If you are looking for a nice and open-minded community to join you on some activities or to inspire you on doing things you would not think of yourself, please go ! I had amazing times with many different people and felt very home with them all. It really felt like a new family within a month

I think staying at Borderless is a great way to meet new people, both for international folks coming to Japan and meeting Japanese people, but also for Japanese people to learn more about other cultures and meeting people from all around the world (and most of them know at least a little Japanese or want to learn, so the language barrier is not very high!).

You are surrounded by people who want to become friends with you if you give them the chance and are in an excellent location to see and do many things in Kyoto/Kansai area.

1年半滞在しましたが、本当にこの家を選んで良かったと思っています。英語を話せるのはもちろんですがそれ以上に人と生活することの楽しさや難しさなど色々なことを経験することができました。この家に住んでから、人と話すのがより好きになった気がします。西陣ハウスが1番です!!空き部屋があったらすぐに入居してください!笑

当たり前が当たり前ではないことを改めて実感しました。ここではいろんなバックグラウンドを持った人たちがたくさんいるので、一緒に生活を共有することはとても楽しかったです。もちろん、文化や生活習慣の 違いもあるので、驚くこともありましたが、幸いにも私は興味を持ってる性格だったため、楽しむことができました。 それぞれの生活があるので、無理に馴染もうとしたり大人数に合わせたりする必要はありませんが、どんな時でも自分の意思表示をしっかりすることが大切だと感じました。 そして、ここで出会えたことが当たり前ではないことを気づかせてくれた素敵な経験でした!!

I stayed here over the Christmas period, which can feel lonely when you are not with family. But we had a party where we cooked and ate together and it felt like a new family in Japan.
