Want to get great accommodation and give to charity at the same time?
Moving to a new country can be a daunting experience, and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed at first! Many people start their journey in Japan by booking hotels or Airbnbs until they can get something more permanent.
However, there’s a much better alternative that can ease your transition to your new home country! Mobal has teamed up with Oakhouse to offer special discounted spaces in ‘sharehouses’. This is a fantastic way to settle into life in Japan while enjoying a more community-oriented environment, and could save you a lot of cash too!
What is a sharehouse?
A sharehouse in Japan is a communal living arrangement where individuals rent private rooms but share common spaces like kitchens and living areas. Popular among young professionals, students, and expatriates, it offers affordability and a social environment.
OakHouse residents benefit from privacy and community through shared spaces that encourage interaction and community events, making socializing and forming friendships easy.
Sharehouses in Japan are well-equipped and often furnished. They feature shared kitchens, lounges, and laundry facilities. Compared to traditional rentals, they offer easy move-in and move-out processes.
Living in a diverse sharehouse allows for cultural exchange and language practice, providing a vibrant, community-oriented lifestyle that balances personal space with shared experience.

Shared houses are great ways to adapt to a new culture; they allow you to interact with newness from the comfort of your room. Let’s go through some positives about shared living:
- Affordability: Sharehouses typically have lower monthly rents than traditional apartments, avoiding additional costs like key money and deposit fees.
- Simplified Process: Renting a sharehouse involves straightforward application procedures, minimal paperwork, and flexible lease terms, making it easier for newcomers.
- Social Environment: Sharehouses foster a communal living environment, encouraging interactions and making it easier to meet people and form connections.
- Convenience: Many sharehouses come furnished and include utilities in the rent, eliminating the hassle of buying furniture or managing separate bills.
- Flexibility: If compatibility with roommates is an issue, sharehouses often offer the option to transition to another within their network, ensuring a comfortable living arrangement.
- Charity: We want you to feel productive when paying your monthly rent; that’s why we are offering ¥5000 charity donation on top of the ¥10000 discount when you book your stay with Oakhouse.
