Introducing stylish properties! A thorough explanation of OAK HOUSE's details and reputation

What is Oakhouse?

Oakhouse is a company that manages share houses, guest houses, and rental properties. Founded in 1992, it is one of the largest companies in Japan in terms of the number of properties it handles.

On the Oakhouse official website, room availability information is updated every 15 minutes, so you can get the latest room availability information as soon as possible. Also, since many foreigners live here, there are many opportunities for international exchange.

Some Oakhouse properties have workspaces where you can work or communicate, and some even have gyms so you can exercise, so you can choose the type of home you want to live in.

We hold numerous events for residents and offer a variety of community functions and social spaces based on the concept of not just living but "enjoying living."

1. Choose from a variety of room types

Oakhouse has seven different room types, from which you can choose the room that best suits your budget and lifestyle.

Single Room

There are private rooms in the shared house/apartment, and the rooms are equipped with furniture and appliances such as a refrigerator, air conditioner, bed, and desk.

The kitchen, toilet, and shower are shared within the share house, but if you want your own private space to relax, a single room is recommended.

Apartments

This apartment can be rented for as little as one month.

Not only are the furniture and appliances provided, but the room is also fully equipped with a kitchen, shower room, and toilet, so you can live inside the room.

It is ideal for short-term use, such as people who need to rent a room for a sudden business trip, or people who normally live overseas and want to rent a room when they return to Japan.

Dormitory

These rooms have bunk beds and are shared by 4 to 8 people.

The rooms are equipped with security boxes so you can keep your valuables safe and secure.

Dormitories are the cheapest type of room available, so if you don't have much luggage and want to keep costs down, they're a good choice.

compartment

These rooms are similar to dormitories, but they are partitioned off and have storage space and a desk, so you can have plenty of personal space.

The cost is about as low as a dormitory, so if you have some luggage we recommend a compartment rather than a dormitory.

Shared Room

This room is for two people to share, but since there is only one bed each, you can have your own personal space.

If you have some luggage, a shared room is a better option than a dormitory.

The rent is lower than that of a single room, making it ideal for people who want to move in with siblings or friends.

Semi-private

The one-room apartment has partitions or curtains separating it and is shared by 2-3 people.

Shared rooms do not have partitions, but semi-private rooms do have partitions, so you can have your own private space.

This is a shared room for those who want a private space.

2. You can borrow without a guarantor or a guarantee company

You can rent at Oakhouse without a guarantor or a guarantee company.

For example, some people may have various circumstances that make it difficult for them to act as guarantors, such as not having a family member or relative who can act as a guarantor, or having difficulty passing the screening process of a guarantor company.

There will be a telephone interview before signing the contract, but if there are no issues you can move in even without a guarantor.

3. You can see the ratio of males and females and foreign nationals for each property

Each Oakhouse property lists the percentage of occupants by gender, foreign nationality, age, etc.

Some people may want to interact with people of the same age or different ages, or may want to interact with foreigners.

Another attraction of Oakhouse is that you can refer to tenant information to choose a property that suits your needs.

4. Low initial costs

Oakhouse does not require a deposit or key money, so you can move in with less initial costs.

The only initial costs are rent, maintenance fees, and a contract fee.

There are no moving-out fees when you move out, so the costs of moving in and moving out can be kept low.

This is a great feature for students and those who can't afford housing.

5. There are various discount campaigns

Oakhouse offers a variety of discount campaigns.

As of September 2024, the following five campaigns are listed on the official website.

Smart Membership

A membership system that allows you to receive a discount of up to 16,000 yen on rent by paying a certain amount of deposit.

Fix Plan

If you use the property for a short period of time (such as for a short stay of one month) and your move-out date is confirmed when you move in, you will receive 10,000 yen worth of points that can be exchanged for cash when you move out.

Student discount

This is a discount system that gives all students a 5% discount on their monthly rent during the contract period.

Transfer Discount

If you are living in a share house with another company and move to an Oakhouse share house, you will receive 10,000 yen worth of points that can be used for a rent discount.

Affiliate Program

This is a system where you can receive 10,000 yen worth of points when you introduce Oakhouse to a friend or acquaintance and they move in. You can also receive rewards for introductions made through social media such as social media and blogs.

6. You can use your skills to have a side job

At Oak House, you can work a side job by offering your skills to other residents.

There is an app called "Oak Fellows" that allows residents to interact with each other, so they can communicate with each other and provide work.

For example, a hairdresser can use their skills to cut hair, and a nail artist can do nails, so it's a nice feature that they can use their skills to have a side job.

7. The official app is always available

You can continue to use the official Oakhouse app, "Oak Fellows," even after you move out.

This is a community that anyone connected to Oakhouse can join, including past residents, current residents, and future residents.

In order to create a community that you can participate in for life, even if you leave Oakhouse, you can still participate in the community using the official app.

8. Lots of events

One of Oakhouse's features is the wide variety of events it hosts.

A variety of events are held every month, including parties, camps, and social gatherings.

Even if you don't live in the same property, you can recruit event participants and interact with them through the official Oakhouse app, allowing you to deepen relationships with a variety of people.

Oakhouse is recommended for people who love events and want to interact with a variety of people.

9. You can move between share houses
