A good apartment option for quarantine is Metro Residences

NagasakiGeneral considerations

TMGH is located in Sakamoto campus, around 4km north of downtown Nagasaki city (i.e. around 1-hour walk or 30 minutes by tram) and 3km north from Nagasaki station. The best options listed below within a 10-minute walk of the university are Mezame hostel and Alpha Inn, and university or private accommodation (subject to availability). There are many bars & restaurants in the Hamaguchi-machi /Urakami areas near the university.

You may wish to travel outside Nagasaki during Golden Week. Therefore to avoid double-paying for accommodation, you may consider to book accommodation for April in the first instance, with a separate booking for May/June

Ideally students would arrive in Nagasaki at the beginning of April for the start of the course. Whilst it could be possible to join the sessions remotely during April (i.e. from home location or in quarantine), it is essential to be in Nagasaki in time for the lab practical sessions which are held in mid-late May/June and cannot be delivered remotely.

Due to ongoing travel restrictions, it is very unlikely that the Philippines component of the course will happen. Instead, the Nagasaki component of the course is likely to be extended by 1 week, with the course ending on June 18, 2021.

Hostels

Mezame hostel: clean, new, walking distance to the university. Close to many bars/restaurants. Female, mixed dormitory-style (private cabin-style sleeping areas) and private rooms.  Shared bathrooms, common room, kitchen and laundry. Cafe/bar with good food selection and craft beer. See website for more details. Prices from 3,500JPY/night (longer stay discount may be possible). A good (the best?) option.

HafH (Home away from Home): co-working type place, dorm (cabin-style rooms) or private rooms. Located in downtown Nagasaki, also other locations. Various plans available. Check the HafH website for more information.

Hostel Casa Noda (near Nagasaki train station, see website) and Casa Blanca guesthouse (near downtown, see website). Both more traditional dorm rooms from 2,500JPY/night.

Route cafe and Petit hostel: 5 semi-private cabin rooms (3,990 JPY/night), and a 6-bed family room for a family or group of friends (15,960 JPY/night). Close to Nagasaki station. See website for more info.

To explore other options and compare prices check out: Hostelworld, Agoda, Booking.com etc.

Hotels

Alpha Inn. Short walk from the university. Good option for shorter stays/visiting lecturers. See website.
*attention* The website is available only in Japanese and the staffs are not good English speakers. If you bring some kinds of  mobile translator with you or you yourself can speak some Japanese, that would be fine.

MP Hotels Nagasaki Mizube-No-Mori. from 3,980 yen/night. The location is kind of far from the university. (45~50 min by trams). However, because it is located in the middle of the city, you can easily access to shopping stores, restaurants, parks and sightseeing spots. You can cook dishes in your rooms but can also eat at the cafeteria on the 1st floor of the hotel.
See website.

Apartments/private residence

Generally difficult to arrange standard contracts for a short period of 2-3 months.

If not being rented by existing masters students, some private accommodation may be available to rent. Inquire via the university or course director.

Short-term apartments may be available such as Weekly Annex Nakamachi (from 32,900JPY/wk, see website) or Hotel Seibold (21,000JPY/wk or 63,000/month, see website). Also check booking.com or Air B&B.

Homestays

Possible, not sure. Check booking.com. More information to add if becomes available.

Visa & travel

Visa cost as per the Japanese embassy in your country

A return flight to Japan, in-country travel to Nagasaki (flight, train or bus)

Medical insurance

Needs to cover repatriation

Accommodation

A rough guide: Tokyo 14-day quarantine package (120,000 JPY), 82 days in Nagasaki @3,000 (246,000 JPY) = 366,000 JPY (see Accommodation page for more info)

Mobile phone/Wifi

Depends on the provider, estimate 20,000 JPY for 90 days (see Mobile phone and WiFi page for more info)

Eating/drinking

2,000 JPY/day (min 1,000) x 82 days = 82,000-164,000 JPY. See Food & Drink page for more info.

Italian Bar da Nobo
Has lots of vegetarian alternatives. And if the dishes are not already vegetarian you can easily make them so by removing an ingredient or two.

General tip:
When looking for vegetarian (*or vegan) food, going to an indian restaurant is almost 100% failproof.
The same goes for italian restaurants where the pasta and pizza dishes are, or can easily be made, vegetarian.
