Regarding Accommodations
● Students who are not Eligible to Apply for a KGU-Arranged Accommodation
Due to severe limitations in accommodations availability, a large number of applicants will have to arrange for a "Self-Arranged Accommodation". We have prepared a quick guide on how to find a suitable accommodation in Japan for your reference. The guide includes links to real-estate agencies and share-houses. We strongly encourage you refer to it before starting to search for your accommodation.

● Students who are Eligible to Apply for a KGU-Arranged Accommodation
You are one of few students who will be able to apply for a KGU-Arranged Accommodation. The KGU Residence Center will be in touch by mid-October with details about the Accommodation Request process but in the meantime, you can find a quick overview of the accommodation options we offer on the page below (related pages currently under review and scheduled to be fully updated by mid-October).
※About KGU-Arranged Homestays: The number of homestays available for the 2023 Spring Semester intake will be very limited and KGU will require that all participants (students and adult family members) provide a COVID-19 Vaccine Certificate upon submitting their Accommodation Request/Host Family Application. If you are thinking about applying for a homestay, please make sure to have your certificate ready to upload by the time you apply. ※About KGU-Arranged Dormitories: While not required to apply for a dormitory, we strongly recommend you make sure to be fully COVID-19 vaccinated by the time of arrival to Japan.
