Even when you live in Japan, it’s not always easy meeting people who are as passionate as you about anime. But if you live in one of the Ani x Share Houses in Tokyo, you’ll be surrounded by anime-lovers every day.

There are two Ani x Share Houses in Tokyo — Kisuishou Rokucho in Adachi Ward, and Hermitage Chitose Funabashi in Setagaya Ward. Both require their residents to be enthusiasts of anime, and will provide private bedrooms and shared bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms to individuals that fit that criteria (among other things, of course).

From the outside, the boarding houses look like ordinary, stylish homes — you’d never guess that on the inside, the rooms are sprinkled with small touches of anime-themed decor, from figurines to blackboards with illustrations of the residents’ favorite anime characters.

Both houses are about 6 minutes from the nearest station, with rooms rented out from around 262 USD to 613 USD, depending on the size of the room.

But the best part about living with other anime-lovers is being able to share experiences with them, and the residents at the Ani x Share Houses are always making efforts to communicate and congregate whenever they can. When they’re not watching anime or cooking dinner together, they might be out shopping, going to anime-related events, or having fun cosplaying. They even invite guests over every now and then to deepen ties with others who have the same interests that don’t live at the boarding house.

Many of the current residents are budding artists, passionate about animation production, illustration, and cosplay. After a long day, they can go home every night and talk (or complain) about work, or simply exchange ideas with others working in the creative field.

They had recently been recruiting new people to share their warm abode with, but after receiving a massive volume of inquiries from all over the world, they are (very, very unfortunately) currently no longer on the lookout. But you never know when they’ll have another room open, so it might be worth keeping yourself updated. And if you look carefully enough, you might find other share houses that run under a similar concept!
