My New Home

Dear Lillian,

HOUSING ASSIGNMENT
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY JAPAN
Fall 2009

You have been assigned:

Akasaka Double*

Roommate: Jade ---*

*Please note that both this housing and roommate assignment are tentative and could change before arrival.

International Plaza Akasaka is a residential hotel located in a business district in Tokyo, and is an approximately 30-40 minute walk from the TUJ campus (or several stops by subway). Each two-person unit includes a bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. Basic furnishings, linens, dishes and kitchen utensils are provided. Each unit also has a television, phone, and air conditioning. There is ethernet internet access for students bringing a laptop. As the floors tend to be cold and removal of shoes is mandatory, students are strongly encouraged to bring a comfortable pair of slippers. There is a coin laundry in the building. There is also an on-site manager.

The Akasaka International Plaza is centrally located. Nearby you will find a supermarket, convenience store, a 100 yen shop, office supply stores, and a Starbucks. Roppongi, the center of the entertainment district for foreigners, is a 10-15 minute walk from the Akasaka facility.

Sincerely,
International Programs

haha I asked for a single in Ontakesan and got neither. At least the commute won't be as long. I guess I will never know the experience of using a bathroom shared with tens of other girls, but that's okay.
