Please see the following options for accommodation during the Asian Postgraduate Course period and select the option you prefer (A, B, or C) when you send the course registration form.
A. Stay at the Tokiwa International Hall (a dormitory located nearby Tokiwa University) (Foreign participants from abroad shall be prioritized.)
During the two weeks of the Asian Postgraduate Course, the Tokiwa International Hall will receive a limited number of participants, especially those from abroad. This facility is primarily a residential building for Tokiwa University’s foreign students and researchers as well as for Japanese students who are interested in international exchange programs. As the number of room vacancies is very limited, we will accept your application on a first-come, first-served basis.
Application Deadline for Applicants from Abroad: June 30, 2010
*In case we have still vacancies as of July 1, Japanese participants can apply for stay from July 1.
| Lodging Fee: | 1,200 yen per day |
|---|---|
| Possible Period of Stay: | July 31 (Sat) to August 15 (Sun) |
| Capacity: | 16 beds (8 beds for male participants, and 8 beds for female) |
＜Facility & Equipment＞
One unit has three separate bed rooms with one common bathroom and lavatory.
For daily cooking (and eating?), course participants shall only be allowed to use a common large kitchen located on the 1st floor.
A laundry room with coin-washing machines (150 yen) and coin-dryers (100 yen/40 m) is available on the 2nd floor.
If you are accepted to stay at the Tokiwa International Hall, we will inform you of the detailed conditions and regulations of the facility by July 10, 2010. The lodging fee for the entire period of stay should be paid on the first day of the course. No participants shall be allowed to stay at this facility before or after the period mentioned above.
Foreign applicants shall be requested to stay in a local youth hostel or city hotel in the event that there are no longer any vacancies at the International Hall.
B. Home-stay with a Host Family (Only for full-time students from abroad with no income. Available host families are very limited.)
To stay with a host family is another option for participants during the two weeks of the course, but only participants who are full-time students from abroad that have no income are eligible to apply.
| Application Deadline: | June 30, 2010 |
|---|---|
| Home-stay Fee: | 500 yen per day |
| Possible Period of Stay: | July 31 (Sat) to August 14 (Sat) |
Please carefully read the following conditions before sending your application form.
1) Even if you apply for a home-stay, for various reasons it is possible that we will not be able to find a host family that can accept you. We will inform you by July 15 at the latest whether or not you can stay with a host family during the course period. In the event that we cannot arrange a host family for you, you will be requested to stay in the International Hall by paying the lodging fees at the daily rate of 1,200 yen.
2) If you are informed by July 15 that you can stay with a host family, you shall be required to pay the home-stay fees for the entire period of your stay based upon a daily rate at 500 yen upon your arrival at Tokiwa University. (E.g. If you stay for 16 days with a host family, the total amount you have to pay shall be 8,000 yen.)
3) Each host family has their own customs and rules, and all participants who stay with a host family are strongly requested to follow those rules. Host families are not hotels, so you must always behave modestly and politely. If we receive any complaints from your host homily about your bad manners or behavior, you will be immediately asked to move to a city hotel at your own expense.
4) The environmental situations and conditions of the different host families vary, so some participants shall have to use public transportation and bare all related fees (including those of the daily commute to Tokiwa University). Arrangement of the host families for each home-stay applicant will be totally managed by the TIVI, and we will inform you by July 15 of all expected costs. If you cannot accept these conditions, you may lose a chance to stay with a host family and will be asked to stay in the International Hall or a city hotel.
