Host family
This is the ideal option if you wish to immerse yourself in daily Tokyo life. In a country with a very different culture, staying with a Japanese family can be a comfort and allows you to experience the lifestyle of a traditional Tokyo family. You will stay in a single room and receive half-board accommodation. The families live within an hour to 90 minutes of the course centre by public transport. A homestay can be a convenient option to get your bearings in Japan for the first few weeks. You then have the possibility of choosing another accommodation type among those offered by the school in order to discover a different, more independent way of living in Tokyo.
Guesthouse
ISI Language School-Tokyo offers the chance to stay in a guesthouse (Warabi, Matsudo or Nerima). This is the option which is most often chosen by European students. You will have your own small bedroom and share the common areas (kitchen/dining area, laundry, showers, living room with TV and Wi-Fi) with the other residents. You will need to allow about 45 minutes by metro to get to school and around 18,000 yen per month for transport costs.
Residence
Depending on the duration of your stay in Japan, the school can offer you two pleasant residences located a short distance from public transport. Situated 20 minutes by train from the school, the Tokiwadai residence is available for stays of 2 weeks and upwards, while the Ekoda residence is 30 minutes by train from the school and is also available for stays of 2 weeks and upwards. Whichever you choose, you will have a single room with a private bathroom, air conditioning, free internet access, a TV, small refrigerator and telephone (receiving calls is free, but an extra charge applies for making calls). Microwave ovens, vending machines for drinks and newspapers as well as coin-operated laundry facilities are available on-site. Bed linen is provided.
