Knowing which one you&#8217;ll spend most of your time at should shape your housing search more than any other single factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Imadegawa Campus<\/strong> sits in the heart of Kyoto, just north of the Kyoto Imperial Palace and beside Shokokuji Temple. Around 20,000 students study here, across most of the university&#8217;s faculties and graduate schools. Five of its buildings are nationally designated cultural properties. That gives the campus a genuinely historic character rare among Japanese universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kyotanabe Campus<\/strong>, in southern Kyoto Prefecture, houses science and engineering programs on a much larger, more modern site. It has around 9,000 students. The feel is distinctly different from Imadegawa \u2014 newer buildings, more green space, and a quieter surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-2.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-2-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-2-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Interior view of a Japanese student dormitory room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Dormitories_Does_Doshisha_University_Offer\"><\/span>What Dormitories Does Doshisha University Offer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doshisha University has historically been able to house essentially all exchange students who request dormitory accommodation. A limited number of spots also exist for privately financed international students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Doshisha Global House<\/strong> and <strong>Shugakuin International House<\/strong> are the university&#8217;s dedicated dormitories. Both were built specifically to support intercultural exchange between Japanese and international students. Both are coordinated through the Office of International Students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Off-campus dormitories<\/strong> are also arranged separately for exchange students who aren&#8217;t placed in the two main dormitories. This gives the university flexibility to accommodate demand even in busy semesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re a privately financed international student rather than an exchange student, dormitory space is more limited. Apply as early as possible after receiving your acceptance letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Neighborhoods_for_Doshisha_University_Student_Housing_Off-Campus\"><\/span>Best Neighborhoods for Doshisha University Student Housing Off-Campus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Around Imadegawa Station<\/strong>, on the Karasuma subway line, is the most convenient area for students attending Imadegawa Campus. A 1K or 1DK apartment here typically runs \u00a555,000\u2013\u00a570,000 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kamigyo-ku&#8217;s quieter residential streets<\/strong> sit a short walk further from the station. They offer somewhat lower rent, often \u00a550,000\u2013\u00a560,000 per month, while keeping a walkable commute to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Near Kyotanabe Campus<\/strong>, rent runs noticeably lower than central Kyoto. Expect \u00a545,000\u2013\u00a560,000 per month for a comparable unit, reflecting the area&#8217;s more suburban character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a broader look at rent across Kyoto, our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/kyoto-apartments-for-rent-foreigners-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kyoto apartments for rent for foreigners<\/a> breaks down pricing across the city&#8217;s main districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Arrange_a_Guarantor_for_Private_Housing\"><\/span>How Do I Arrange a Guarantor for Private Housing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Private apartments in Japan almost always require a guarantor, whether you&#8217;re renting near Imadegawa or Kyotanabe. Doshisha University itself has partnerships with private guarantor companies and real estate agents. It recommends these to students specifically to smooth the contract process. You&#8217;ll generally still need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A valid student visa and Certificate of Eligibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A guarantor company, arranged either through the university&#8217;s recommended partners or independently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of funds \u2014 a scholarship letter, a parent&#8217;s income statement, or a bank balance certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An emergency contact based in Japan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/guarantor-system-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the guarantor system in Japan<\/a> explains how these companies price their fees nationwide. <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/required-documents-for-renting-in-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Required documents for renting in Japan<\/a> covers the full paperwork checklist, regardless of which guarantor route you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-3.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-3-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/doshisha-university-student-housing-3-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Quiet Japanese street with modern student apartments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dorm_vs_Private_Apartment_Which_Should_You_Choose\"><\/span>Dorm vs. Private Apartment: Which Should You Choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exchange students<\/strong> have a strong case for the dormitory route. Doshisha has historically housed essentially all exchange students who request a room, and dormitory living removes the guarantor requirement entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Degree-seeking privately financed students<\/strong> face more competition for the limited dormitory spots. They often end up in private housing regardless, which makes early planning around guarantor arrangements more important for this group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Students who want more independence than dormitory life offers<\/strong> sometimes look at a share house as a middle ground. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/guide-to-renting-a-share-house-in-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">renting a share house in Japan<\/a> covers how that option works for foreign students specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_Kyoto_Different_From_Tokyo_for_Student_Housing\"><\/span>What Makes Kyoto Different From Tokyo for Student Housing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond price, Kyoto offers a genuinely different day-to-day experience than Tokyo&#8217;s major student hubs. The city is smaller, denser with historic sites, and generally easier to navigate on foot or bicycle. Many students find the pace noticeably calmer than Tokyo, though this comes with fewer late-night options and a smaller international social scene overall. Cost of living, including groceries and dining out, tends to run somewhat lower than in central Tokyo as well, which stretches a student budget further even before comparing rent directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Securing_Housing_Before_You_Arrive\"><\/span>Step-by-Step: Securing Housing Before You Arrive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Confirm your campus and student category<\/strong> \u2014 exchange or privately financed \u2014 as soon as your acceptance is confirmed. This determines your dormitory eligibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply for dormitory housing immediately if eligible.<\/strong> Even with strong historical placement rates for exchange students, earlier applications get priority on room type and location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Notify the university&#8217;s Office of International Students in advance<\/strong> if arranging private housing. Doshisha specifically asks students searching independently to keep them informed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line up your guarantor<\/strong> through the university&#8217;s recommended partners, or independently, in parallel with your apartment search.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confirm your actual commute<\/strong> to your specific faculty building.
