You love sports, but find that it’s too troublesome to go all the way to a court or field you have to pay fees for. You want to interact with a wide variety of people if you’re going to be making the time to exercise. Going for a run around your neighborhood just isn’t doing it for you, and playing indoor football with the same team members over and over again leaves you dissatisfied. If this sounds like you, then the Comfort Higashi-Koganei sharehouse is the perfect place to indulge your desires. With sport as the main theme there are many facilities that promote physical activity, and tenants can learn and cultivate themselves by playing sport and interacting with each other in this large-scale sharehouse with the capacity to house 161 people. A large court on which to enjoy tennis or futsal can be found on the premises, and a fitness studio for a wide variety of uses including dancing or yoga, as well as table tennis and billiard table, have been added inside the house. With room in the house for 161 tenants you are bound to find a different partner for each and every sport, and as you play hard and sweat it out together the bonds of friendship will surely deepen. The house is nearby Higashi-Kogenei station on the Chuo line. It’s quite a good location with stylish shopping area ‘nonowa Higashi-Kogenei’ found within the station and Kichijoji 10 minutes away, Shibuya 20 minutes. This is a sports house for the enjoyment of both young and old, male or female. Let’s get right to it and have a look inside! |

 The exterior. Just looking at it in passing you wouldn’t take it to be a sharehouse at all, would you?  The spaciousness of the entrance extending before you as you open the door will take your breath away. |

 Hang out and relax, chatting with friends in the lounge. Located in a position you can’t miss as you come home for the day and open the front door, you’ll end up in here without a second thought.  The room has great lighting with the window and walls made entirely from class, creating an overwhelming sense of space. |

 Simple cushions have been placed around this area so you could even fit in a snooze between all of your gaming, although this might be a tad bad-mannered.  There is quite a lot of space in this area, and it is perfect for dance practice with a large mirror attached to the wall. |

 There is plenty of room to live comfortably.  Get a feel for the building’s old company employee dormitory days in the corridors. |

Looking after this house is Oak House, professionals in the sharehouse industry who have created a large number of large-scale sharehouses in their history. Properties housing more than 100 people have increased in recent time and there is no doubt many people who doubt the management system of such properties. However, Oak House attaches one house manager to each property and the fact that they are flexible in dealing with things should anything happen is part of this company’s appeal.
These house managers interact peacefully with the tenants and participate in events on and off court.
Once we graduate from school and its afterschool sports club activities, opportunities to get out moving on the court or in the field begin to decrease. We start to feel a bit sentimental as we pass by our old schools and look upon the students trying their best at their chosen sports, remembering the good old days of our own youth.
I once heard the phrase ‘Youth is not a time of life but a state of mind’. There are no age restrictions or student card necessary in order to run around on the court.
It’s not a bad thing at all to run around on the court playing sport without a care in the world. You might even enjoy yourself more than you did when you were younger.
