RESIDENTS' VOICE

I think the most enjoyable part of living here is getting to know many people and being able to do various things with friends. Before coming to Japan, I was worried that I would not be able to make friends because of my poor Japanese. However, when I moved here, the office staff introduced me to residents who are studying at the same school or are the same nationality and speak the same language. Of course, you can get to know people from other countries by attending various events held here. Because I got to know these friends, I enjoyed my time in Japan even under the COVID-19 pandemic.

I was really worried about living with my wife and two kids in Sapporo with very little Japanese knowledge. But moving into Sapporo International Student Center (SISC) has made my life very comfortable. The location of the building is excellent with a subway station just in front of the building. Supermarkets, children’s parks, elementary school, and Toyohira riverfront are just within 5 minutes’ walking distance. But what makes this building stand out is the hospitality and help rendered by the management office. The management office staff are very helpful and have excellent English skills. They have helped in my son’s admission into elementary school, helped with my family’s medical needs, and many other issues of daily life. The building also has Resident Assistants who regularly organize a lot of fun activities and are always ready to help. The international diversity in the building allows understanding and cherishing the different cultures. My family is loving their stay in Japan because of SISC.
