Student Accommodation at I.C. Nagoya
Student Accommodation
I.C.NAGOYA offers a range of student accommodation options to meet your needs.
Most international students studying Japanese at I.C.NAGOYA Japanese language school with us start in our student dormitory, conveniently located only 10 minutes on foot from both our Japanese school and Nagoya station. Nothing beats walking to school each day, except maybe how easy it is to see the best of Nagoya City, and even the rest of Japan!
Other options include a homestay with a Japanese family, or renting a private apartment.

Homestay with Japanese Family
I.C.NAGOYA is proud to work with Homestay In Japan to provide homestay experiences for our students. While a homestay is more expensive than staying in a dormitory, it can be a great way to extend your studies, by practicing your Japanese with your host family after classes are over, and seeing a side of Japanese life that is otherwise inaccessible.

Private Apartments
Some students choose to rent an apartment, either by themselves or with friends. I.C.NAGOYA staff are happy to assist you in this by providing information on real estate agents that offer multilingual support and other services for foreigners. Please note that while you can use the school as your emergency contact, neither the school nor individual staff members can become a guarantor for you.
The school dormitory is very comfortable and located in a very quiet and safe area. There are many convenience stores, shops and restaurants around as well!
Though small, the rooms have everything you might need. It is safe, as the entrance doors have automatic locks! The building and elevators are checked regularly, so you can stay there without worrying!
The staff at I.C. Nagoya offer full support, so if you have any issues with your accommodation, they can help you resolve the problem very quickly!
When I first came to Japan, the staff guided me and provided full support for visa renewal, so my stay remained very comfortable, even though I am away from my home country.
