フクハウス 船場
Fuku House Senba is an international sharehouse in a mid-rise building in Osaka's Senba district, occupying floors 4 through 7 of the Fukumoto Building in Bakuromachi. The location sits on a busy commercial street directly between Nagahoribashi and Sakaisuji-Honmachi subway stations, each a 5-minute walk. Shinsaibashi is 10 minutes on foot. It is run by the Fuku House operator, which manages three other properties in Osaka (Suita, Fuse, and Morinomiya).
The concept is "HOME AWAY FROM HOME". The mix of Japanese and international residents share daily life, exchange languages, and build friendships. The property is not a coworking-focused space. Remote work happens from private rooms or the shared living room. Free Wi-Fi covers the entire building.
Room options span four floors with prices from ¥28,000 rent + ¥13,000 common fee per month. Options include a budget men's dorm room on the 6th floor, standard private rooms on the 4th and 7th floors, and a larger private room with balcony. Every room includes a bed, desk, chair, and air conditioner. The common fee covers utilities and internet.
Shared facilities include a full kitchen with microwave, toaster, cookware, tableware, and electric kettle. The living room has a TV, billiards table, ping pong table, darts board, game console, and a shelf of books and guidebooks. Coin-operated laundry (¥100/wash, ¥100/30 min dry) is available on-site. The building is non-smoking indoors with a designated outdoor smoking area. Shared spaces are cleaned by a manager approximately once a week. No food service is provided and no dietary options are available. Residents cook for themselves in the shared kitchen.
Initial cost is one month's rent as deposit, refunded at move-out minus a ¥5,000 cleaning fee for stays of 3 months or longer. Move-out requires 1 month written notice. Required documents at signing are contract form, photo ID (passport or driver's license), visa, credit card copy, and residence card.

Language exchange and friendship are the explicit draw, not structured programming. Contact and event announcements go through LINE.
