Can my employer legally enter my dorm and force me to change address without notice?

This might need some context as to the specifics of my contract and my living situation as I found it difficult to find the Japanese law that applies to me.

I am currently living in Niseko area for a working ski holiday, where I work with a local hotel and stay in the company dormitory. The company owns 2 different properties for dormitories and I would say I live in the nicer one, with my own room and space.

Now recently several of my roommates have moved out, leaving just me and one other housemate. As such my boss told me he wants me to move to the other dormitory to save on utilities. As I am only living in Niseko for another few weeks I dont believe it to be reasonable for him to ask me and my housemate to move.

It is important to note my tenancy contract states that I am entitled to stay at \[property 1\] or \[property 2\], so I know that I can not argue it would breach my contract to shift me to the second property.

In light of all that I was wondering if my landlord/employer needs to give me a notice period for change of address?

So just today he came by my place to bring up my change of address, I told him that I am unwilling to move and he got very angry. He mentioned that he will be coming by our house to check on us more often and that we are following all the house rules. This brings me to my second question;

Does my boss need to give any legal notice before coming to and entering our house?

It may be important to note that my employer also lives at the other dormitory, if that affects how he can legally enter our dorm.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated! I find it difficult to find my legal rights online as this issue seems pretty specific. If anyone has any kind of official sources I can quote as well I would be very grateful .
