国際交流シェアハウスEN-JING The Borderless
EN-JING The Borderless is an international sharehouse in Beppu with 19 private rooms spread across two floors. At any given time, roughly half the residents are non-Japanese, drawn from countries including South Korea, Nepal, India, Kyrgyzstan, and beyond. The mix makes this one of the most genuinely international shared living situations in Kyushu.
The house sits a 10-minute walk from Beppu University Station and 3 minutes from the bus stop on the APU (Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University) line. A convenience store is 2 minutes away, a drugstore 2 minutes, and a supermarket 10 minutes on foot. The sea, a park, and the university cafeteria are all within easy reach.
Common areas are fully equipped with an IH kitchen, home appliances, tableware, and cooking utensils. Free Wi-Fi and an Amazon Fire TV are available. Each private room includes a bed, air conditioner, refrigerator, and lighting. The house was fully renovated before opening.
EN-JING also runs English lessons for residents, making it a rare sharehouse where language exchange is built into daily life. The international student population at nearby APU further reinforces the multicultural atmosphere of the neighborhood. Dietary options are not confirmed.
