park</span></a></span>, is located near a park that takes its name from Sanada Maru, a famous fortification attached to Osaka castle that is the subject of a current Japanese historical drama. Golden House Midoribashi is also a newly-constructed house that provides a safe, comfortable environment for women. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of the house, who is an Osaka man through and through and very easy to talk to. He loves Osaka greatly and that’s why he is in the know about the best places to live in the city. What a wonderful thing it is to be able to do what do love in the place you love.</p>
<p>This sharehouse in particular may be new, but a house made with such love like this one will surely come to be just as loved by its residents.</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">We live in a bustling, ever-changing era. The spread of the internet has greatly changed the way we live our lives and run our businesses, and our concept of time has altered. </span></p>
<p>Nevertheless, it is because we are within this whirlpool of intense change that we are attracted to the constant. We see this inside ourselves, swayed not by the times and current fashions,being made to think about universality and reaffirm who we are.</p>
<p>In this article we will look at D Share Jiyugaoka, a renovated sharehouse in an approximately 50-year old vintage building that has stands in Okusawa, Setagaya-ku.</p>
<p>Although it’s edgy decor gives the impression of a cool, male-oriented space, this is actually a female-exclusive sharehouse with an interior to be appreciated by any design enthusiast.</p>
<p>Let’s move on and have a look inside the house!</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This sharehouse is run by Arial. The company originally dealt with rental housing before broadening their business to tenant and sharehouse management.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Arial’s sharehouse model is based not only on everyday comfort, but also the pursuit of international character and design. D share Jiyugaoka is the materialization of these ideals.</p>
<p>While the building itself is quite old, once you move in you will surely find it to be comfortable and consider it to be a place one can live in for many years to come.</p>
<p>This is a quality, comfortable house in which one can contemplate about life itself in a moderately stimulating environment. If you’re thinking about moving, why not give this property a chance?</p>

<p>What does the color white make you think of? Undoubtedly many of you would say clean, pure and simple. We are surrounded by many different colors in our daily lives, and while we enjoy this, there is something about coming home to the simple shade of white that allows us to regain presence of mind.</p>
<p>The sharehouse we are showcasing today is exactly that &#8211; a clean and simple house encased in white, allthewhile having a luxuriousness to it, resulting in the perfect place to come home to. This is a female-exclusive house and the living rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors have been decorated in a different style to each other.</p>
<p>Let’s have a look inside!</p>

<p>’Sharehouse’ is a word that has come to be heard frequently in recent years, being in the spotlight on television and in other forms of media. Although his word has become increasingly familiar with the general public, at the same time there are a many different ideas of what a sharehouse is floating around out there.</p>
<p>Many people worry about privacy and think living in a sharehouse would be tiresome, however the staff running these houses are always brainstorming and implementing ideas for their residents to be able to maintain privacy as well as enjoy their time within the house.</p>
<p>Finest Kamada in particular boasts large living areas, bathrooms as well as private rooms with enough space that residents won’t have trouble maintaining their privacy at all. Not to mention that the brains behind this project is the company Fine Select, professionals in the industry with many female-exclusive sharehouses to their name. I personally got the impression that this house has been created with residents’ privacy in mind.</p>
<p>It’s up to you what kind of life you will lead in this pure white house with it’s brilliant yet at first unexpected shade. Imagine a life of new encounters with this as your backdrop!</p>

<p>Choosing a place to live is a series of ongoing compromises. It is often said that the closer to the city, the more compromises and concessions one must make.</p>
<p>That said, when thinking about moving house it is natural to want a place more comfortable and closer to work than where you live in currently.</p>
<p>Today we will introduce to you Cocoro Mejiro, a female-exclusive sharehouse in Shinjuku. The house is on the 10th floor, the top floor of the building, however by using the elevator there will be inconveniences. There are no other tall buildings around and you can gaze out over the city from the house balcony.</p>
<p>Housing a maximum of 6 tenants, this house has ample space for all and examples of its functionality can be found throughout. It would be much more enjoyable imagining a life here than dealing with the reality of making compromises with another property.</p>
<p>Without further ado let’s have a look inside this comfortable city residence!!</p>

<p>The front entrance. With a skylight in the ceiling I get the impression that it would be bright and cheerful in here during the day without turning the lights on. The shoe storage shelves are of high capacity. There is also space to store boots.</p>

<p>Managing this house is Arco Design Works. The manager worked for a company designing hotels and houses before breaking away to go independent and now develops houses with design and convenience in mind. The ‘Cocoro’ series of sharehouses are unified by a consistent theme, characterized by solid birch wood flooring, IDEE furniture and the use of mosaic tiling within the house.</p>
<p>Talking with the manager I could just tell that every last detail had been taken into consideration. In regards to storage, for example, he says that if tenants are not allowed to keep personal items in the common areas then a suitable storage area must be provided elsewhere. And sure enough, what surprised me the most when visiting the house myself was of course the design of the common areas, but also its functionality and storage facilities.</p>
<p>Storage facilities are not just random empty spaces around the house, but arranged specifically in places upon consideration of the tenant’s daily lives and in easy-to-use positions. Because of this, residents will become accustomed to using something then putting it back in its place immediately.</p>
<p>This is perhaps due to the knowledge gained from years of experience managing other sharehouses, however I do believe that all of the trial and error in making houses in the past has lead to this house being as charming as it is.</p>
<p>While rules and established routines are also important, a great community is sure to blossom in a residence built in a way that helps residents to keep things neat and tidy without a second thought.</p>

<h3>The present and future of Share Place Higashi Kanagawa 99, 3 months since its grand opening.</h3>
</div>
<div class="explain">
<p>“A small town of 99 people.” Since first hearing this catchphrase from ReBITA&#8217;s project coordinator I’d made my way over to the property many times before it opened. The property and location are very enticing, and I wondered what would happen when 99 people started to live here, each time indulging my imagination the entire way back to the station from the house.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It’s been three months since the grand opening, and people of all different walks of life have begun to gather at Share Place Higashi Kanagawa (hereafter SPH99), and the tenants who had never met each other prior to moving in have started their new shared lifestyles together.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I headed on over to the property once more after receiving the opportunity to interview the people actually living in the house. During the interview we spoke about the current conditions of SPH99 and the kind of lifestyles these tenants wish to create for themselves in the future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A building’s design and its facilities are important when interested in or considering living in a share house, however there are also those worrying about what shared living is actually like and what kind of people are living in them. If this sounds like you, then read on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Without further ado, onto the interview!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I actually quit my job 3-4 years ago and went to Australia for a working holiday, sharing a room with friends while I was there. So, I have no real aversion to sharing and decided I wanted to live in a share house when I got back to Japan. </p>

<p>My story is completely different. I’d never lived on my own before and up until now was living with family. But, thinking that it was about time I left home, I searched around for a place in Yokohama but couldn’t really find a property I wanted to live in.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Rie </span></strong></p>

<div title="Page 3">
<p>Well, I want a big room, like a one room apartment with 16.5㎡ of space, a verandah and good exposure to the sun. But at the same time I didn’t want to spend too much money (laughs) I was also thinking about initial costs, and I couldn’t find a place that fit with what I wanted… and it was then I found out about share houses.</p>

<p>For me it was the Tohoku earthquake three years ago. I was living by myself at the time and was scared being alone afterwards. I only knew my neighbors by face so I couldn’t really depend on them. I began to think that it would be better to live somewhere with people you can count on when things go wrong, and came across ReBITA’s share house.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;I often hear about people who moved into share houses after the Tohoku earthquake.</strong></dd>

<h3>Life changes when moving into a share house</h3>

<dd><strong>&#8212;You’ve all lived here for about 2 months now, have your lives changed at all?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Watchi</span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>It’s changed so much! I’m pursuing so many hobbies (laughs) I’ve even started running and mountain climbing, and we all climbed Mt. Fuji together. I also do bowling and got interested in coffee, even learning how to brew it myself from the grinding of the beans. All I need now is more time and money.</p>
</dd>
<dt></dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;You’re really enjoying the share lifestyle to the fullest, aren’t you! Do you share your hobbies with the other tenants?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi</strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Yeah, everyone has their own hobbies and at first I have a go just out of curiosity, find that it is actually fun and get really into it… my days off are so packed with plans I’m always jumping from one to the next. I really don’t have the time to sleep (laughs)</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Mr. Koto </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Watchi is pretty much always in the living room. When do you sleep?</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<div title="Page 5">
<p>I’m always up until 4 or 5 in the morning chatting away. It’s so much fun I can’t sleep. I need more sleep.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt></dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;So your life has changed entirely. What about you, Ms. Rie, any changes from before you moved in compared with now?</strong><strong><br /></strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms Rie </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>To be honest, I was never excited about going home when I lived with my family, but ever since moving in here I really look forward to it. I’m not always in the living room but when I feel a bit lonely I pop in and there is always someone there to talk to. Also, it’s really great that there is someone to rely on if I get sick or hurt myself. I’ve actually broken my leg at the moment and can’t move around a lot…</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Mr. Koto </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I read a lot more books since I’ve moved into the house. I was never one to actually go out and buy a book to read, but now I’m always borrowing them from the others.</p>
</dd>
<dt> </dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;That’s a different kind of change you experienced than the other two.<strong><br /></strong></strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Mr. Koto</strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<div title="Page 5">
<p>Well of course I have fun with the others, too. I spend a lot of time in the living room when I get home from work before retiring to my room at about 1am and set aside an hour to read before bed. It’s interesting to borrow books you would never choose to read yourself from others. Oh, and I’ve also started getting into making sweets and things.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt></dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;When you say sweets, what kind of things are you making exactly?</strong></dd>

<p>Things like chocolate gateau and coffee-flavored jelly. I’m thinking about making pudding today.</p>
</dd>
<dt></dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Wow, have you always been good at making sweets?</strong><strong><br /></strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Mr. Koto </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I’ve always liked making sweets, but I could never finish eating them all when I was living alone. Living in a share house your housemates can help you eat them and it’s a good feeling when someone says something you have made tastes good. The kitchen here is also very spacious and easy to work in.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Watchi</span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>His sweets are really good! But many people do cook in this house. Girls just easily whip something up in no time but when guys start to cook, they really get stuck into it.</p>
<p>(General practitioner Mr. Sekiguchi enters the conversation)</p>
<p>Just the other day, Gucchan (Mr. Sekiguchi) was making a curry from scratch at 11pm at night and went out to buy more spice when he didn’t have enough for the recipe.</p>

<p>Hearing everyone, regardless of age or sex, talk excitedly about their lives here really left an impression on me.</p>
<h3>～My favorite place～</h3>
<div class="interviewArea">
<dl>
<dt> </dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Other than the main living area I understand that there is also a theatre room, Japanese-style room, work room and rooftop terrace here in SPH99. Do any of you have a favorite place?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Mr. Koto</span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Mine is the seat I’m sitting in right now. It’s where I can best relax. The sun shines in on a clear day and it’s is really comfortable. Actually before the interview started I was having a nap here (laughs)</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I love this sofa too.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Rie </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I love it here too.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;It seems everyone loves it here. I guess it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s a great place to sit back and relax?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Rie </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I think so. Also, the rooms that branch off from the center hallway in Building 2, like the Japanese-style room, are somewhat closed off and very relaxing.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Mr. Koto </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Yeah, a Japanese-style room really soothes the mind. A great place for a bit of reading, work or even study.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;I see. Is the theatre room beside the living room used a lot?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I do watch a lot of movies but it’s great for watching sporting events. We all watched the Sochi Olympics opening ceremony and the World Cup is in June so we’ll get together to cheer the team on. </p>
</dd>
<dd></dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Mr. Sekiguchi, with your job as a doctor you’re on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Are you ever at home?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Mr. Sekiguchi </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Yes, I do spend time at home. I often pop my head in the living room to say hello. My room is a garage type, which I love, and more than anything I’m thankful I can park the car I use for rounds here.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;How much does it cost to park?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Mr. Sekiguchi </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>It’s free. That’s the great thing about the garage-type rooms. It really helps out those with cars.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>The sofa that Mr. Koto, Ms. Rie and Ms. Watchi love so much. It doesn’t just look good, it’s really comfortable to sit in.</p>
<h3>Tips for getting along with housemates</h3>
<div class="interviewArea">
<dl>
<dt> </dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;As the name implies, this is a large-scale share property to house 99 people. Do you have any advice on how to get to know others for those first-timers or those thinking about moving in?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Watchi </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I don’t think there is any need to worry about it because everyone is welcoming towards new housemates. It might be nerveracking to move in at first, but everyone has experienced the same thing. So all you have to do is take that first step and you’ll soon be great friends with everyone.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Could you give us an example?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi</strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Hm… well, if you bring a small gift for everyone when you move in everyone will come to you without you having to make the first move! (laughs)</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;I see. Lure them in with food, right? (laughs) But I think it’s a great idea and something you can do straight away. What about you, Mr. Koto?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Mr. Koto </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Definitely greetings. Not just to be polite, but because communication often stems from those first initial greetings, and I don’t think anyone is going to be upset by a hello. I myself love hearing ‘welcome home’ when I get back from work, so I think greetings are really important.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><a href="http://blog.tokyosharehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/interview_higashi_kanagawa_99_008.jpg"><img alt="interview_higashi_kanagawa_99_008" src="http://blog.tokyosharehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/interview_higashi_kanagawa_99_008.jpg" width="475" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Sitting on the sofa and chatting naturally brings other people to the room. When people pass by they wave and exchange greetings.</p>
<h3>The tenants talk about the appeal of SPH99</h3>
<div class="interviewArea">
<dl>
<dt> </dt>
<dd><strong>&#8212;I’ve asked you a lot of questions already, but tell me again what SPH99’s appeal is. </strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Rie </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>When I came for a private viewing, the rooftop terrace is what made up my mind. You can not only view the city of Yokohama but on a clear day you can see Mt. Fuji. You’ve gotta see the view from up there at least once.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi</strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I really liked the look furniture in the living room and actually looking at it close up it may be a bit cheap, but the house is the real deal. As expected of ReBIYA. (laughs) The house is located right in the middle of Yokohama so I recommend it for those who really want to experience this city. Even out running you can experience of the sights and sounds of Yokohama and even the central business district, Minato Mirai. You feel proud that you live here. (laughs)</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Rie </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>There is also a library on the way to the house from the station, so you don’t have to buy a book yourself. It’s also easy to return them, which is very convenient.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;It’s interesting that everyone finds appeal in different places. Living here is like that nursery rhyme ‘I wonder if I can make 100 friends’, isn’t it, because you can gain heaps of friends in no time at all.</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Mr. Koto </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Well yeah, there’s no doubt about that (laughs)</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Do you feel any kind of aversion to living with 99 other people?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi</strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Not at all. It’s not even that many people. It is a little hard to remember names and faces, though. I’m really looking forward to meeting to many new faces.</p>
</dd>
<dd></dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Remembering names would be a bit difficult. The house hasn’t been open for very long, but have you had any mingling events at all?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Watchi </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>We had an opening party when we first moved in and we periodically plan events. We do ‘nabe’ (Japanese hotpot) a lot. Also today, a couple of guys rented a car and are off to see the cherry blossoms before going to a hot spring.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Sounds like fun! How do you go about letting everyone know about these events?</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Mr. Koto</strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p> We use facebook or a mailing list, as well as use the message board at the entrance of the living room.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Message board? Are you talking about the whiteboard printed with a map on it hanging on the wall?strong&gt;</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Yes. There was already so much written on it when I moved in and I didn’t even know where the nearest supermarket or convenience store was, so it really helped me out.</p>
</dd>
<dd></dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;I see. It’s great to share your favorite spots with others.</strong></dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Watchi </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>Just the other day some people from a nearby ReBITA share house came over to hang out and told us about some great restaurants and bars where you can go to forget about your one-sided loves (laughs)</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><a href="http://blog.tokyosharehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/interview_higashi_kanagawa_99_013.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-28080" alt="interview_higashi_kanagawa_99_013" src="http://blog.tokyosharehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/interview_higashi_kanagawa_99_013.jpg" width="475" height="280" /></a></p>

<p>Let’s see… well it’s way too comfortable in here and I spend a lot of time inside, so when the weather gets warmer I’d like to go out to eat or go on drives with everyone.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900"><strong>Ms. Watchi </strong></span></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>I haven’t travelled with everyone yet, so I’d like to go on a trip. I’ve done day trips but I’d like to see more of the country by traveling and staying overnight.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">Ms. Rie </span></strong></p>
<dl>
<dd>
<p>It might be fun to turn the rooftop terrace into a beer garden! Ways to entertain ourselves broaden as more and more people start to live here so I’m really looking forward to it.</p>
</dd>
<dd><strong>&#8212;Just by looking at your excited expressions I can tell that living here is really fun and fulfilling. Thank you for talking to me for such a long time today.</strong></dd>

<p>and it left a deep impression on me. They are enthusiastic in making the house into something great together, as if it were a story or play.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But it’s not as if they are short of breath, driven by a sense of duty to make it work &#8211; they do so in a relaxed, comfortable environment without a care in the world.</p>
<p> </p>

<div>The transformation of SPH99, as well as its tenants, is carried out little by little as the seasons pass. If you are interested in the house now as well as what it could become, feel free to call up at any time.</div>

<div>The appeal of a town is made up of various factors, including the area’s history, industry as well as its community, and not just its population. In the same way, SPH99 is full of opportunities to transform into such a ‘town’. SPH99 will guide you to new heights, for it is a place in which people from all walks of life gather and will become the main force behind the desire to make the most of every day.</div>

<p>How many colors in a rainbow? We Japanese would probably say 7. From a global perspective, however, there aren’t that many cultures that recognise a rainbow as having 7 colors. The majority of the world see it as 5 or 6 colors, or even less.</p>
<p>The Japanese are said to have long had a rich sense of color. According to the Dictionary of Japanese Colors there are 465 words to express color in Japanese. This of course includes colors we have never heard of before but surely have come across in our daily lives. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing to tap into in our sense of color amidst a lifestyle surrounded by those colors we are not usually conscious of.</p>
<p>There is no point to an uncomfortable life. Today we will introduce to you Share Residence Motosumiyoshi, a simple house accented by colorful furniture and wallpaper. The base, however, is a simple white. The furniture, set against this blank canvas, creates a stylish and playful atmosphere.</p>
<p>Nearby the house you’ll find a bustling shopping street with everything you need including fast food restaurants, a supermarket and even a convenience store. Heading into the city is no problem with Yokohama 15 minutes and Shibuya 20 minutes away. The house stands in a quiet residential area with a terrace from which you can look up and take in the bright blue sky.</p>
<p>You’re sure to find a plethora of colors within this house. Let’s have a peek inside, shall we?</p>

<p>One big appeal of Share Residence Motosumiyoshi is the large window in each room, and room with great lighting can refresh one’s body and soul. There’s only about 12.24m² of space but its cheerfulness was very impressive.</p>

<p>The houses we live in change according to our tastes. Living in a sharehouse, you will also be influenced by those around you. And of course, there will be times where we’ll discover things we’ve never seen before because of the people we live with, not only in the living environment but within the house community also.</p>
<p>Share Residence Motosumiyoshi is a sharehouse brightened by the management’s use of color throughout. The company, Share Design, have really pulled out all the stops to make their houses interesting and you could even go so far as to call them the artisans of sharehouses.</p>
<p>The message of these artisans of wanting the house community and tenants themselves to fill their lives with color can not just be seen in the furniture, but hidden throughout the entire house.</p>

<p>The sound of a streetcar bell takes you back to the days of old in the elegant neighborhood of Minowa. Located right between Ueno and Kitasenju, as soon as you step off the train you are transported into a shopping district straight out of the Showa period.Through the arcade on the other side lies an old town that once evening, bustles with people drinking at coffee shops, housewifes shopping for ingredients for dinner and students making their way home from school.</p>
<p>Maison de Minowa is a share house 5-minutes walk from Minowa station on the Hibiya line, a subdued building hidden amongst a neighborhood of traditional old wooden houses.</p>
<p>Heading inside we are greeted with a vibrant dining room so different from the look of exterior that will amuse you. This house combines elements of Japanese house design with a modern twist to create a contemporary dwelling that won’t take any time getting used to and provides much comfort to residents.</p>
<p>So without delay let’s introduce the rooms!</p>

<p>The management of this house, Fine Select, takes care of many other female-exclusive properties so we know that not only do they assist women in living safe and comfortably, they also maintain a kind of interior design that makes being in the house fun. The staff are also female and because of this are able to think about things from the viewpoint of the female tenants.</p>
<p>The simple white rooms have been built in contrast to the bright colors of the dining room, making it possible to decorate your own space however you please. This consideration is because the staff know that a woman’s taste changes over time. Perhaps bright in the summer, monochrome in the winter. You just can’t help but imagine the possibilities of a room that transforms with a girls state of mind.</p>
<p>Wandering about the neighborhood you’ll feel soothed by the traditional atmosphere and bustle of the shopping district that still stands as it had during the Showa period, a hidden refuge from the city.</p>
