Study Kyoto

What’s the worst case during your first time studying in Kyoto? Your university doesn’t provide a dorm, you don’t know any seniors to ask, you don’t know what to do.

Trust me, this situation happens a lot among international students.
You definitely need a temporary place to stay before buying your Japanese simcard, creating your bank account and finding an apartment.

Recently, one of my Indonesian friends in Kyoto shared her experience dealing with exactly this problem. When she first arrived in Kyoto, she looked for a place to stay for 1–2 months while searching for a long-term apartment.

This is not a paid promotion, but she recommended this place:
👉 https://j-stay.jp/

How to rent:
1. Visit the website.
2. Choose a room based on your preference using the map or the house list.
3. Send a request form or contact them via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or LINE through:
https://j-stay.jp/contact.php
4. You can book a room even if you are still outside Kyoto. Payment can be made upon arrival, just explain your situation in your request.
5. Visit their office, which is about a 5-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station. They will take you to the house/apartment by car and help you complete the contract after showing you the room.
6. You can rent the room for as short as 1–2 months while looking for a long-term apartment.

According to my friend, they are very responsive, and payment can be made in cash or by card.

1️⃣🙆🍒 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴

To find part-time jobs in Kyoto, my first advice is to rely on your networking. In my opinion, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄, as they can vouch for the legitimacy and reliability of the opportunity.

You can do this by joining community groups where they gather (for example, in my case there is an Indonesian student's association who can help you in many things). These connections can be incredibly valuable, as they may know of job vacancies or can provide recommendations. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱. So, don’t hesitate to ask them if they are aware of any openings or opportunities!

Another effective tip is to ask for assistance from the international center at your university. The staff at these centers are often well-connected and knowledgeable about local job opportunities for international students.𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Leveraging the resources and connections available at your university's international center can significantly enhance your chances of finding a suitable part-time job in Kyoto.
