It makes sense for foreigners: A lot of them will have just a 1 year visa. It’s also hard to find a place as a foreigner, renting a sharehouse room is less hassle, etc
But for Japanese people, they can easily find a tiny apartment for similar price as a sharehouse room but with more privacy and convenience. And since they are a citizen here, it’s probably way easier to get a private apartment setup and stuff. Yet I see some (small minority) of Japanese people rent a sharehouse room instead.
I asked one and he told me it’s because he wants to interact with foreigner. Okay. But that can’t be the reason all of them do this
