SECTIONFirst confirm the accommodation format

The facility has shared accommodation rooms, a large common space, shared bathing areas, shared wash areas and gender-separated shared toilets. It is not a hotel-style setup with a private bath and toilet inside each guest room. Headcount, room allocation and the actual usable areas are explained after candidate dates and facility conditions are checked.

SECTIONBasic items to bring personally

Treat the following as normal overnight essentials and remove items only after you have confirmed that they are actually provided.

  • Clothing and underwear for the number of nights

  • Toiletries, skincare and personal hygiene items

  • Towels

  • Regular medication and items you personally manage

  • Smartphone, charger and mobile battery

  • Refillable drink bottle

  • Season-appropriate outerwear and rain gear

  • Name labels or another way to identify baggage

SECTIONItems that may be easier to manage as group supplies

SECTIONUse smaller bags for shared facilities

When bathrooms and wash areas are shared, a small bathing or wash bag is easier to carry than taking a large travel bag each time. Separate wet and dry items and make sure personal ownership is identifiable.

  • Water-resistant or quick-drying bag for bathing items

  • Bag for separating wet towels and clothing

  • Pouch that keeps toiletries upright

  • A method for managing keys and devices taken outside the room
