Q. How much is the dormitory fee and how to pay?

Boarding fee is 5,700 yen per month and Maintenance fee is 5,130 yen per month. Residents are required to pay electricity, water, and other utility fees used in their daily life.
It depends on the season and how the residents use the hot and cold water, but it seems between 15,000 yen to 20,000 yen including the boarding fee, maintenance fee and utility fee.
Please use the invoice sent from the university every month (posted to the mailbox in the dormitory) and pay at the convenience store by the end of the month. Please note that the transfer fee will be borne by you.

Q. What is a maintenance fee?

It will be used for all the dormitory students or for the common areas of the dormitory.For example, it is used for the following things.
Cleaning of common areas (corridor, shower room, shared kitchen, laundry room, stairs, mail corner, garbage storage, etc.), waxing of shared kitchen and corridor, pest control, pruning of trees, extermination of beehives, waste disposal, cleaning after moving out, etc.

Q. What kind of things are equipped in the room? Do I need rugs or curtains?

The room has bed, locker, desk, swivel chair, window shade, vanity unit, toilet (equipped with ventilation), air conditioner, TV antenna terminal, (when installing a TV, make a contract with NHK. Please do it yourself), buzzer, electrical equipment (20A capacity per room), LAN Internet (the LAN cable should be prepared by each resident), call chime, and telephone wiring.
You can use the Internet immediately by plugging the LAN cable into the modular jack and connecting it to your computer. If you use wi-fi, please purchase a wireless router individually.
Since the room is 12㎡, it is not possible to install many items. We think it is better to purchase the necessary items after moving in.
There is no carpet, so please bring one if necessary. (It is recommended to purchase after moving in.) No curtains are required as the window shades are provided.

Q. Can the refrigerator be placed in the room?

If it is small, it can be placed. In addition, there are two shared refrigerators in the shared kitchen.
Furthermore, you can rent a small refrigerator of 100 liters for private room use.
We will ask whether you want to use after you are allowed to move in. It is an individual contract with a contractor, and the rental fee is prepaid.

Q. Is it possible to put a microwave in my room?

There is one shared microwave oven in the shared kitchen, but you can also put it in your own room.
Since there is no ground wire terminal, use an earth leakage breaker, etc. In addition, since the breaker capacity of the room is 20A, it is easy for the breaker to trip when using multiple home appliances at the same time.

Q. Is there a bath in the dormitory?

There are 4 unit showers on each floor (there is no bathtub).
Hot water will come out for 10 minutes for 100 yen.
