All Utilities and Internet are included in the rent.

So, consider utilities to be 4-9000/mo min per person in theory. So now factor in this value in to the total rent cost to see the base rent rate.

Of course there are cheaper places around town. Well those “cheap” places have their down sides over this house. Such as being in remote areas, or SMALL, or shared with more than 3, grundgy, too many rules, curfews, long contracts, large deposits, needing a guarantor, grumpy Japanese landlords, bullshit house rules, noisy traffic, lack of amenities, no space, no internet in your room, not furnished, and probably no view of kyoto like this house does…  the list goes on.

Just come by and see this house and how it pars way up there on comfort, size, quiet, good location, furnishings, cool roommates and more. Its ok to be a night owl at our house too.

Usually up to 3 people max in the house at once. [ 3 bedroom house].
