The housing office coordinates all of Yamasa's student housing resources as well as the homestay and homevisit programs. It handles all futon rentals and all inquiries concerning accommodation. Students who wish to rent apartments in other parts of the city or accommodation not owned by Yamasa can still seek advice from the office regarding contracts and Yamasa will be able to act as the guarantor for the lease if required. The Housing Coordinator is Ms Kyoko Kurokawa. Other key members include the maintenance coordinator Mr. Yoshitaka Tsuzuki, and the resident manager of the Student Village Mrs Kikuyo Furukawa.

Yamasa is unusual in having 3 full time housing staff - but these are essential for quality management of the apartments and student village facilities, and for smooth scheduling. One of the most difficult challenges involved in providing a large number of programs and start dates is the accommodation scheduling. Students often need to extend their stay (sometimes at very short notice), change their preferences, encounter financial difficulties etc. These are part and parcel of student life. Responding to these needs isn't easy, but it is essential that it be professionally handled so that your housing needs are met and you can concentrate of successful study.
