■About Koebi Dormitory
The Koebi Dormitory is a facility where participating Koebi-tai members can stay for free, so that our members can help in art production and operation for the Setouchi Triennale 2025 with ease. As the Dormitory is a communal living space, please read the following guidelines for application and usage carefully, and observe the rules during your stay.
・The Dormitory consists of shared rooms and a large hall, with Japanese futon mattresses arranged side by side.
・Although showers are available, the number of units is limited. If you would like to take a bath at your own pace, you may visit a public bath nearby.
・We do not provide bicycle rentals. Please use other bicycle rental services.
