Moving into Student Dormitories after Returning to or Entering Japan


As we announced in the "Departure from and Entry into Japan (the Second Report)," when returning or entering from overseas, regardless of the risk level released by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, students are asked not to leave their residence and stay outside the campus for two weeks after returning to or entering Japan, and not to use public transportation (including taxis) in Japan.
"Residence" here does not include the student dormitories (Minesawa International Student Dormitory, International Student House, Ooka International Residence, Tokiwadai International Residence).During this two-week period of staying in their residences, students are not allowed to enter the student dormitories irrespective of whether they are new or current dormitory residents. Students must find accommodation outside the student dormitory at their own expense. Additionally, to prevent the spread of infection, please refrain from asking your acquaintances in Japan to drive you so as to provide you with a means of transportation, or staying at the home of such acquaintances.
Procedures for moving in

1. As soon as you know the date you will return to Japan, contact the Student Support Division and the dormitory under Contacts below.
2. Upon entering Japan, e-mail or FAX your passport entry stamp, ticket stub, or another document showing the date of entry to the Student Support Division and the dormitory.
3. Stay at accommodation outside the campus other than the student dormitories for two weeks. You cannot enter the dormitories during this period.
4. For two weeks after you have entered Japan, check your temperature and health status twice a day and fill in the Health Check Sheet for Prevention of the Spread of the Novel Coronavirus. Additionally, avoid contact with friends, and be sure to wash your hands and strictly follow cough etiquette.
5. E-mail or FAX the Health Check Sheet to the Student Support Division or the dormitory two days prior to your moving in.
   * The content of your Health Check Sheet will be checked and the Student Support Division or the dormitory will respond as to whether or not you are allowed to move in.
6. Bring your Health Check Sheet to the dormitory on the day you move in and submit it when you move in.
   However, if you have a fever of 37.5℃ or higher, or have cold symptoms the day before or on the day you move in, you will not be allowed to move in.
