Any experience with the sharehouse company FOR.C Co Ltd?
For context, the company mentioned above runs houses named… Hi guys, I'm moving to Tokyo pretty soon and have been doing a lot of research on the sharehouse arrangements offered by various companies.
For context, the company mentioned above runs houses named Couverture in many locations, and they all look pretty decent based on the photos. However, reviews don't seem to be that readily available, I've already scoured most of the Internet in hopes of finding write-ups from previous/current tenants detailing their experiences.
Has anyone heard of said company and lived in their houses before? If yes, how was your experience like? Thanks!
I've actually looked into them myself before settling on a different sharehouse company. Their contract terms are pretty standard for Tokyo sharehouses, 2 month deposit and monthly rent including utilities which is typical. What stood out to me was that some of their Couverture properties near Nakano or Koenji are priced slightly higher than comparable places from Sakura House or Borderless House, but the common areas in the photos do look better maintained. If you're set on one of their locations, I'd recommend visiting in person first since some of the older buildings have that distinct Tokyo sharehouse smell in the hallways.
yeah i actually lived in one of their couverture places near shinjuku for about 8 months. honestly it was fine for the price but the cleaning staff only came once a week and some housemates were pretty messy so common areas got gross fast. wouldnt recommend if youre picky about shared space cleanliness
i haven't lived there but a friend stayed in one of their couverture places near musashi-sakai for about a year. said management was responsive when stuff broke and the house was clean but walls were paper thin so if you're a light sleeper maybe avoid lol
Best recurring garden meetups in Tokyo 2026
Check the ward-run shimin noen in Koto and Adachi, they run Saturday morning plots and welcome non-Japanese residents. Also look at city farming volunteer boards at the kuyakusho, some groups meet every week and ask for a small annual fee.
Common Place in Yoyogi hosts a monthly garden volunteer day, not weekly, so check their board. For weekly stuff, the Setagaya community garden groups near Sangenjaya are welcoming to foreigners.
Good shout on the monthly one, and Nakano's ward runs a weekly gardening circle that takes foreign residents too, I think you just sign up at the shimin center.
