Standard
These are the lowest-cost dorms, and tend to have the least facilities, both within the room and in the dorm itself. As this is Japan, the standard of living is of course very high, but these dorms are smaller than the average, and don't have en-suite bathroom. Rooms can be Western-style or Japanese-style, and have air-conditioning. Baths are shared, with private showers.
Superior
These dorm rooms are larger than the standard ones, and have en-suite bathroom and toilet. Rooms are Western style, and have air-conditioning, a bed, a phone for incoming calls, hot water, a fridge, and a desk and chair.
The dorms have a cafeteria, laundry room and kitchen.
Female-only dorms are available, and other dorms have secure female-only floors.
Deluxe
These are the largest dorm rooms, and closest to school. Rooms are Western style, and quite spacious for a dorm! Rooms have air conditioning, a unit bath/shower and toilet, a bed, a phone for incoming calls, hot water, a fridge, and a desk and chair. They may also have a small kitchen in the room. There is no curfew.
The buildings have a cafeteria, lounge and laundry room. The dorms are in the central area of the city, easily reachable by subway and within cycling distance of school.
Some dorms have
secure female-only floors.
