There are six dormitories in Wakeijuku - East dorm, West dorm, South dorm, North dorm and Inui(Northwest) dorm for undergraduates, and Tatsumi(Southeast) dorm for graduates. Each dormitory consists of many Japanese students and a few foreign students.

Wakeijuku boarders live in one of six dormitories. Six dormitories are one "Wakeijuku Community," and all Japanese and foreign students are its member.

Wakeijuku is not a mere boarding house. Wakeijuku was established for "Human Growth through daily community life," therefore, all Wakeijuku boarders are members of the "Wakeijuku Community."

Foreign students are not an exception, either. In Wakeijuku, foreign students need to live with Japanese students, speak in Japanese, and follow the same rules. Any student accepted as a member of the "Wakeijuku Community" is never given special treatment.

There are no severe rules in the "Wakeijuku Community" to respect individuality and the group surrounding the individuality. However, Wakeijuku boarders are requested to respect "Three Rules" as follows.

First, "Necessity of greetings" - Greetings are the basics of life to build up human relations.

Second, "Follow the rules of community life" - in community life, a boarder cannot insist only on his convenience. To live pleasantly in dormitory, boarders must respect each other and follow the rules in the community.

Third, "Proactive participation into the cultural events and activities of Wakeijuku" - Many annual events are held at Wakeijuku, in which all the boarders are requested to participate. It will be a good experience to organize, manage, and participate in such events. Also, Wakeijuku provides Cultural Activities called "Kyoyo-Koza" free of charge. Wakeijuku boarders can be familiarized with Japanese tradition like, Kendo, Japanese Calligraphy, Zen, and so on. Events and Cultural Activities will probably sophisticate boarders.

At Wakeijuku, Cultural Activities(Kyoyo-Koza) are held. Wakeijuku boarders can enjoy Japanese traditional culture for free: Kendo, Japanese Tea Ceremony, Japanese Caligraphy, and so on. We want Wakeijuku boarders to participate in Cultural Activity. In most activities, excellent teachers give participants kind lessons.

In spite of such a convenient location, since 2.3ha of Wakeijuku land is the former Marquis Hosokawa Mansion, there are rich greens and many seasonal flowers in Wakeijuku. Its environment may make boarders feel refreshed.
