Several unique features differentiate these apartments from the other studios in Yamasa's student housing portfolio. In this file we are referring to the 16 studio apartments designated "Type A". The term "Type A" refers to the interior design and layout. The four Type B apartments in Residence Hane are slightly larger. Key Features: Type A apartments have extensive food preparation areas, high ceilings and interior door clearances, improved energy efficiency, and better privacy & security. The rooms are deliberately designed to make living in Japan more comfortable for students taller than 175cm (5 feet 7 inches) - the height of the desk, sink, food preparation areas, shower head etc have all been raised to prevent back pain and discomfort. Of the 16 apartments 10 have covered balconies, all large enough to sit comfortably outside. Four of these balconies are large enough for up to 4 people to enjoy outdoor dining. All the apartments are fully furnished and well lit, they are designed for comfortable single occupancy, with double glazed windows and extensive sound insulation to reduce disruptions to your living and study environment from any external noise. Location: Hane is located next to the Student Village, about 12 minutes walk, (by bicycle only about 6 minutes) from the campus. It is also close to shops, restaurants, supermarkets and bus-stops. A 24 hour convenience store and late night coin laundry are 1 minute away. Click here for location map (opens new window).

Interior Design Notes: The apartments are western style with floors of polished wood. The internal space of Type A (view room floorplan: PDF GIF) is 21.75 square meters (approx. 235 square feet). By contrast Type B is 25.20 square meters (approx. 270 square feet).
Internet Facilities: Any student living in Residence Hane has internet access (via a fast fiber-optic LAN). The cost of the connection is included in the rent and does not need to be applied for. The connection is active from the minute you move in. The desk is located next to the board containing 4 power sockets, tv antenna plug, telephone jack and ethernet jack. You would need a short length of cable to connect. If required, cable can be purchased in local electronics shops or from Yamasa. Energy efficiency: Residence Hane apartments have shaded front doors, double glazing, good insulation and because the interior areas can be reduced by closing the internal doors, you can reduce the amount of space you need to heat or cool. Telephone and Internet: Any student living in Residence Hane has internet access (via a fast fiber-optic LAN). The cost of the connection is included in the rent and does not need to be applied for. The connection is active from the minute you move in. The desk is located next to the board containing 4 power sockets, tv antenna plug, telephone jack and ethernet jack. You would need a short length of cable to connect. If required, cable can be purchased in local electronics shops or from Yamasa. There is a telephone jack, but no telephone provided inside the apartment. If you wish to install a telephone/fax etc then you would need to obtain a lease or rent a line. Most students are using computer-to-phone software utilizing the internet connection. Yamasa will assist you if you need a telephone installed in your apartment. Most students prefer to use the cheaper option of handheld cellular phones (mobiles/cellphones), pre-paid cards, or Skype. Laundry facilities: There is a coin laundry next door to the Residence, directly between the apartments and the 24 hour convenience store. The laundry has excellent dryers. 10 of the Type A apartments have balconies, 4 of these balconies are large enough for up to 4 people to enjoy outdoor dining. Both are useful for drying clothes. The coin laundry is 1 minute away and open to midnight. Bicycle & Cars: Bicycles are usually parked between the Residence entrance and the Student Village. This area is well lit. Free car parking is also available. Balconies/External Features / Rent: The interior design of the 16 "Type A" apartments are identical even though there are different prices (rents). The difference in price is due to the balcony size & type.
#Note: Deposit is 70,000 yen, with the unused balance refunded to you in full after cleaning and the final month of utility bills are paid. We have avoided using the numbers 4 & 9 in order to preserve a Japanese superstition. Advantages reported by students: Close to route 248. More independence and privacy - your own bathroom. Convenient to have own kitchen and no need to wait. Quiet at night. Good study environment. Fast internet access (fiber-optic LAN). There is a door between the kitchen and the main room - this makes it easier to keep the main room warn during the winter. Insulation is better than Yamasa Villa. Microwave oven on site. Gas cooking. There is a large amount of personal space per student. Disadvantages reported by students: No wheelchair access. Student Interviews - Residence Hane Residents:
