Plaza Waseda
Nishi-Waseda 1-chome, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo — a share house with community, operated by U Share
Four minutes' walk from Waseda Campus
Waseda Campus is a four-minute walk away and the Sakura Tram (Toden Arakawa Line) Waseda stop is one minute on foot — close enough to drop home between classes. Plaza Waseda is a small nine-room share house on four floors, with a kitchen and restroom shared on each floor and a shower room on the ground floor. It is operated by U Share, so the lounges and community events in Nishi-Waseda are open to you on the same terms as to residents of the other buildings.
U SHARE COMMUNITY
A small home, a large community
Inside Plaza Waseda the shared spaces are the kitchen and restroom on each floor and the shower room on the ground floor. Everything else — lounges, the rooftop and the events held there — is available to you at U Share Waseda WC1 and WC2, both within walking distance and on the same terms as their own residents. It is a way to join a multinational student community from a small house of your own.
