Kyoto University - 京都大学国際交流推進機構

INTRODUCTION
Three housing facilities are available for international students and researchers at Kyoto University.
Located in the Shugakuin, Uji and Ohbaku areas, they are quiet neighborhoods on the suburban outskirts of
the city of Kyoto. All three houses have an in-house advisor and assistant house advisor who will support
residents in their day-to-day living. Shugakuin also has a medical advisor.
1. Application for Admission
For Researchers
Housing applications may be submitted by the researcher’s host professor or a staff member of the office
to which the researcher belongs through our website ( http://www.opir.kyoto-u.ac.jp/kuiso/kaikan/nyukyo/
sortition.html#1 ) from four months before the scheduled move-in date. The period of residence should not
be less than one month nor exceed one year. Extensions will not be granted. Lots will be drawn in cases
where the number of applicants exceeds the number of available units.
INTRODUCTION
For Students
The move-in periods for the Kyoto University International Houses are April and October. Applications
will be accepted in January and July (three months prior to move-in). The tenancy period for students is
either one year or six months, and may not be extended in either case. Those who are interested should
consult with their faculty/graduate offices in advance regarding application procedures.
2. Permission for Residence
A successful applicant will receive a notice indicating that permission has been granted to take up
residence at the requested international house. The Notice of Permission for Admission is valid only for the
application as it was filled out, and should any of the information change, the applicant must inform the
house office before moving in. In particular, permission may be withdrawn if the applicant should change
one of the following items: (1) period of stay (2) number of accompanying family members.
3. When moving in
Be sure to inform the house office of your scheduled date of arrival in advance. On the date of arrival,
proceed to the house office and complete the admission procedures in person during the office hours (see 5).
4. When moving out
Notify the house office of your scheduled move-out date, 2 weeks or earlier in advance. When vacating
the unit, all furnishings must be left in their original location and condition. 【Note】Rooms must be vacated
during office hours, as the unit will be inspected. Residents will be required to return their unit key upon
departure.
