絆家シェアハウス FUKU HOUSE 布施
Kizunaya Sharehouse is a Japan-wide coliving operator (絆家) running 28 locations and roughly 700 residents across Tokyo, Osaka, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Saitama. Their primary Osaka property is FUKU HOUSE Fuse, a 24-room private coliving house in Higashi-Osaka, a 10-minute train ride from Namba and 13 minutes from Tennoji. The building is condominium-grade with an elevator, auto-lock on every room, and a rooftop terrace that fits 50 people for BBQs and house events.
Every private room comes with a single bed, desk, air conditioner, curtains, storage, and a mini-fridge. Monthly rent starts at ¥27,000–¥36,000 plus an ¥18,000 service fee covering utilities, internet, and basic maintenance. No deposit, no key money, no brokerage fee. Minimum stay is 3 months. Those committing to a year get ¥6,000/month off and the first month free. Initial contract fee is ¥44,000.
The shared living room is spacious with a simple monotone design. Two full kitchens, a rice cooker, microwave, oven, and electric kettle are available. Coin-operated washing machines and dryers are in the building. Shared bathrooms include 3 showers, 2 full baths, and 5 toilets. A LAN connection is available in shared spaces. Wi-Fi speed is not confirmed in source data. There is no dedicated coworking space at FUKU HOUSE Fuse. Remote work happens from the shared living room or private rooms. Dietary options not confirmed in any source data.
Community is the central feature. Monthly events include online yoga, dance workshops, and casual presentation contests. The Kizunaya network effect is real. Residents can visit or stay at any of the 28 properties across Japan, which broadens the social circle well beyond the 24 people in the house. The cross-cultural setup is deliberate. Japanese and international residents are mixed by design, and the operator has been building this network since at least 2017.
The Fuse area has a long commercial street under the elevated rail with around 1,000 shops and a strong neighborhood feel. A 7-Eleven is 1 minute on foot, a supermarket is within 4 minutes, and a public bath is 2 minutes away. The nearest station is Fuse on the Kintetsu Namba Line, which puts Namba at 10 minutes and Tennoji at 13 minutes by train.

Kizunaya runs what it calls a "family all over the world" model — the idea is that residents from different countries, occupations, and generations share one roof and learn from each other's cultures in daily life. Japanese residents pick up English and foreign perspective; international residents get a genuine window into Japanese culture and language. The model is social by design, not incidental.
Community programming runs several times a month: online workshops, yoga, dance sessions, and small presentation events. Residents also get access to the wider Kizunaya network — 28 locations across Japan with about 700 current residents. Cross-house visits to other Kizunaya properties in Osaka, Tokyo, and Chiba are actively encouraged. A resident host is on-site one day per week and a professional cleaner maintains shared spaces once weekly.
Resident Mix
Mixed Japanese and international residents, male and female, age limit 35 at move-in. Foreign residents explicitly welcome. Range of occupations and nationalities; designed for language exchange and cultural connection.
