Apartments
There is no dormitory for international students around Asakura campus, so many international students live in apartments, most ranging in cost from 20,000 yen to 45,000 yen per month. Initial costs such as refundable deposit*, key money** and agency commission may apply (equivalent to three or four months rent).
In order to rent an apartment, you need a guarantor. Kochi University does not provide an institutional guarantee service. Students who cannot find a guarantor are advised to use a guarantee company appointed by their real estate agency. We recommend a guarantee company called GTN, but ultimately your landlord/agency is responsible for choosing the company.
*Conditional on the accommodation being properly maintained by the occupant for the duration of their occupancy
**Key money in Japan is a mandatory payment by a new tenant to the landlord of a property. This money is considered a gift to the landlord and is not returned after the cancellation of the lease.
Dormitory for Japanese students
If you are interested in living in a dormitory, please make an inquiry to see if you are able to move in.
