Just three-minutes' away from the school is a boarding house specially outfitted for the students. Inside this two-story building are eight rooms for the children, a large cafeteria, and a playroom. About 40 students each year live there along with 15 instructors.

The boarding house has a long history; it was built in 1941 for students who wanted to attend Komei but lived far away and were unable to commute. Recently, though, even kids who live in the school's neighborhood have asked to be allowed to stay there. By living together with their friends and not depending on their parents, they learn to do things by themselves.

The children living in the boarding house wake up at 6:20 on school days. After getting dressed and having breakfast, they go to school at 8:45. Following school, they come back to the boarding house and have dinner together at 5:15. After dinner is finished, the students have free time until about 8:00, during which they watch TV and play with their friends. They have to be back in their rooms and be ready for bed at 9:00.
