Kyoto Prefecture has established quotas for prefectural housing units available exclusively for international researchers, international students, and similar individuals. This initiative aims to foster a society where such individuals can live with peace of mind and to contribute to the internationalization of Kyoto Prefecture.
The applicants must be international researchers and students who belong to a university in Kyoto Prefecture, live with their families, rely on the researcher/student’s income for their livelihood, and have other problems concerning various housing issues (difficulties in securing housing, high rent, insufficient facilities, etc.).
The properties are mainly prefectural housing units located in Kyoto City and Southern Kyoto Prefecture.
Applications are accepted approximately three times a year. For details on required documents and submission methods, please contact the international student office at your university.
International researchers and international students may also apply for general application which is open to everyone.
