What is a Share House?

“J&F” means Japanese and Foreigners and the aim of our house is to accelerate international exchanges. It makes it possible for everybody to live with people who have different backgrounds and share different cultures. Therefore, J&F House is not a only house. For Japanese people, it is a house as if they were abroad in other countries and foreigners have lots of opportunities to make friends with Japanese people here. In addition, they can get Japanese brand new information at site soon.

About J&F Plaza

We have been managing J&F House since October, 1999. The Share House was called "Gaikokujin House (foreigners house)"at that time and J&F Plaza is a pioneer company in the Share House industry. J&F Plaza originated from Ichii International department and was funded as a spin-off from Ichii in July, 2007. After that, we expanded our businesses into not only Share Houses but also real estate agencies (including selling & buying), employment placement businesses, organising/planning international parties and introductions to Japanese language schools. Those services are all for foreigners and we are the real-estate company. But our mission is to assist foreigners in what foreigners need in Japan for their lives.
